Question

Asalamu aleykum.
I am learning Warsh recitation through listening to tapes like sheikh Husary and Abdulbasit Aalhamdulillah, I have memorized riwayat Hafs and I am planning to learn all the riwayats especially the qira’ah of imam Nafi'  with the two riwayah of Warsh and Qaaluun, so my question is while listening to Warsh recitation I have come upon when harf hamza comes after miim saakina it's recited as humuu so is this still idhar shafawee or their is another rule in warsh tajweed. My second question would you include Warsh lessons on this site may Allah reward you, and if know any warsh teacher in Sweden because I have learnt all the entire Qur’an in Warsh so what I need is someone to listen to my recitation and to correct my errors.  Jazakumullahu kheiran .

May Allah grant you the knowledge of the different qira’aat and make your learning solely for the sake of Allah.

In the recitation of Warsh, when a word ends in the plural , such as in the word  and the next word begins with a , the  is read with a dhammah and it is lengthened the length that Warsh reads all lengthenings, six vowel counts.  An example of this is in the phrase: .   Since the  is read with a dhammah the rule is not .  The rule is called  .   

Insha’ Allah we do plan on putting up the rules of  and other ways of recitation.  We are still planning the changes needed to be made to include this in the site.  Insha’ Allah it will not take too long.  

Please make sure you learn the rules in theory as well as in application.  There may be something you may not pick up in just listening to the recitation, or may not understand the reason for it, so it is quite important to learn the rules in theory and then apply them.  We apologize for not knowing teachers in Sweden .  May Allah grant you the best of teachers.
