How to Practise This Page
- Learn the six Yarmaloon letters: ي ر م ل و ن.
- Merge without Ghunnah into ر and ل, and with Ghunnah into the other four.
- Before ب, change the Noon sound into a Meem with Ghunnah: that is Iqlab.
Idgham, Letter by Letter
The first four rows practise Idgham. Rows 1 and 4 use ر and ل, so they are read without Ghunnah: the Noon disappears and the Ra or Lam is simply doubled. Rows 2 and 3 use ی و م ن, so they keep the Ghunnah:
| Example | Idgham | Where it occurs |
|---|---|---|
| مِنْ رَّبِّكَ | without Ghunnah | Surah al-Baqarah 2:147 |
| مِنْ رَّبِّهِمْ | without Ghunnah | Surah al-Baqarah 2:5 |
| مِنْ لَّدُنْهُ | without Ghunnah | Surah an-Nisa 4:40 |
| يَكُنْ لَّهٗ | without Ghunnah | Surah al-Ikhlas 112:4 |
| كِتٰبًا يَّلْقٰىهُ | with Ghunnah | Surah al-Isra 17:13 |
| رَجُلٌ يَّسْعٰى | with Ghunnah | Surah Ya-Sin 36:20 |
| هُدًى وَّذِكْرٰى | with Ghunnah | Surah Ghafir 40:54 |
| وُجُوْهٌ يَّوْمَئِذٍ | with Ghunnah | Surah al-Ghashiyah 88:2 |
| بِرَحْمَةٍ مِّنْهُ | with Ghunnah | Surah at-Tawbah 9:21 |
| سِرَاجًا مُّنِيْرًا | with Ghunnah | Surah al-Ahzab 33:46 |
| حِطَّةٌ نَّغْفِرْ لَكُمْ | with Ghunnah | Surah al-Baqarah 2:58 |
| خَلْقٍ نُّعِيْدُهٗ | with Ghunnah | Surah al-Anbiya 21:104 |
| مُحَمَّدٌ رَّسُوْلُ اللّٰهِ | without Ghunnah | Surah al-Fath 48:29 |
| رَءُوْفٌ رَّحِيْمٌ | without Ghunnah | Surah at-Tawbah 9:128 |
| مُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا | without Ghunnah | Surah al-Baqarah 2:41 |
| وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ | without Ghunnah | Surah al-Humazah 104:1 |
Iqlab: Noon Becomes Meem
The last three rows practise Iqlab. Before ب, a Noon Saakinah or Tanween changes into a Meem, and the Meem is read with Ghunnah. The Quran printed in the Indo-Pak script puts a small Meem (ۢ ) above the Noon or the Tanween to show this:
| Example | Read | Where it occurs |
|---|---|---|
| مِنْۢ بَعْدِ | mim-ba‘-di | Surah al-Baqarah 2:27 |
| مِنْۢ بَقْلِهَا | mim-baq-li-haa | Surah al-Baqarah 2:61 |
| اَنْۢبِئْهُمْ | am-bi’-hum | Surah al-Baqarah 2:33 |
| لَيُنْۢبَذَنَّ | la-yum-ba-dhan-na | Surah al-Humazah 104:4 |
| قَوْلًاۢ بَلِيْغًا | qaw-lam-ba-lee-ghan | Surah an-Nisa 4:63 |
| خَبِيْرًاۢ بَصِيْرًا | kha-bee-ram-ba-ṣee-ran | Surah al-Isra 17:96 |
| جَنَّةٍۢ بِرَبْوَةٍ | jan-na-tim-bi-rab-wa-tin | Surah al-Baqarah 2:265 |
| كِرَامٍۢ بَرَرَةٍ | ki-raa-mim-ba-ra-ra-tin | Surah ‘Abasa 80:16 |
| حِلٌّۢ بِهٰذَا | ḥil-lum-bi-haa-dhaa | Surah al-Balad 90:2 |
| صُمٌّۢ بُكْمٌ | ṣum-mum-buk-mun | Surah al-Baqarah 2:18 |
The page spells مِنْۢ بَعْدِ as “Meem, Noon, Zer: min; Ba, Ain, Zabar: ba‘; Dal, Zer: di”, but it is read “mim-ba‘di”, with the lips closing for the Meem and a nasal hold before the Ba.
The Name of Allah at the Bottom
The box at the foot of the page gives a wazifa with يَا عَلِيْمُ (“O All-Knowing”). The book suggests reciting it 21 times, with Salat upon the Holy Prophet ﷺ once before and once after, blowing on water and drinking it before breakfast for 40 days, to strengthen the memory, and cites Shajarah ‘Attariyyah, p. 46.
Mistakes to Watch For
- Ghunnah with Ra or Lam. مِنْ رَّبِّكَ is “mir-rabbika”, with no nasal sound.
- Saying a Noon before Ba. مِنْۢ بَعْدِ is not “min ba‘di”.
- Pressing the lips hard in Iqlab. The lips close lightly for the Meem while the Ghunnah is held.
A Five-Minute Practice Plan
- Minute 1: rows 1 and 4, with no Ghunnah.
- Minute 2: rows 2 and 3, with Ghunnah.
- Minute 3: the Iqlab rows.
- Minute 4: compare مِنْ رَّبِّكَ (no Ghunnah) with مِنْ مِّثْلِهٖ (Ghunnah) and مِنْۢ بَعْدِ (Iqlab).
- Minute 5: read the Check Yourself line below.

Name the rule, then read:
يَكُنْ لَّهٗ · رَجُلٌ يَّسْعٰى · سِرَاجًا مُّنِيْرًا · وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ · اَنْۢبِئْهُمْ · كِرَامٍۢ بَرَرَةٍ
