Noorani Qaida Page 24 - Lesson 12: Takhti Number 12 - Shaddah (Tashdeed)

Welcome to Noorani Qaida Page 24 at Learning Quraan[cite: 15]. This page introduces Takhti Number 12 (تختی نمبر دوازدہم: تشدید), which focuses on learning and practicing Shaddah (Tashdeed – ّ)[cite: 15].

A letter with a Shaddah is read twice: first joined with the preceding letter carrying a Harakah (vowel), and then pronounced independently with its own vowel[cite: 15]. Mastering Tashdeed is a vital milestone in Tajweed, ensuring correct rhythm and doubling of consonant sounds[cite: 15]. To build strong recitation skills with expert instructors, explore our Online Noorani Qaida for Kids program or view our complete curriculum on the Courses page[cite: 15].

Understanding Shaddah (Tashdeed) & Page 24 Rules

The instructional note at the top of Page 24 explains the core rule of Tashdeed[cite: 15]:

• Definition: A letter with a Shaddah is equivalent to two letters—the first one is Saakin (stationary) and merges with the preceding letter, while the second one carries its own Harakah (Fatha, Kasrah, or Damma)[cite: 15].
• Practice Grid: Page 24 provides systematic exercises combining Hamza and standard Arabic letters carrying Fatha, Kasrah, and Damma with Shaddah (e.g., أَبْبَ, أَبْبِ, أَبْبُ)[cite: 15].
• Ghunnah (Nasal Sound): Special emphasis is placed on applying Ghunnah when reciting Noon Mushaddadah (نّ) and Meem Mushaddadah (مّ)[cite: 15].

Word Breakdown & Practice Rows on Page 24

The practice rows guide students through letter combinations featuring Tashdeed[cite: 15]:

• Row 1 to Row 3 (Basic Combinations):
  • Practicing precise transitions from Hamza to doubled letters like Ba, Ta, Thaa, Jeem, Ha, and Kha with Fatha, Kasrah, and Damma[cite: 15].
  • Ensuring a firm hold on the letter with Shaddah before moving to the next syllable[cite: 15].
• Row 4 to Row 8 (Advanced Letter Integration):
  • Moving through Dal, Dhal, Ra, Zai, Seen, Shin, Saad, and Dad with Tashdeed[cite: 15].
  • Practicing heavy letter articulation (Huroof-e-Musta’liyah) when a Shaddah falls on letters like Saad, Dad, Ta, and Za[cite: 15].

Color-Coded Tajweed Guide for Page 24

Keep the following color rules in mind as you practice on Page 24[cite: 15]:

• Green Letters (Huroof-e-Musta’liyah): Heavy letters pronounced with full mouth elevation (خ, ص, ض, ط, ظ, غ, ق)[cite: 15].
• Orange/Yellow Highlights (Ghunnah): Mandatory nasal sound held for two counts on Noon and Meem with Shaddah[cite: 15].
• Blue Highlights (Qalqalah): Echoing sound if a Qalqalah letter carries a Sukoon or Shaddah at a stop[cite: 15].
