How to Practise This Page

- Memorise one section at a time and recite it to your teacher.
Du‘a-e-Qunoot and the Closing Salat
The last page of Lesson 22 gives Du‘a-e-Qunoot, then the verse commanding Salat upon the Holy Prophet ﷺ, Surah al-Ahzab 33:56, followed by a short Salat to recite.
Du‘a-e-Qunoot: اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنَّا نَسْتَعِيْنُكَ
In Hanafi fiqh it is Wajib in the third rak‘ah of Witr, before ruku‘, after saying Takbeer with the hands raised.
- نَسْتَعِيْنُكَ: Clear Ain.
- وَنَخْلَعُ: Kha heavy, then Ain.
- مَنْ يَّفْجُرُكَ: Idgham of the Noon into the Ya, with Ghunnah: “may-yafjuruka”.
- وَنَخْشٰى: Kha heavy; Khara Zabar two counts.
- مُلْحِقٌ: Ḥa from the throat; Qaf heavy.
Surah al-Ahzab 33:56
The verse begins اِنَّ اللّٰهَ وَمَلٰٓئِكَتَهٗ يُصَلُّوْنَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ. Points to watch: the Lam of Allah is thick after the Fathah of اِنَّ; وَمَلٰٓئِكَتَهٗ has a Madd Muttasil; عَلَى النَّبِيِّ has a silent Lam and a doubled Noon with Ghunnah; and تَسْلِيْمًا ends with a Madd ‘Aarid at the stop: “tasleemaa”.
Finishing the Qa‘idah
A child who can read this page fluently, with the rules applied, has completed the reading course of the Qa‘idah and is ready to start reading the Quran itself with a teacher. The pages that follow are a question-and-answer review of the rules.
For the full Hanafi method of prayer, step by step, see our How to Pray guide.
Mistakes to Watch For
- Merging نَخْلَعُ and نَخْشٰى. Both start with a heavy Kha, but the next letters differ.
- A clear Noon in مَنْ يَّفْجُرُكَ. It is Idgham with Ghunnah.
- A thin Qaf in مُلْحِقٌ. Keep it heavy.
A Five-Minute Practice Plan
- Minute 1: Du‘a-e-Qunoot, first two lines.
- Minute 2: the next two lines.
- Minute 3: the last line, ending مُلْحِقٌ.
- Minute 4: Surah al-Ahzab 33:56, slowly.
- Minute 5: the closing Salat upon the Prophet ﷺ.
