Question As salaamu
alaikum wa rahmatullahe wa baraka dear brothers in Islam. About the letters
Kha and Ghayn, besides the fact that both of these letters have a round sound,
I have been taught that they also have a grating sound. However, where as I
may hear some Qarees (e.g. Sheikh Saad Al Ghamdi) reciting the letter Kha with
a grating sound, I do not hear Qarees reciting the letter Ghayn with a grating
sound AT ALL. Secondly, I have learnt that the letter daad is not pronounced
with a D sound nor a Z sound but in between the two extremes. Thirdly, I
notice that many Qarees stop at places in the Quran at which there is no stop
and yet do not repeat from where they stopped but just continue. For example;
Shaikh Shuhraim and Shaikh Haani Refaae. Is what they do incorrect? Also, my
final question is that of when the letter raa is flat and not round where does
one put the tongue or in other words, where is its Makhraj? Jazakallahu
khair. Answer Wa alaikum
assalaam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh, We apologize
for the delay in answering this. We
remember that you sent a sound
file with the letters too, but since attachments are automatically deleted we
do not have that. We thought we
responded by email, but cannot find it in our files.
We are not sure what you mean by a “round” sound.
Both letters have running of the sound, but the The letter
The study of
the stop and start is not a clear black and white one.
There are different scholars who have different opinions about the
grammatical place a particular word has in an aayah, and the difference leads
to some allowing a stop where other do not allow it.
If one is not well accomplished in Arabic grammar and the tafseer of
the Qur’an, it is always better to stop on the marked stops.
Scholars that have great knowledge in grammar and tafseer may, due to
their knowledge, stop in a different place than a marking.
Again, we are
not sure what is meant by round and flat, but it may be you are referring to
tafkheem (velarization) and tarqeeq (attenuation).
The articulation point of the letter May

and the zay, and is not in between the two letters, nor close to them. 
use the top of the tip of the tongue, and
the tip respectively.
does not change with tafkheem and tarqeeq, what changes is the position of the
posterior portion of the tongue.
