Question

Assalamu Aleikum

You mentioned 2 ways of reading verse 11 of surah Yusuf by the way of Hafs min Tariq ash Shatibiyyah. The first way is by merging the first noun into the second with ishmaam (circling of the two lips); the second way is by shortening the dhammah of the first noun to 2/3 of a vowel count with izhhar.
Would you please provide me the detailed lessons on your site that explain the proper way to read verse 11 of surah Yusuf so that I can understand better the ishmaam and the 2/3 vowel count?
