Question

 

Salam wa rahmah

In your introduction you say that there are only 9 principles, however I have learnt according to the poem that there are 10.

1. Al hadd
2. almawdhu'
3. Ath-thamar
4. fadhlu
5. nisba
6. waadhi'
7. Al'ism
8. Alistimdad
9. Hukm Shari'

What is the tenth, can you please clarify?

 

Answer

Wa alaikum assalaam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,

The 10^th principle that is missing from the principles section on the site is , which means issues.  In the explanation in the book “Hilwatu At-Tilaawah fee Tajweed al-Quran al-Kareem” by Dr. Rehab Shaqaqi, under the supervision of Dr. Ayman Swayd, the  are explained as:

1. Knowledge of the articulation points of the letters

2. Knowledge of the inherent characteristics of the letters.

3. Knowledge of what becomes needed in rules because of the order of letters.

4. Exercising the tongue and much repetition.
