Assalamu alaykum

My question concerns the lessons on stopping on the end of words and in particular 'ha of pronoun'. Is the third math-hab 'taf-sa-dil' or 'tafseel'? I'm sorry the Arabic is not very clear.

Asalam Alyikum:
InshaAllah, I am trying to memorize as much Koran as possible. I have a little Koran at work that I use to memorize surahs. I have a lot of idle time at work and find it the best opportunity for me to memorize Koran. Because of the nature of my work, my Koran gets a little dirty, and one time I accidentally dropped it in oil, am I neglecting my Koran?

Regarding your lesson on ikhtilaas you have written 'it is not used only for stopping'. This remains unclear to me. Is ikhtilaas an allowable manner of stopping on words in any of the various qiraat?

Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu

1. Regarding the sakt in surah Yasin we have learnt that we can make waqf here or if we read in wasl we must make a sakt. Is it allowed to read in wasl without sakt in Hafs an Asim min tareeq Tayyibah - like the first ayah of Kahf?

2. Regarding the sakt in surahs al-qiyamah and al-mutaffifeen, can we read wasl without sakt in Hafs an Asim (both shatibiyyah and tayyibah)?

Could you please tell me in the definition for what is the reason that it is specified that it is:" the pronunciation of a non-voweled letter, stripped of any shaddah"?

I'm sure there must be a reason, and I can't think of what it is! Puzzled again!

Question (24 Sha'baan 1423/Oct. 30, 2002)

Assalaamu alaikum wa rahmatu Allahi wa barakaatuh.

Alhamdu li Allah for this site and May He reward you with good in this world and the next.

It is clear to me that we must round the mouth when saying a dhamma ( ). And also that we must return the mouth to the "neutral" position for a letter following a dhamma if it has a sukoon on this following letter. For example in the word: " " we must round the mouth carefully and completely for the dhamma on the kaf and then return to neutral for the Ikhfa of the noon and then again rounding for the dhamma on the ta' and back to neutral for meem.

My question is: in the case of a word like, for example, " " i.e two letters with dhamma following each other, is it preferred to return the mouth to neutral before saying the Ha ()with a dhamma. Thank you for reading my question and jazakum Allahu khair.

As Salamu Alaykum:
Please keep up the good work.

My question is:

In Turkey, I heard the letter "Daad" pronounced very much like "Zaa" lots of times. Even people are taught like that.

My friends from Pakistan and Afghanistan reported the same tendency.

Is it acceptable? Is it acceptable in other Qiraah?
Do you have any idea why this is so common?

Jazakum ALLAHu Khairan

Question (17 Sha'baan 1423/Oct. 23, 2002)

assalamu alaykum

Certain suras have different regional appellations. Besides, professional reciters I listen to do not include the suras in their recitation. From the end of one sura, they go to the basmala of the next sura. This sometimes creates misunderstandings, considering that in virtually all copies, the suras' titles are written, even decorated. Could you please help us understand this situation:

(a) Are the titles (ex: “al-fatiha,” “al-baqara” and so forth) parts of the Qur’an or not?

(b) If they are not part of it, when where they included in Qur’an copies? Specifically, were they included in the Uthmaan copies?

(d) To solve these misunderstandings, some people always use the number of the suras. Is this solution dependable; in other words, do all copies use the same numbering?

Any other related information will be highly appreciated. May Allah reward you.

wassalam

Assalamu alaykum

Jazakallahu khayran for your site. May it continue to benefit the recitors of the book of Allah.

I have three questions regarding beginning the recitation from the MIDDLE of a surah (eg verse 8 of Baqarah). We know that we must recite the taawuz, and that the recitation of basmalah is optional.

(1) If we decide to recite BOTH the taawuz and basmalah then there are 4 possible ways - qif wa qif, sil wa qif, qif wa sil, and sil wa sil. I have read two different books that say two different things. One book (and the view I learnt a few years ago) says that ALL 4 ways are allowed. The other book I read recently states that only qif wa sil, and sil wa qif are allowed (qif wa sil, and sil wa sil are not allowed). I am confused. Could you provide the correct opinion and if there is a difference of opinion please state so.

(2) If we decide to recite ONLY the taawuz are two ways allowed i.e waqf after taawuz, or wasl after taawuz; or is only waqf allowed?

(3) What about beginning the recitation from the MIDDLE of surah tawbah? What is the ruling regarding the basmalah here? If there is a difference of opinion please state so.

Wa jazakumullahu khayran.

I read your homepage with great interest and I happy I found someone I possibly could direct my question to. If I may ask straight forwardly what classical Arabic literature you can recommend me for learning the rules of tajweed. I may want to note that I would like to ask about some real classics and less about modern or newly written issues.

Dshazakmullahuchairan.

Question (9 Sha'baan 1423/Oct. 15, 2002)

Assalamu alaykum.

I was reading surah Maryam and came to the ayah with sajdah. I stopped reciting and made the sajdah. Now to resume my recitation can I go directly to the next ayah or do I follow the rules of restarting after qata' i.e recite the taawuz first (with or without the basmalah) and then start?

Question (4 Sha'baan 1423/Oct. 10, 2002)

Assalaamu alaikum wa rahmatu Allah.

The correct timing of the leen letters, (that is the ya saakinah or wow saakinah following a letter with a fatHa), such as when reading the word or (when continuing), needs practice it seems to me; because these letters should not be said so long as to be like a mad tabee'ee i.e. two counts nor too short so that they don't have their characteristic "rikhawah" i.e. the longest prolongation of the sound in pronouncing a saakin letter. Would it be possible to give us an example we could follow of the correct timing of these letters and any further explanation that could help?
Jazakum Allahu bi kulli khair!
