Madni Qaida in English Page 38 – Lesson 12 Phrases and Lesson 13: Tashdeed

Welcome to Madni Qaida in English Page 38 at Learning Quraan. Page 38 finishes the Tanween phrases and starts Lesson 13 on Tashdeed. A letter with the Tashdeed sign is called Mushaddadah and is read twice.

This page is part of Lesson 13: Tashdeed (Doubled Letters). See every page on the Madni Qaida in English index, or learn with a teacher in our online Quran courses.

What is on Madni Qaida in English Page 38?

• How to pronounce a Mushaddad letter twice with a slight hold.
• Ghunnah is always made on Noon and Meem with Tashdeed, for one Alif.
• Qalqalah letters with Tashdeed are read with emphasis.

How to Practise This Page

• Say a Mushaddad letter twice: once joined to the letter before, once with its own vowel.
• Always make Ghunnah on Noon and Meem with Tashdeed, for about one Alif.
• Give Qalqalah letters with Tashdeed extra emphasis.

The Last Pairs of Lesson 12

The three rows at the top finish the Tanween practice from page 37. As before, the right-hand box in each row is Izhar and the other two are Ikhfa, now reaching the last Ikhfa letters (ظ ف ق ك):

Notice that Ghunnah before ظ and ق is full and heavy, while before ف and ك it stays light.

Lesson 13: Tashdeed

The bottom half of the page opens Lesson 13. In short, the rules are:

• Tashdeed is the small “w”-shaped mark ـّ. A letter carrying it is Mushaddadah.
• Read it twice. First as a Saakin letter joined to the moving letter before it, then again with its own vowel, holding it down slightly: اَتَّ is “at” + “ta”, said “at-ta”.
• Ghunnah on Noon and Meem. A Mushaddad Noon or Meem is always read with Ghunnah (the sound held in the nose) for the length of one Alif: اِنَّ, ثُمَّ.
• Qalqalah letters with Tashdeed are read with emphasis.
• Moving + Saakin + Mushaddad. When a moving letter is followed by a Saakin letter and then a Mushaddad one, the Saakin letter is usually (not always) dropped and the moving letter joins straight onto the Mushaddad letter.

The page goes on to give the example of the last rule on page 39.

Mistakes to Watch For

• Reading Tashdeed once. اَتَّ said “ata” loses the doubled sound.
• Short Ghunnah. اِنَّ needs a nasal hold of about two counts on the Noon.
• Ghunnah in Izhar. رَفْرَفٍ خُضْرٍ keeps a clear “n” before the Kha.

A Five-Minute Practice Plan

1. Minute 1: read the nine Lesson 12 pairs.
2. Minute 2: say اَتْ then اَتَّ: one Ta, then two.
3. Minute 3: say اِنْ then اِنَّ, holding the Ghunnah on the second.
4. Minute 4: read the rules above aloud with your child.
5. Minute 5: read the Check Yourself line below.
