Question
Assalaamu 'alaykum wa
rahmatullah,
May Allah reward you
for such a wonderful website. This really fills a need. I apologize,
because I know I'm going to swamp you with questions in this e-mail. There
is no local teacher.
I am working learning
Warsh, and my question is about the
. In the
following link:
http://www.abouttajweed.com/warsh_rules_2.htm, you
state for the example "A" in Qur'an 7:111 and 26:36
,
that the madd is 2 harakahs. Although my goal is to read from my "plain"
mushaf, I picked up a "tajweedee" mushaf because I thought it would help me
understand the rules. The tajweedee one marks it has having a necessary 6
harakahs. Is there are a difference on this? And if there is, do some give
it the option of 2, 4 or 6 harakahs?
Also, you stated that
otherwise, the rules are as the rules of Hafs. I don't know the rules of
Hafs. :) Does the normal "ha" get only 2, or is it an optional 2,4, or 6?
Similar for B: is
the madd as-silah just 2, or is it 2, 4, or 6 optional?
Jazakum Allahu khayr.
Barak Ullahu feekum.

The questions are not excessive, may Allah reward you.
There is no hamzah or
sukoon after the
in
the phrase
,
so there is no reason for a longer medd. The medd is only two vowel counts
then and there is no difference of opinion on this.
What we think the
tajweed mushaf you have was referring to was the word previous to these two
words,
. In
this case there is a medd letter (the
) at the end
of a word and the first letter of the next word
is a hamzah,
, we
have
,
and Warsh lengthens this six vowel counts. Hafs on the other hand,
lengthens it four or five vowel counts.
The only time the
vowel on the
gets
lengthened for both Warsh and Hafs is when there is
, outside
of a few special words. To review the conditions for

see

. This link is for the rules of Hafs, but the conditions are the same for
Warsh for

the exception for
in
the aayah 69
of
surah al-Furqan at the bottom of this link is not the same for
Warsh.
Hafs and Warsh (and
all of the different qira’aat) lengthen
two
vowel counts. When there is a hamzah following the
which
fulfils the conditions for

then lengthens it six vowel counts. Hafs on the other had lengthens it four
or five vowel counts. This longer lengthening is called
