in the Qur’an with
,
or no imaalah at all, except for the word
in aayah 109 of surah
At-Tawbah
,
which is read by the riwaayah of Qaloon with

found in the Qur’an, which is read with
(lessor imaalah) as
one of two allowed ways of reading this word, the other being with

imaalah at all).

is
read without any imaalah (

continuing (making

is
read with
