Madni Qaida in English Page 40 – Lesson 13: Tashdeed With Ghunnah and Quranic Words
Welcome to Madni Qaida in English Page 40 at Learning Quraan. Page 40 continues Tashdeed practice, then moves into words from the Quran, many with Noon and Meem Mushaddadah.
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 40?
- Rows such as اَنَّ, اَمَّ and اَلَّ.
- Words such as رَبِّ, اِنَّ, ثُمَّ and مِنَّا.
- Words such as والتين, بالتقوى and الحج.
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 Letters of the Chart
The five rows at the top finish the Tashdeed chart from page 39:
| Letter | After Fathah | After Kasrah | After Dammah |
|---|---|---|---|
| ب Ba (Qalqalah) | اَبَّ ab-ba | اِبَّ ib-ba | اُبَّ ub-ba |
| م Meem (Ghunnah) | اَمَّ am-ma | اِمَّ im-ma | اُمَّ um-ma |
| و Waw | اَوَّ aw-wa | اِوَّ iw-wa | اُوَّ uw-wa |
| ف Fa | اَفَّ af-fa | اِفَّ if-fa | اُفَّ uf-fa |
| ل Lam | اَلَّ al-la | اِلَّ il-la | اُلَّ ul-la |
| ن Noon (Ghunnah) | اَنَّ an-na | اِنَّ in-na | اُنَّ un-na |
| ر Ra | اَرَّ ar-ra | اِرَّ ir-ra | اُرَّ ur-ra |
| ج Jeem (Qalqalah) | اَجَّ aj-ja | اِجَّ ij-ja | اُجَّ uj-ja |
| ش Sheen | اَشَّ ash-sha | اِشَّ ish-sha | اُشَّ ush-sha |
| ی Ya | اَیَّ ay-ya | اِیَّ iy-ya | اُیَّ uy-ya |
The green boxes are Meem and Noon: with Tashdeed they always take Ghunnah, held for one Alif (اَمَّ, اَنَّ). The red ones are Qalqalah letters (اَبَّ, اَجَّ).
Twenty-Four Words with Tashdeed
The rest of the page puts Tashdeed into real words. Green marks Ghunnah and red marks Qalqalah, as in the chart:

| صَدَّقَ | ṣad-da-qa | Qalqalah | Surah al-Qiyamah 75:31 |
| تَصَدّٰى | ta-ṣad-daa | Qalqalah | Surah ‘Abasa 80:6 |
| اَلدَّرَجَاتِ | ad-da-ra-jaa-ti | Lam not read | |
| مِنَ الدَّمْعِ | mi-nad-dam-‘i | Lam not read | Surah al-Ma’idah 5:83 |

A Letter Written but Not Read
Several words here begin with ال and have a Tashdeed on the letter after the Lam: وَالتِّيْنِ, اَلثَّاقِبُ, اَلدَّرَجَاتِ, وَالذّٰكِرِيْنَ. In these words the Lam is written but not read; the voice goes straight to the doubled letter: “wat-teeni”, not “wal-teeni”.
Mistakes to Watch For
- Short Ghunnah. ثُمَّ and اِنَّا need the full nasal hold.
- Reading the silent Lam. وَالتِّيْنِ is “wat-teeni”.
- Weak Qalqalah with Tashdeed. ثَجَّاجًا and فِي الْحَجِّ need a firm Jeem.
A Five-Minute Practice Plan
- Minute 1: read the five chart rows.
- Minute 2: the Ghunnah words: اِنَّ then اِنَّا then مِنَّا then ثُمَّ then وَلَمَّا.
- Minute 3: the silent-Lam words.
- Minute 4: the Qalqalah words: حَبَّبَ then ثَجَّاجًا then صَدَّقَ then تَصَدّٰى.
- Minute 5: read the Check Yourself line below.
