Tajweed Rules for Warsh 'an
Naafi 
Part One
These three rules are only part of the complete set of
rules of Warsh.
1.

Joining two surahs together, meaning joining the end of one surah with the
beginning of the next, following surah in the order of the Qur'an:
The recitation of Warsh has three allowable ways to join two surahs
together:
A.
:
Joining the first surah with the next following surah with a basmalah at the
beginning of the new surah. A reminder, it is not allowed to recite the
last aayah of the first surah and join it with the basmalah then stop, then
read the first aayah of the next following surah. Any other combination is
allowed of joining or cutting off and breathing. This way of joining of two
surahs is not allowed between surah Al-Anfaal and surah At-Tawbah, since
surah At-Tawbah has no basmalah.
Some scholars of recitation chose the basmalah before the four “Zuhr” suwar
for those using the way of sakt for other suwar (plural of surah). The four
“Zuhr” are: Al-Qiyaamah, Al-Balad, Al-MuTaffifeen, Al-Humazah.
B.
A
breathless pause between last word of the last aayah of the first surah and
the first aayah of the next following surah with no basmalah.
C.
:
Joining the last words of the first surah with the first words of the
following surah with no basmalah.
