Rules of Recitation for Qaloon
Lesson One
1.
The
Basmalah between two surahs
Qaloon has only one way of joining the
end of one surah with the next following surah, and that is with the
basmalah between the two surahs. The exception would be joining surah Al-Anfaal
with surah At-Tawbah, since there is no basmalah at the beginning of surah
At-Tawbah.
2.
Qaloon reads
in
surah Al-Faatihah aayah 4 with no alif in the word
.
3.
Lengthening
of a dhammah on the plural meem on the end of a word.
Qaloon has two allowed ways of
reading the plural
when
continuing reading and followed by a word starting with a voweled letter.
The first allowed way is with a
normal sukoon on the end of the plural
.
The second allowed way is the lengthening of a temporary dhammah put on the
plural
of
two vowel counts on the end of a word, if the first pronounced letter of the
next word is voweled. If there is a hamzah (
)
as the first letter of the next word, the
is lengthened two or
four vowel counts, correlating with the medd lengthening the reciter is
using for
.
The recitation of Qaloon has two different allowed lengthenings for
,
two or four vowel counts. For example, as written below in all the plural
in
the aayah:
(Al-An'am
87)
It should be noted that the
plural
in the word
is followed
by a hamzah qata’
,
so in this case the lengthening of the dhammah put on the plural
equals the length we are reading
,
either two or four vowel counts.
If the word ending in the plural
is followed by a
sukoon, as in:
,
(Al-i-'Imran
110).
There is no lengthening of the dhammah on the
. This dhammah
is an incidental dhammah due to two saakin letters meeting.
