Page 64 continues the revision section with questions 21 to 27 on Lessons 12, 13. Each topic is explained below in our own words, with an example and a link back to the lesson. Use the page as a quiz: ask the question, let your child answer, then check.

The four rules of Noon Saakinah and Tanween

The letter that comes after the Noon decides the rule: Izhar (clear), Ikhfa (hidden), Idgham (merged) and Iqlab (changed to Meem). Izhar and Ikhfa are in Lesson 12, Idgham and Iqlab in Lesson 14. Back to Lesson 12 (page 35).

Izhar and the six throat letters

When a throat letter (ء ه ع ح غ خ) follows a Noon Saakinah or Tanween, the Noon is said clearly with no Ghunnah: مِنْ عَلَقٍ. These six letters are made far back in the throat, so the Noon is not affected by them. Back to Lesson 12 (page 35).

Ikhfa and its fifteen letters

Before the fifteen Ikhfa letters (ت ث ج د ذ ز س ش ص ض ط ظ ف ق ك) the Noon is hidden: the tongue does not press fully on its place and the sound goes through the nose with Ghunnah: مِنْ ثَمَرَةٍ. Before a heavy letter the Ghunnah also becomes heavy. Back to Lesson 12 (page 35).

Tashdeed and the Mushaddad letter

The small “w” mark (ـّ) is Tashdeed, and a letter carrying it is Mushaddad. It is read twice: once closing the syllable before it, once with its own vowel, holding it slightly: اَتَّ “at-ta”. Back to Lesson 13 (page 38).
