Ghunnah on Noon and Meem with Tashdeed
A Mushaddad Noon or Meem is always read with Ghunnah, which means holding the sound in the nose. Its length is one Alif, about two counts: اِنَّ, ثُمَّ. Back to Lesson 13 (page 38).
Idgham and the Yarmaloon letters
Idgham means merging. When one of the six Yarmaloon letters (ی ر م ل و ن) starts the next word, the Noon merges into it. With ی م و ن the merge has Ghunnah (مَنْ يَّقُوْلُ); with ر ل it has none (مِنْ رَّبِّكَ). Back to Lesson 14 (page 42).
Iqlab
Before ب, a Noon Saakinah or Tanween turns into a Meem and is read with Ghunnah, as a hidden Meem. The Quran marks it with a small Meem: مِنْۢ بَعْدِ “mim-ba‘di”. Back to Lesson 14 (page 42).
The three rules of Meem Saakinah
Idgham Shafawi: another Meem follows, the two merge with Ghunnah (لَكُمْ مَّا). Ikhfa Shafawi: ب follows, the Meem is hidden with Ghunnah (هُمْ بِهٖ). Izhar Shafawi: any other letter follows, the Meem is clear, no Ghunnah (اَلَمْ تَرَ). Back to Lesson 15 (page 44).
