Rules governing pronunciation during recitation of the Quran
POPULARITY
Welcome back to BeQuranic!Today is Tajweed Tuesday, and that means it's time to dive into the recitation and rules of the Qur'an — not in a complicated, academic way, but in a practical way that helps us all recite with confidence, clarity, and fluency.This week's Ayat of the Week comes from Surah al-Waqi‘ah, verses 68 to 74. It's a shorter passage than usual, which means we can take our time and really focus on perfecting our Tajweed.Practice Tips* First, slow down and get your articulation correct.* Then repeat until you're smooth and fluent.* Read with intention, not just mechanically. This is Qur'an — the speech of Allah. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit bequranic.substack.com/subscribe
Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh!Welcome back to BeQuranic. Today is Tuesday, which means it's time for Tajweed Tuesday!We'll start by reading our ayat of the week, then we'll break them down together and go through some of the Tajweed rules hidden within. This week, we're looking at Ayahs 57 to 67 from Surah al-Waqi‘ah.Let's begin with isti‘aadhah:أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِNow let's dive into the Tajweed breakdown:نَحْنُ خَلَقْنَاكُمْNotice the qalqalah on the letter qāf in khalaqnā. That bouncing sound is key. Don't read it flat—bounce it slightly: khalaqā, not khalak.خَلَقْنَاكُمْ فَلَوْلَا تُصَدِّقُونَThe mīm sākin in khalaqnākum is followed by a fā, which is not from the gunnah letters (mīm or bā). So this is iẓhār shafawī—read it clearly without nasalisation.أَفَرَأَيْتُمْ مَا تُمْنُونَIn tum, the mīm is followed by a mīm—so this is idghām mithlayn (or mutamāthilayn), meaning a full merge with gunnah (nasal sound). Stretch it for two counts.In tumnoon, the mīm is followed by a nūn. Since nūn is not one of the special mīm rules (mīm or bā), you treat this as iẓhār shafawī again—read it cleanly.أَأَنْتُمْ تَخْلُقُونَهُ أَمْ نَحْنُ الْخَالِقُونَTake care with the double hamzah in a'antum. Don't rush it. Open your mouth clearly: a-a.And again, when reading heavy letters like khā and ṣād, open your jaw. Don't round your lips. It's khā, not khō. The heaviness comes from the back of the tongue, not the lips.أَفَرَأَيْتُمْ مَا تَحْرُثُونَWe see the same rules here. The mīm sākin in tum is followed by a non-gunnah letter, so it's iẓhār again.Also, look out for any madd letters with a wave (~) on top—that means a long madd of four counts.لَوْ نَشَاءُ لَجَعَلْنَاهُ حُطَامًاIn nashā'u, the madd sign indicates a long madd of four counts.وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْتُمُ النَّشْأَةَ الْأُولَىIf you ever see a hamzah followed by an alif, wāw, or yā', that's called madd badal. For example:* آمَنَا (āmanā): hamzah + alif* إِيمَانًا (īmān): hamzah + yā'* الْأُولَى (ūlā): hamzah + wāwEven though these technically aren't madd ṭabī‘ī, in the riwāyah of Ḥafṣ (which most of the world follows), we read them with two counts—just like madd ṭabī‘ī.وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْتُمُ النَّشْأَةَ الْأُولَىPay attention to:* The mīm mushaddadah in ʿalimtumunna. That shaddah means wājib al-ghunnah—a strong nasalisation for two counts.That's a quick overview of the Tajweed gems from this week's ayat. Now that we've broken them down, I want you to go back and recite them again—slowly and deliberately.Break long ayahs into smaller parts. Master each part, smoothen it out, then combine. Take your time. If you make a mistake, pause, go back, fix it—then move forward with confidence.Let's read it again together, slowly and carefully. Then you can practise on your own.نَحْنُ خَلَقْنَاكُمْ فَلَوْلَا تُصَدِّقُونَأَفَرَأَيْتُمْ مَا تُمْنُونَأَأَنْتُمْ تَخْلُقُونَهُ أَمْ نَحْنُ الْخَالِقُونَنَحْنُ قَدَّرْنَا بَيْنَكُمُ الْمَوْتَ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَسْبُوقِينَعَلَىٰ أَنْ نُبَدِّلَ أَمْثَالَكُمْ وَنُنْشِئَكُمْ فِي مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَوَلَقَدْ عَلِمْتُمُ النَّشْأَةَ الْأُولَىٰ فَلَوْلَا تَذَكَّرُونَأَفَرَأَيْتُمْ مَا تَحْرُثُونَأَأَنْتُمْ تَزْرَعُونَهُ أَمْ نَحْنُ الزَّارِعُونَلَوْ نَشَاءُ لَجَعَلْنَاهُ حُطَامًا فَظَلْتُمْ تَفَكَّهُونَإِنَّا لَمُغْرَمُونَبَلْ نَحْنُ مَحْرُومُونَṢadaqallāhul ‘Aẓīm.For Qaswa students:I know we had Eid break over the weekend and missed Madrasah on Saturday, but our Qur'an journey doesn't pause. We don't take breaks from learning the words of Allah.So make sure to practise these ayat, smoothen your recitation, and get ready for Tafsir Thursday—and of course, Madrasah on Saturday.

Here's a smooth, podcast-style version of your transcript with a clear structure, natural flow, and a catchy title:
Great! Here's a refined and structured version of your Tajweed Tuesday + Ayat of the Week script for BeQuranic – Week 3 of Term 2, 2025 (covering Surah Al-Wāqiʿah, verses 27–40). This version improves clarity, flow, and consistency, while keeping your teaching voice and intent intact.Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh,Welcome back to BeQuranic. Today is Tuesday, and that means it's Tajweed Tuesday.Apologies—we didn't get a chance to upload Ayat of the Week earlier, so in today's session, we'll combine both. We'll recite this week's portion of Surah Al-Wāqiʿah, and then break down the Tajweed rules within it.Recitation TipWhen you're practicing:✅ Focus on smooth articulation✅ Pause after each ayah and correct your mistakes✅ Don't rush – Tajweed is about beautifying the Qur'an, not racing through itWrap-UpThat's all for this week's Tajweed Tuesday! Keep practicing these ayat from Surah Al-Wāqiʿah (27–40) and try to observe the Tajweed rules we've just gone through.
Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh,Welcome back to Be Qur'anic!It's Tuesday, and that means it's time for Tajweed Tuesday, where we break down the recitation and pronunciation rules from the Ayat of the Week.This is Week 2 of Term 2, and we're continuing with Surah al-Wāqiʿah, focusing on verses 10 to 26. Don't worry — although that's 16 ayat, the verses are short and rhythmically structured, which makes them ideal for learning Tajweed.Let's begin with Isti‘ādhah:أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيمThis is not part of the Qur'an but an instruction from Allah — “When you recite the Qur'an, seek refuge in Allah from Shayṭān.” So make sure we recite it with presence and proper tajweed, not rushed.Key Tajweed Highlights1. Al-Madd (Elongation)We notice several types of madd in these verses:* Madd Aṣlī (natural elongation): e.g., Was-sābiqūna — stretch it for two counts.* Madd Muttasil : Look for wavy signs — these must be stretched to 4 counts.2. Gunnah (Nasalisation)Whenever you see nun mushaddadah or meem mushaddadah, like in:* Muqarrabūn or Waḥūrun ‘īnThere's wājib al-ghunnah — nasal sound for two counts.Pinch your nose slightly — you should feel it vibrate.3. Idghām (Merging)For tanwīn or nūn sākinah followed by letters of Yarmalūn, you'll often get:* Idghām bighunnah (merging with nasalisation), e.g. ‘alā sururin mawḍūnah* If it's followed by a non-Yarmalūn letter like sīn, we get ikhfā' (partial hiding), as in qīlan salāman.4. Ikhfā' (Partial nasal concealment)Found when nūn sākinah or tanwīn is followed by certain letters (like zāy, sīn, ṭā).Example:* Yanzifūn — here, nūn is hidden and flows into the sound of zāy with ghunnah.5. Qalqalah (Bounce or echo)Letters like qāf, ṭā, bā, jīm, dāl when sākina produce a light bounce.E.g., lā yuqaddarūn — give the qāf a light bounce.Important Letter-Specific Reminders* Raw (ر) should be heavy (tafkhīm) when it has a fatḥah or ḍammah, and light (tarqīq) when it has a kasrah.* Ṣād (ص) is a heavy letter. Don't round your lips. The heaviness comes from lifting the back of your tongue, not your lips.* Ḍād (ض) — sides of the tongue should press against upper molars. Avoid turning it into a “dal”.* ‘Ayn (ع) — constrict the middle of your throat, not the top or bottom.* Hamzah (ء) — is a glottal stop, don't stretch or squeeze it.Common Symbols* A small circle above a letter means don't pronounce it — it's a silent or dropped letter.* A wavy line (tilde shape) means long madd — usually 4 to 6 counts.* A small alif means elongation for 2 counts — usually madd aṣlī.Practice AdviceDon't rush through all 16 ayat at once. If you're just starting, take it one ayah at a time:* Smooth out each word.* Pay attention to the makhraj (point of articulation).* Use a mirror or record yourself to check your pronunciation.* Once you're confident, try reciting the entire section with correct tajweed.For example, start with:Was-sābiqūna as-sābiqūn. Ulā'ikal muqarrabūn…— repeat until you're flowing smoothly with the right pace and rules.That's it for Tajweed Tuesday!Keep practising the ayat, and take note of these Tajweed points as you recite.See you on Thursday, inshaAllah, for Tafsir Thursday, where we'll explore the meanings behind these powerful verses from Surah al-Wāqiʿah.Wassalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.Welcome back to Be Qur'anic. Today is Tuesday, and that means it's Tajweed Tuesday.Every Tuesday during the term, we'll break down the tajwīd rules found in the Ayat of the Week. For Term 2, we're exploring Surah al-Wāqi‘ah. This week, we're focusing on verses 1 to 9.Let's begin.1.Isti‘ādhah and BasmalahA‘ūdhu billāhi min ash-shayṭānir-rajīmDon't rush through isti‘ādhah. This is a direct command from Allah: “When you recite the Qur'an, seek refuge in Allah.”Say it with presence, intention, and correct articulation.Bismillāhir-Raḥmānir-RaḥīmMany rush through the basmalah, but according to some scholars — like Imam al-Shāfi‘i — it is part of the Qur'an. Recite it properly, honouring each rule.2.Verse 1 – إِذَا وَقَعَتِ الْوَاقِعَةُ* Iẓā – contains a mad aṣlī (natural elongation), read it with 2 harakāt.* Waqa‘ati-l-Wāqi‘ah – notice the bouncing of the letter qāf and the correct emphasis on ‘Ayn. Maintain equal length in iẓā and wāqi‘ah.3.Verse 2 – لَيْسَ لِوَقَعَتِهَا كَاذِبَةٌ* Laysa li-waqa‘atihā – contains a mad aṣlī.* Qaf is a bouncing letter, qalqalah.* Kādhibah – the letter dhāl should have the tip of your tongue touch the edges of your front teeth, not the flat part. Don't confuse it with zāl (ز).4.Verse 3 – خَافِضَةٌ رَافِعَةٌ* The tanwīn at the end of khāfiḍah meets the letter rā – and rā is part of Yarmalūn. This is idghām bilā ghunnah – a full merge without nasal sound.* Read it: khāfiḍatur rāfi‘ah, not khāfiḍatun rāfi‘ah.5.Verse 4 – إِذَا رُجَّتِ الْأَرْضُ رَجًّا* Iẓā – again, mad aṣlī.* Rujjatil-arḍu – the ḍād with ḍammah causes the lips to round forward, not because of the letter itself, but due to the vowel.* Rajja – ends with tanwīn followed by shaddah. This is a mad ‘iwāḍ — elongate it two harakāt when stopping.6.Verse 5 – وَبُسَّتِ الْجِبَالُ بَسًّا* Bussat – pay attention to the shaddah on the sīn. Pronounce both sīn with clarity.* Jibāl – elongate the alif for 2 harakāt.* Bassā – another mad ‘iwāḍ, elongate 2 harakāt when stopping.7.Verse 6 – فَكَانَتْ هَبَاءً مُنْبَثًّا* Kānat – the tā is an aspirated letter, release a slight puff of air without turning it into a sīn.* Habā'an – look out for the mad followed by tanwīn.* Habā'am munbaththā – this is idghām bi-ghunnah: the tanwīn is merged with mīm, resulting in a nasal sound (ghunnah) and read with 2 harakāt.* Munbaththā – the thā should be light and pronounced with the tip of the tongue just between the teeth.8.Verse 7 – وَكُنتُمْ أَزْوَاجًا ثَلَاثَةً* Kuntum – here, the nūn sākinah meets tā. Tā is not part of Yarmalūn, so this is ikhfā', a partial merge with nasalisation. Shape your mouth for tā but pronounce the ghunnah clearly.* Azwājan thalāthah – another ikhfā'. The tanwīn at the end of azwājan meets thā, a non-Yarmalūn letter.9.Verse 8–9 – فَأَصْحَابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ مَا أَصْحَابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ* Fa-aṣḥābu-l-maymanah – the ṣād is not a lip letter. Don't purse your lips when reading it. The thickness comes from the back of the tongue rising.* Elongate the ā in aṣḥābu as it is part of the mad aṣlī.* Be careful not to elongate unnecessarily when stopping. If there's no mad letter, just stop naturally.Final TipNot all stops require elongation. Only stop with mad if there's a mad letter (like alif, wāw, or yā' with sukun and matching vowel before it). Otherwise, keep your stop natural and clean.That wraps up this week's Tajweed Tuesday on verses 1–9 of Surah al-Wāqi‘ah. Keep practising your recitation with attention to these tajwīd rules.InshaAllah, I'll see you on Thursday for Tafsir Thursday as we unpack the meanings and reflections from these verses.Wassalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.

Rules of Recitation of the Noble Quran (Ibn al-Jazari d. 833/1429)
Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.Welcome to BeQuranic.Today is Tuesday, the 25th of Ramadan.As always on Tuesdays, we've got Tajweed Tuesday, where we break down the Tajweed rules in the Ayat of the Week.This week, we are covering ayahs 56 to 61 of Surah Al-Rahman.Usually, we begin with the theory, and then apply it to the ayat.But this week, I want to do things a little differently.Since we've now completed the rules of Nun Sakin and Tanwin — which is one of the largest areas of Tajweed (aside from mudūd, or elongation) — I thought we could go straight into the application.We'll read the ayat, and then revisit and deep dive into the rules of Ikhfā', particularly focusing on examples we didn't fully cover last week.There are subtle but important differences between types of Ikhfā' — and these details help us beautify our recitation even more.So, get your mushaf out.Let's open up and read together — Surah Al-Rahman, ayat 56 to 61:
Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.Welcome to BeQuranic.Today is Monday, the 24th of Ramadan.That means tonight will be the eve of the 25th of Ramadan.And Rasulullah ﷺ said in a very well-known hadith:“Search for Laylatul Qadr in the last ten nights, on the odd nights.”So tonight is one of the last ten odd nights – it could be Laylatul Qadr.InshaAllah, let's make the most of this night.
Tajweed Tuesday – The Hidden Sound of Ikhfa!Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh!Welcome back to Be Quranic—it's Tajweed Tuesday! This week, we're diving into Ikhfa, one of the biggest Tajweed rules. We'll also break down the ayat of the week, which is Surah Ar-Rahman, verses 46 to 55. If you missed the recitation, check out Sunday's post!Quick Recap of Past LessonsBefore we get into this week's new rule, let's go over what we've learned so far:• Tajweed is about perfecting our recitation by understanding letter rules and stopping points.• Types of errors:• Major (Lahan Jali) – changes meaning (serious issue!).• Minor (Lahan Khafi) – affects beauty but not meaning.• Mad Asli (natural elongation) – Stretching vowels correctly (Alif, Waw, Ya).• Wajibul Ghunnah – The nasal sound in Nun and Mim Shaddah.• Nun Sakin & Tanwin rules:• Idhar (clear pronunciation) – When Nun meets throat letters.• Idgham (full merging) – When Nun disappears into Yarmaloon letters.• Iqlab (switching sound to Meem) – When Nun Sakin meets Ba.New This Week: Ikhfa – The Half-MergerThis week, we focus on Ikhfa, which literally means “hiding.” It happens when a Nun Sakin or Tanwin meets one of 14 specific letters (not Idgham, not Iqlab, not Idhar).How do you read Ikhfa? Instead of a full merger (where the Nun disappears), you blend the Nun sound into the next letter while shaping your mouth for that letter.Example:• Ikhfa with Fa → Nuhasuffala (your mouth is shaped for “Fa,” but the Nun sound is still present).• Ikhfa with Ta → Tantasiran (your tongue is positioned for “Ta,” but the Nun sound is hidden).• Ikhfa with Sheen → In sha Allah (the Nun sound is softly blended).It's not a full Idgham (merger), but not a clear Idhar either—it's the in-between!Tajweed Breakdown of the AyatAs we recited Surah Ar-Rahman (46–55), we spotted:✅ Ikhfa in action – Nun Sakin blending into letters like Fa, Kaf, Zay, Ta, Sheen.✅ Idhar (clear pronunciation) – When Nun meets a throat letter (e.g., Min Istabraq).✅ Madd rules – Stretching for four harakats where marked.✅ Iqlaab – Small Meem above a Nun Sakin, meaning it turns into a Meem sound.✅ Qalqalah (bouncy letters) – The usual suspects: ق ط ب ج د.Final Thoughts & What's Next?We've now covered all four of the Nun Sakin & Tanwin rules!
Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh!Welcome back to BeQuranic—it's Tajweed Tuesday! Today, we're diving into our ayat of the week, which is Surah Ar-Rahman, verses 37 to 45. If you missed it, check out the recitation posted yesterday!BeQuranic is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Before we break down the ayat, let's do a quick Tajweed recap:• We know Tajweed is all about beautifying our recitation—perfecting letter pronunciation and knowing where to stop and start.• We've talked about major and minor mistakes (Lahan Jali vs. Lahan Khafi). Major mistakes affect meaning (big problem!), while minor ones just refine our recitation.• We've covered Mad Asli (the basic elongation) and Wajibul Ghunnah (that nasal sound with Nun and Mim Shaddah).What's New This Week?This week, we learned about Iqlab, which means “switching.” It happens when a Nun Sakin or Tanwin is followed by a Ba (ب). Instead of pronouncing the Nun, you switch it to a Meem sound with two harakats of Ghunnah.Example: Instead of saying “dhanbihi”, you say “dhambihi” with a clear Meem sound.You'll notice this in the Madinah Mushaf, where there's a tiny Meem above the Nun Sakin or Tanwin. That's your cue to switch!Tajweed Breakdown of the AyatAs we recited our ayat, we spotted:• Idgham (merging letters) – Full mergers happen with Yarmaloon letters, but some are with or without Ghunnah!• Ikhfa (half-mergers) – These happen when Nun Sakin meets other letters, like Sheen or Kaf.• Madd rules – Stretching for four or six harakats depending on the type of elongation.• Qalqalah – The bouncy letters (ق ط ب ج د).All of this comes together to perfect our recitation, step by step.What's Next?Next week, we're diving deeper into Ikhfa, the biggest category of Nun Sakin and Tanwin rules. It's all about blending the Nun sound smoothly into the next letter without fully merging it.Final Reminder: It's Ramadan, the best time to increase our Quran recitation. Keep practicing, and I'll see you on Tajweed Thursday!Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh! This is a public episode.

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh!Alhamdulillah, we are now on the 4th day of Ramadan—a month of forgiveness, Qur'an, and blessings.In this session, we will discuss:✅ Why fasting enhances our connection with the Qur'an.✅ Understanding the human soul, nafs, and ruh.✅ Tajweed rules: Idgham, Ikhfa, and practical application from our Ayah of the Week (Surah Ar-Rahman 26-35).Why Does Fasting Strengthen Our Connection with the Qur'an?Fasting has always been linked to divine revelation.
Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, and welcome to BeQuranic.Alhamdulillah, we are now in the greatest month of the year—the blessed month of Ramadan.Ramadan: The Month of the Qur'anAllah tells us in the Qur'an:شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ الَّذِي أُنزِلَ فِيهِ الْقُرْآنِ“The month of Ramadan is the one in which the Qur'an was revealed…” (2:185)
Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.Welcome to BeQuranic!Today is Tuesday, the 26th of Shaaban, 1446 Hijrah—which means Ramadan is just a few days away! SubhanAllah, we are so close to the blessed month, the month of the Qur'an.And since it's Tajweed Tuesday, let's make the most of these last few days by working on beautifying our Qur'anic recitation. After all, what better way to prepare for Ramadan than by improving the way we connect with the words of Allah?Before we dive into today's lesson, let's do a quick recap of what we've covered so far.Over the past few weeks, we've explored:✅ The meaning of Tajweed – which is all about enhancing our recitation by following the rules of pronunciation, knowing how letters interact with each other, and understanding when to stop and when to continue.✅ Major and minor mistakes in Tajweed – Some mistakes, like switching letters or changing vowels, can actually alter the meaning of the ayah, and we absolutely need to avoid them. Other mistakes, like slight mispronunciations, don't change the meaning, but they still affect the beauty of our recitation.✅ Mad Asli (the foundational elongation) – Remember the golden rule? “Nuhiha” – three letters:• Alif after a Fathah• Waw after a Dhammah• Ya after a KasrahAnd we hold them for two harakat. Simple, right? But crucial, because missing it completely changes the meaning. Like how:
Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh!Welcome back to BeQuranic!Today is Tuesday, the 19th of Sha'ban, which means it's Tajweed Tuesday!We're going to break down the Tajweed rules from this week's ayat—Ayat 8 to 16 of Surah Ar-Rahman.Now, the 19th of Sha'ban also means we're just 10 or 11 days away from the blessed month of Ramadan!We ask Allah to bless us in Sha'ban, accept all our good deeds from Rajab and Sha'ban, and allow us to reach Ramadan in the best of faith and health. May we fast in a way that nurtures taqwa, read the Qur'an in a way that connects us to its divine message, and live as true Muslims, inshaAllah.Now, let's dive into today's Tajweed theory before we move on to practical application with Ayat 8-16 of Surah Ar-Rahman.Quick Recap of Last Week's LessonBeQuranic is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Last week, we covered:✔ What is Tajweed?• The science of perfecting Qur'anic recitation—giving each letter its due rights and merging letters properly.• It also includes knowing when to stop and where to restart so the meaning of the ayah remains intact.✔ Two Types of Tajweed Errors:• Major errors (Lahn Jali): Mistakes that change the meaning, like mispronouncing letters or harakat.• These mistakes can invalidate prayer, especially in Surah Al-Fatiha.• Minor errors (Lahn Khafi): Mistakes that don't change the meaning but affect the beauty of recitation.✔ The First Tajweed Rule: Mad Asli (Natural Madd)• Three letters of Mad Asli: Alif, Waw, and Ya• Example formula: Nuhiha• Two harakat length• Changing Mad Asli can alter the meaning—e.g., لَا تَذْهَبْ (Don't go) vs. لَتَذْهَبَنَّ (You will surely go).If you missed the full breakdown, check out last week's Tajweed Tuesday episode for details!New Tajweed Rule: Wajibul Ghunnah (Mandatory Nasal Sound)Today, we're learning Wajibul Ghunnah—which means it's compulsory to pronounce with a nasal sound.✔ Only TWO letters produce Ghunnah:• ن (Noon) and م (Meem) when they have a Shaddah (ّ)Even without a Shaddah, Noon and Meem already have a natural nasal sound. But when they have Shaddah, it becomes Wajibul Ghunnah, meaning you must pronounce it with a clear nasalization.Test It Yourself:Try pronouncing “An” (أن) or “Um” (أم) while pinching your nose.• If the sound gets blocked, that's because these letters require nasal airflow!• If you have a blocked nose, you will struggle to pronounce Ghunnah properly.✔ When you see Noon or Meem with Shaddah (ّ) → Apply Ghunnah!✔ Example words:• إنَّ (Inna)• ثُمَّ (Thumma)Let's Apply These Rules: Surah Ar-Rahman (Ayat 8-16)This week's recitation is a bit challenging because it contains letters that are very close in articulation but must be pronounced distinctly.Remember: Every letter must get its due right!Now, let's go through the Tajweed breakdown of Ayat 8 to 16 step by step.
Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh!Welcome to Week 2 of the BeQuranic Summer Season!This season, we're diving into Surah Ar-Rahman.Last week, we explored Ayat 1 to 7—we recited them, broke down the Tajweed rules, and started our Tafsir journey of this beautiful surah.This week, inshaAllah, we will be covering Ayat 8 to 16.• On Tuesday, you'll get the Tajweed Tuesday breakdown for this week's ayat.• On Thursday, we'll continue with Tafsir Thursday, diving deeper into the meanings and timeless wisdom of Surah Ar-Rahman.As always, Tajweed Tuesday is free for all, but if you'd like full access to Tafsir Thursday, consider subscribing to BeQuranic at bequranic.substack.com.Alright, without further delay, let's hand it over to Ustadh Emad for the recitation of Ayat 8 to 16 of Surah Ar-Rahman.

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh!Welcome back to BeQuranic!Alhamdulillah, today is Tuesday, the 12th of Shaaban. Shaaban is a special month, one that Rasulullah ﷺ would fast in more than any other month outside of Ramadan. Why? Because this is the month when our deeds are lifted and presented to Allah annually.We already have our daily presentation of deeds that happens after Fajr and after Asr, which is why Rasulullah ﷺ would dedicate those times for Qur'an recitation and dhikr. Then we have the weekly presentation on Mondays and Thursdays, which is why we are encouraged to fast on those days. Rasulullah ﷺ loved for his deeds to be lifted while he was in the state of worship.And then there's the annual presentation that happens in Shaaban. Saidatuna Aishah رضي الله عنها mentioned that Rasulullah ﷺ fasted the most in Shaaban, apart from Ramadan. And when asked why, he said, “I love for my deeds to be lifted while I am fasting.”Powering Up Our Intentions!Tomorrow is the 13th of Shaaban, which means we are entering the White Days—the 13th, 14th, and 15th of every lunar month, known as Ayyamul Beed (the White Days), because the nights are bright with the full moon.These days are Sunnah to fast in every month except Ramadan, as it is obligatory to fast the whole month. And here's the beautiful thing—you can combine multiple intentions when fasting these days!✅ For Wednesday: Intend to fast for Shaaban and the White Days—you get double the reward.✅ For Thursday: Intend to fast for Shaaban, the White Days, and the Sunnah fast of Thursday—that's triple the reward for one single fast!This is how we multiply our rewards with just one act of worship!Tajweed Tuesday: Let's Get into It!Since today is Tuesday, that means it's Tajweed Tuesday—the day we break down the rules of Qur'anic recitation so we can beautify and perfect our reading.Let's start with the basics of Tajweed before we dive into our practical session with Surah Ar-Rahman.What is Tajweed?The word Tajweed literally means “to beautify”. In the context of Qur'anic recitation, it means:
Assalamualaikum everyone,Welcome back to BeQuranic!Alhamdulillah, we've now entered the month of Sha'ban—a month filled with immense blessings and spiritual opportunities.Did you know that this is the month when our deeds are presented to Allah for the entire year? Rasulullah ﷺ told us that while our actions are recorded daily and weekly, in Sha'ban, they are lifted to Allah for the whole year.BeQuranic is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Daily & Weekly Presentation of DeedsEvery single day, our deeds are presented to Allah twice—after Fajr and after Asr. That's why Rasulullah ﷺ made a special effort to spend time in worship during these moments.After Fajr, he would recite Qur'an and do dhikr. After Asr, especially before or after Maghrib, he would again engage in dhikr, ensuring his deeds were lifted while he was in a state of worship.On a weekly level, our deeds are also presented on Mondays and Thursdays. And what did Rasulullah ﷺ do?He encouraged us to fast on these two days and said that he loved for his deeds to be lifted while he was fasting.Sha'ban – The Forgotten MonthSayyidatuna Aishah رضي الله عنها told us that Rasulullah ﷺ fasted the most in Sha'ban, more than any other month except for Ramadan.Why?Because Sha'ban is often forgotten. It's wedged between Rajab, a sacred month, and Ramadan, the most belovedmonth of the year. Many people focus on Rajab and then jump straight into preparing for Ramadan, neglecting Sha'ban.But Rasulullah ﷺ didn't forget this month. He increased his worship in Sha'ban precisely because many people overlooked it.What can we do in Sha'ban?As we enter this beautiful month, let's take inspiration from Rasulullah ﷺ:✅ Increase our fasting—especially on Mondays and Thursdays.✅ Dedicate time after Fajr and Asr for Qur'an and dhikr.✅ Be more mindful of our deeds, since they're being lifted to Allah for the entire year.New Season of BeQuranic – Summer/Autumn 2025Now that we're in Sha'ban, we're also stepping into a new season of BeQuranic!This season will run from February to mid-April, and we'll be diving deep into Surah Ar-Rahman.Here's how it works:

To hear more, visit bequranic.substack.com(00:00:00):Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu.Welcome to Day 18 of the BeQuranic New Year Challenge 2025.Our goal this month is to study Surah Al-Mulk, one ayah per day. Each day, we:1. Recite the ayah.2. Dissect its Tajweed rules.3. Explore its meaning and wisdoms.4. Take on the challenge of memorising one ayah every day.By the end of January, inshaAllah, we'll have completed both memorisation and reflection of this beautiful surah. If you're joining us for the first time, don't stress about catching up. Remember, the most beloved deeds to Allah are consistent ones, even if small.Let's begin with ayah 18 of Surah Al-Mulk.Recitation of Ayah 18:أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيموَلَقَدْ كَذَّبَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ نَكِيرِMeaning of the Ayah:Allah says:“And those before them also denied (the truth). So how (terrible) was My rejection!”Reflection and Lessons:1. The Universality of Rejection:Allah is consoling the Prophet ﷺ. The Quraysh were rejecting his message, mocking him, and oppressing him. But this rejection isn't new. Nations before them—like the people of Nuh, Lut, Aad, and Thamud—also denied their prophets.For the Prophet ﷺ and for us as his followers, this reminder is meant to strengthen our patience in the face of opposition. If the greatest prophets faced rejection, how can we expect life to be without challenges?BeQuranic is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.2. The Consequences of Rejection:فَكَيْفَ كَانَ نَكِيرِAllah asks rhetorically, “How terrible was My rejection?” It's a warning to those who oppose the truth. Nations like Aad and Thamud were known for their technological advancements and immense power, yet they were obliterated because they defied their prophets.The Quraysh were well aware of these stories; they even passed by the ruins of these nations on their trade routes. This ayah is a stark reminder of the consequences of arrogance and disobedience.3. Parallels to Modern Times:History repeats itself. Today, we see injustices, arrogance, and oppression all around us. We witness atrocities committed against innocent people. We might question when justice will come. This ayah reminds us that Allah's justice is inevitable—whether in this world or the Hereafter.

Every day, we read one ayah, analyse its Tajweed rules, explore its meaning, and reflect on its timeless lessons and wisdom. Plus, we're taking on the challenge of memorising one ayah a day. By the end of January, inshaAllah, we'll have the entire surah in our hearts, along with a deeper understanding of its message.Let's dive into ayah 17 today.Recitation of Ayah 17:أَمْ أَمِنتُم مَّن فِي ٱلسَّمَآءِ أَن يُرْسِلَ عَلَيْكُمْ حَاصِبًا فَسَتَعْلَمُونَ كَيْفَ نَذِيرٌthe Fatha of the Kaf and avoid making it sound like Kaif.Meaning and Reflection:Allah asks:“Or do you feel secure that the One above will not send a violent storm upon you? Then you will know how serious My warning was.”Building on Ayah 16:Yesterday, we reflected on how Allah controls the earth and could cause it to quake violently, swallowing us whole. Today, Allah shifts our attention upward—to the sky—and asks if we feel secure that He won't send down a storm of destruction.The word حَاصِبًا refers to a destructive wind carrying stones, debris, and fire. This type of wind was used as a punishment for past nations, such as the people of Lut and the army of the elephants in Surah Al-Fil.Lessons for Reflection:1. Allah's Absolute Control:Allah is not only the Creator but the Sustainer and Controller of everything in the heavens and earth. The forces of nature, which we often take for granted, are under His command. A gentle breeze could become a violent storm if He wills it.2. A Wake-Up Call:This ayah warns us not to become complacent. Do we really feel safe disobeying Allah? We may not face a literal storm, but Allah's warnings can come in various forms—illness, loss, or sudden calamities that remind us of our vulnerability.3. Signs from the Past:The people of Lut faced a similar punishment with a violent storm of brimstones. The army of the elephant in Surah Al-Fil was destroyed by tiny birds carrying stones. If Allah could do this to entire nations, are we exempt from His power?4. Gratitude and Accountability:Reflect on the blessings we enjoy every day. The same forces that could destroy us are the ones Allah uses to sustain us. The winds bring rain, the earth provides food, and the heavens protect us. With these blessings comes accountability.Challenge for Today:Take a moment to reflect on your surroundings. Ask yourself:• Do I sometimes feel “safe” in my disobedience?• How can I show gratitude to Allah for His mercy and control over my life?Let this ayah remind us that life is fragile and under Allah's command. Live each moment in obedience, so when the time comes to face Him, we can say we did our best to live as Muslims.That's it for Day 17. Stay consistent, reflect deeply, and keep striving. See you tomorrow, inshaAllah.Wassalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu.Thanks for reading BeQuranic! This post is public so feel free to share it. This is a public episode.

Every day, we read one ayah, break down its Tajweed rules, delve into its meaning, and reflect on its timeless lessons. As an added challenge, we memorise one ayah a day.

Today's ayah reminds us of the flip side: If He can tame the earth, He can also unleash its destructive power.Reflection on Allah's Power:This verse is a wake-up call. Do we really feel so safe in our disobedience that we forget Allah's might? Earthquakes, landslides, and natural calamities serve as reminders that everything remains under His control.Thanks for reading BeQuranic! This post is public so feel free to share it.
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit bequranic.substack.comAssalamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh!Welcome to Day 14 of the BeQuranic 2025 New Year Challenge! How's everyone doing? We're almost halfway through Surah Al-Mulk, and I hope this journey is inspiring you as much as it's inspiring me.Here's the plan, as always: one ayah a day, dissecting its Tajweed rules, understanding its meaning, and exploring the timeless wisdom it holds. And don't forget that added challenge—memorising one ayah every day! By the end of January, inshaAllah, we'll not only understand this surah but also have it in our hearts.BeQuranic is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Now, let's dive into today's ayah—ayah 14:“Does He who created not know, while He is the Subtle, Most Aware?”Tajweed Check-InBefore we delve into the meaning, let's review some Tajweed gems from this ayah:1. The letter ‘Ayn: This is a tricky one for many of us non-Arabs. It's a flowing sound, not blocked. So, when you say Ala, let it glide. It's not a stop—it's a soft flow.2. The noon sakin: There's no gunna here. It's a clear noon, pronounced crisply, like in man khalaqah.3. The mad arid lissukun: At the end of the ayah, we pause, extending it for four harakat.Let's always strive to give each letter its full rights. Remember, Tajweed isn't just about the sound—it's about respecting the words of Allah.The Meaning of Ayah 14Allah asks us a rhetorical question here: Does the One who created not know? Think about it—Allah, who created us, who designed every intricate part of our being, knows us better than we know ourselves. He knows not just what we say or do, but also what we think, feel, and intend.Allah then describes Himself as Al-Lateef—the Subtle—and Al-Khabeer—the All-Aware. These names are so profound. Al-Lateef refers to Allah's knowledge of even the smallest, most hidden things. Al-Khabeer tells us that He's completely aware of everything, from the tiniest atom to the grandest galaxy, and everything in between—including the deepest secrets of our hearts.Context of Revelation

Every day, we read one ayah, break down its Tajweed rules, delve into its meaning, and reflect on its lessons. For those memorising along with us, by the end of January, you'll have memorised the entire surah, inshaAllah!Today's ayah, ayah 10, offers a profound reminder. The people of Jahannam admit,“If only we had listened and used our reason, we would not be among the people of the blazing fire.”This verse highlights two key qualities that protect us from misguidance: listening and understanding. But too often, pride—kibr—gets in the way. When someone gives us advice, do we listen to understand, or are we quick to respond and defend our ego?The story of Abu Jahl teaches us this lesson well. He recognised the beauty of the Qur'an but refused to follow it because of tribal pride. Similarly, the path of Iblis shows how pride not only blinds but also leads to blame and misguidance.Our takeaway today: let's guard our hearts against pride and embrace humility. When advice comes our way, let's pause, listen, and seek to understand—not to defend or argue.I'll see you tomorrow, inshaAllah, as we continue this journey together.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit bequranic.substack.comWelcome back to Day 4 of the BeQuranic 2025 Challenge!This January, we're diving into Surah Al-Mulk—one ayah a day. We'll break down the Tajweed rules, explore its meaning, and reflect on the timeless lessons it holds for our lives. For those of you taking up the extra challenge, you'll also be memorising an ayah a day so that, by the end of January, you'll have memorised the entire Surah.And don't forget: reciting Surah Al-Mulk every night is not just a habit—it's a protector. As the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, it will guard us from the punishment of the grave.Now, before we get started, a quick note—I'm feeling a little under the weather today. My voice and tajweed aren't quite up to scratch because of this stuffed nose! But Alhamdulillah, I've got Sakeenah with me today, and she'll be reading ayah 4 from Surah Al-Mulk for us.Be Quranic is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Tajweed BreakdownIn this ayah, we come across a new tajweed rule: Mim Mushaddada, where the mim has a shaddah on it. This rule is called Wajibul Ghunnah, meaning it's compulsory to make a ghunnah—that lovely nasal sound.Now, because of my stuffed nose, I can't give you a proper example today, but Sakina demonstrated it perfectly. The ghunnah lasts for two harakat, like a double beat.We also see Ikhfa here, which involves merging the sound of noon saakinah with the following letter, Qaf, but maintaining the nasal tone. Then we have Qalqalah, a bouncing sound with the letter Ba.Each of these rules brings beauty and precision to the Qur'anic recitation. It's a reminder that even in the way we pronounce the Qur'an, there's perfection and harmony.Meaning of Ayah 4Now let's reflect on the meaning of this powerful ayah.In ayah 3, Allah directed us to observe the heavens, marvel at their perfection, and reflect on the vastness of His creation. In ayah 4, He doubles down on that message:“Thumma raji' il-basar karratayn yanqalib ilaikal basaru khasi'an wa huwa haseer.”“Then look again and again; your gaze will return humbled and exhausted.”Allah challenges us: Keep looking at the universe, examine it deeply. You won't find a single flaw. The deeper you look, the more you'll be awestruck by its precision and beauty.This ayah reminds us of the two types of revelation Allah has given us:1. The Qur'an—the recited revelation that connects us to Allah through dhikr (remembrance).2. The Universe—the observed revelation that inspires tafakkur (deep contemplation).When you pair dhikr with tafakkur, you create a cycle of spiritual growth. You recite the Qur'an, which inspires you to reflect on Allah's creation, and that reflection brings you back to the Qur'an with renewed understanding. It's a journey that continually deepens your connection to Allah.The Power of ContemplationThink about this: The universe we observe stretches 13.8 billion light-years in all directions. That's just the observable universe! Beyond that, it's even greater, far beyond what we can measure.

"Why are we tested?" "What is the purpose of this test?" "How does creating a relationship with the Quran exactly help me in my tests?"

The topic of "green signs" and "green flags" is excessively discussed on social media, often in negative ways. It has become all too common to argue over different signs, standards, and other trivial matters that do not contribute significantly to the ummah.

Cultivating these within yourself FIRST to become a better Muslim and seeking it out in others is key -------------------------------------- Al-Zubayr ibn ‘Awwam reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Lurking towards you are the diseases of the nations before you.

By the One in whose hand is my soul, you will not enter Paradise until you have faith and you will not have faith until you love each other. Shall I tell you what can affirm that for you?

Assalamu alaykum, As I begin my own spiritual journey, I want to hear from those who have taken this path before me. This podcast focuses on them and listening to their stories - uninterrupted. My name is Hebah Masood and I invite you to reflect on the trajectories of their lives, and the guidance and blessings provided by Allah swt along that journey. Reflecting on the order and harmony within nature, Shaykh AbdulKarim Yahya knew at a young age that God existed. He embraced Islam in his junior year of high school in Berkeley, California. A translation of Imam Ghazali's renowned "Ihya Uloom al-Deen" ("The Revival of the Religious Sciences") inspired him to seek out teachers who embodied those characteristics. His journey took him to Syria where he studied Arabic and Tajweed. And then onto Tarim, Yemen, where he was one of the first American students to enroll in the newly opened Dar al Mustafa. That became his base for 13 years, and he became a translator for Habib Omar and the other habaib all over the world. After returning to the U.S. he would eventually establish Dar Al-Rahma in 2017 to serve and teach the Muslims of the Detroit area.
