Question
Assalamu
Aleikum wa rahmatu lillahi
1. I have
notice in
surat
Al Imraan verse 194: "...wa 'ad ttanâ..
." the letter "dal" is
followed by the letter "ta" with a shadda. However, the letter dal
has no sign (such as a fatah, kasra, or dhamma). The same situation is
happening in
surat
Hud verse 42 in the phrase: "Irkab mma'anâ.
." The letter "ba"
has also no indication of vowel. In these situations, do we read the letter
with the shadda and not the letter that has no indication of being a vowel? In
other words, what are the rules?
2. Are
there 2 different ways of using pause in khalaf reading?
I have notice
that when a letter that has a sukoon is followed by a hamza , there is a small
pause applied. Once I listened to
surat
Fâtir, and the sheikh was using the small pause when a lenghtened vowel was
followed by a hamza. For example in verse 15 of
surat
fâtir, when he read "Yâ" (by lenghtening the ya) he paused for a
while and then continued to "ayyu han nâsu".
I hope you
understand my point inshallah.

1.
Whenever a letter has no vowel on it, it is saakin.
If there is a letter with no vowel followed by a letter with a shaddah,
then there is an idghaam (merging) of the first letter into the second.
The examples in the question are both of idghaam and as suggested, the
first letter is not pronounced since it merges into the second.

2.
In the recitation of
, which we assume you are
referring to, there are two types of sakt (breathless pauses), one required,
the other optional. The one that
is required is if there is a hamzah after the
saakinah
of
(as
in the word
) and in the word
,with
any of the three vowels on the hamzah of the word
, as long as we are not stopping on these
words. If the saakin letter is at
the end of a word and the hamzah the first letter of the next word, and we are
not stopping, there is an optional
, but it must be followed throughout the
recitation we are doing at the time. The
saakin letter cannot be a medd letter and this holds true for all recitations
that have a
on
a saakin letter before a hamzah, none of them have a
before
a medd letter. Your point is well
understood, but we cannot offer an explanation for what you heard.
