As salaamu alaikum wa rahmatullahe wa baraka dear brothers in Islam. About the letters Kha and Ghayn, besides the fact that both of these letters have a round sound, I have been taught that they also have a grating sound. However, where as I may hear some Qarees (e.g. Sheikh Saad Al Ghamdi) reciting the letter Kha with a grating sound, I do not hear Qarees reciting the letter Ghayn with a grating sound AT ALL. Secondly, I have learnt that the letter daad is not pronounced with a D sound nor a Z sound but in between the two extremes. Thirdly, I notice that many Qarees stop at places in the Quran at which there is no stop and yet do not repeat from where they stopped but just continue. For example; Shaikh Shuhraim and Shaikh Haani Refaae. Is what they do incorrect? Also, my final question is that of when the letter raa is flat and not round where does one put the tongue or in other words, where is its Makhraj? Jazakallahu khair. Answer Wa alaikum assalaam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh, We apologize for the delay in answering this. We remember that you sent a sound file with the letters too, but since attachments are automatically deleted we do not have that. We thought we responded by email, but cannot find it in our files. We are not sure what you mean by a “round” sound. Both letters have running of the sound, but the The letter The study of the stop and start is not a clear black and white one. There are different scholars who have different opinions about the grammatical place a particular word has in an aayah, and the difference leads to some allowing a stop where other do not allow it. If one is not well accomplished in Arabic grammar and the tafseer of the Qur’an, it is always better to stop on the marked stops. Scholars that have great knowledge in grammar and tafseer may, due to their knowledge, stop in a different place than a marking. Again, we are not sure what is meant by round and flat, but it may be you are referring to tafkheem (velarization) and tarqeeq (attenuation). The articulation point of the letter May Allah reward all Muslims with khair. |
