Question

Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatu Allah

In surah Yunus, aayah #89

how would we stop on the words : " " ?  Would that be a "presented sukoon" (mad 'aarid lissukoon) even with the shaddah on the noon at the end?

May Allah bless you and reward you. 

Answer

Wa alaikum assalaam wa rahmatu Allahi wa baraktauh.

The definition for the presented sukoon lengthening  () is: This medd occurs when there is only one letter after one of the three medd letters, it is the last letter of the word, this last letter has any vowel on it, and we are stopping on the last letter with a presented sukoon.

If we look at the word   we see that there is a medd letter (an alif) near the end of the word, and the letter that follows is a has a shaddah on it. The shaddah tells us there is two of the letter with the shaddah mark on it (the shaddah mark being the small  above a letter), the first of the two has a sukoon and the second has the vowel written with the shaddah mark.  We then know that there are two of the letter  at the end of this word, the first saakinah with an original sukoon, the second with the fat-h.  There are then two deviations from the definition of the presented sukoon lengthening: 1. There are two letters after the medd letter 2. There is a fixed (original) sukoon on the letter immediately following the medd letter, not a presented sukoon.  We therefore can conclude that this is not  when stopping.    

The word  has a medd letter followed by a original or fixed sukoon, this is the definition of a , or compulsory lengthening, we and in this case, since there is a shaddah on the letter following the medd letter, it is .  We lengthen this alif then six vowel counts, and this does not change whether continuing or stopping. 

One thing we must remember when stopping is that we still must give the letter  the full ghunnah timing that a shaddah receives. 

And may Allah bless you and reward you and make you of Allah's people and special ones.
