Madni Qaida in English Page 39 – Lesson 13: Tashdeed Practice Chart
Welcome to Madni Qaida in English Page 39 at Learning Quraan. This page completes the Tashdeed rules and gives a chart of every letter with Tashdeed after Hamzah, such as اَتَّ, اِتَّ, اُتَّ.
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 39?
- The case where a Saakin letter is dropped before a Mushaddad letter, as in عبدتم.
- Tashdeed on heavy letters and similar-sounding letters.
- A steady hold on each doubled letter.
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 Rule at the Top: عَبَدْتُّمْ
The page completes the last rule of Lesson 13 with an example. In عَبَدْتُّمْ the moving Ba is followed by a Saakin Dal and then a Mushaddad Ta. The Dal is not pronounced: the Ba joins straight onto the doubled Ta, and the word is read عَبَتُّمْ “‘abattum”. The word occurs in Surah al-Kafirun 109:4.
Every Box in the Tashdeed Chart
Each box is an Alif carrying a vowel (read as Hamzah) followed by a Mushaddad letter with a Fathah. Read the letter twice: once closing the first syllable, once opening the second. The pairs are the sound-alike pairs used since Lesson 4:
| Letter | After Fathah | After Kasrah | After Dammah |
|---|---|---|---|
| ت Ta | اَتَّ at-ta | اِتَّ it-ta | اُتَّ ut-ta |
| ط Ṭa (Qalqalah) | اَطَّ aṭ-ṭa | اِطَّ iṭ-ṭa | اُطَّ uṭ-ṭa |
| ز Za | اَزَّ az-za | اِزَّ iz-za | اُزَّ uz-za |
| ذ Dhal | اَذَّ adh-dha | اِذَّ idh-dha | اُذَّ udh-dha |
| ظ Ẓa (heavy) | اَظَّ aẓ-ẓa | اِظَّ iẓ-ẓa | اُظَّ uẓ-ẓa |
| ض Ḍad (heavy) | اَضَّ aḍ-ḍa | اِضَّ iḍ-ḍa | اُضَّ uḍ-ḍa |
| ث Tha | اَثَّ ath-tha | اِثَّ ith-tha | اُثَّ uth-tha |
| س Seen | اَسَّ as-sa | اِسَّ is-sa | اُسَّ us-sa |
| ص Ṣad (heavy) | اَصَّ aṣ-ṣa | اِصَّ iṣ-ṣa | اُصَّ uṣ-ṣa |
| ك Kaf | اَكَّ ak-ka | اِكَّ ik-ka | اُكَّ uk-ka |
| ق Qaf (Qalqalah) | اَقَّ aq-qa | اِقَّ iq-qa | اُقَّ uq-qa |
| ه Ha | اَهَّ ah-ha | اِهَّ ih-ha | اُهَّ uh-ha |
| ح Ḥa | اَحَّ aḥ-ḥa | اِحَّ iḥ-ḥa | اُحَّ uḥ-ḥa |
| ع Ain | اَعَّ a‘-‘a | اِعَّ i‘-‘a | اُعَّ u‘-‘a |
| د Dal (Qalqalah) | اَدَّ ad-da | اِدَّ id-da | اُدَّ ud-da |
| خ Kha (heavy) | اَخَّ akh-kha | اِخَّ ikh-kha | اُخَّ ukh-kha |
The Colours
- Red: Qalqalah letters (ط, ق, د). With Tashdeed they are read with emphasis: اَطَّ, اَقَّ, اَدَّ.
- Blue: heavy letters (ظ ض ص خ), full and deep in both halves of the doubled sound.
Mistakes to Watch For
- A single letter. اَسَّ must be “as-sa”, with the Seen held for a moment.
- Merging pairs. اَزَّ and اَذَّ, or اَحَّ and اَعَّ, drift together when doubled. Keep each letter’s place.
- Reading the Dal. عَبَدْتُّمْ is not “‘abadtum”.
A Five-Minute Practice Plan
- Minute 1: read the first column (after Fathah) top to bottom.
- Minute 2: the red boxes: اَطَّ then اَقَّ then اَدَّ.
- Minute 3: the pairs: اَتَّ then اَطَّ; اَسَّ then اَصَّ; اَكَّ then اَقَّ.
- Minute 4: read عَبَدْتُّمْ the right way, five times.
- Minute 5: read the Check Yourself line below.
