Question
What is the correct way of saying Nabi in the plural form? Taking into account the rasm Alif Nuun Bey.... some people pronounce it is Anbiya using the first 3 Rasm alphabet whereas others pronounce it Ambiya. Is there a technicality involved using Tajweed or this an error? Answer There are actually two forms of pluralizing the word , which can have a dhammah as the last vowel, or a fathah, or a kasrah, depending on its grammatical place in the sentence. The first form of pluralizing is a regular form, which is , or ; and the use of one or the other is dependant on its grammatical place in the sentence. The other form, which is irregular, is , and this is the word referred to in the question. There is a saakinah followed by a , and in taweed rules, when this case exists, the saakinah is changed into a and the is hidden by closing the lips on the meem, holding it for the length of time for the complete ghunnah, then the lips are separated while pronouncing the . So one can spell it in transliteration into English letters using the written letters, al-anbiyaa', or the correct pronunciation of the letters, al-ambiyaa', whichever one prefers.
