What is Covered in Noorani Qaida Page 12?

Page 12 serves as a pivotal transition from standing vertical vowels to the fundamental rules of natural elongation (Maddah):

• Completion of Lesson 07 (Standing Vowels Practice): Practicing Khari Zabar, Khari Zer, and Ulta Pesh across the remaining Arabic letters including Kha (خ), Ta (ت), Tha (ث), Jeem (ج), Dal (د), Thal (ذ), Ra (ر), Zay (ز), Seen (س), Sheen (ش), Sad (ص), Dhad (ض), Toa (ط), Zoa (ظ), Fa (ف), Qaf (ق), Kaf (ك), Hamza (ء), Ha (هـ), Waw (و), Ya (ى), and Ghain (غ).
• Introduction to Lesson 08 (Huroof-e-Maddah): Learning the three primary letters of elongation: Alif Maddah, Waw Maddah, and Ya Maddah.
• Initial Maddah Letter Combinations: Practicing sets of letters combining all three Maddah types:
  • Baa: Baa-Alif (بَا), Baa-Waw (بُوْ), Baa-Ya (بِيْ)
  • Taa: Taa-Alif (تَا), Taa-Waw (تُوْ), Taa-Ya (تِيْ)
  • Thaa: Thaa-Alif (ثَا), Thaa-Waw (ثُوْ), Thaa-Ya (ثِيْ)
  • Haa: Haa-Alif (حَا), Haa-Waw (حُوْ), Haa-Ya (حِيْ)
  • Khaa: Khaa-Alif (خَا), Khaa-Waw (خُوْ), Khaa-Ya (خِيْ)
  • Raa: Raa-Alif (رَا), Raa-Waw (رُوْ), Raa-Ya (رِيْ)

Key Tajweed Guidelines for Huroof-e-Maddah

Understanding the conditions for Maddah letters is essential for correct Quranic pronunciation:

• Alif Maddah (الف مداہ): When an Alif (ا) is empty (has no vowel) and is preceded by a letter with a Fatha / Zabar (e.g., بَا).
• Waw Maddah (واؤ مداہ): When a Waw has a Sakin / Sukoon (وْ) and is preceded by a letter with a Damma / Pesh (e.g., بُوْ).
• Ya Maddah (یاء مداہ): When a Ya has a Sakin / Sukoon (يْ) and is preceded by a letter with a Kasra / Zer (e.g., بِيْ).
• Duration of Elongation: All three Maddah letters must be stretched smoothly for the duration of 1 Alif (2 counts or approximately 1 to 1.5 seconds) without sudden stops or over-stretching.
