RULES OF NOON & MEEM MUSHADADH     أحكامَ النونَ وَالمٌيمَ المشددتٌين

WHAT IS MUSHADDAD OR SHADDAH?

Shaddah is formed by bringing together two of the same letter, the first one is sakin (without vowel) and the second one with a vowel, it is recited with emphasis.

Example :

  ربّْ =  رَ بْ بَ

نْ + نِ = نِّ         نْ + نُ = نُّ          نْ +نَ = نَّ

مْ + مِ = مِّ            مْ + مُ = مُّ           مْ + مَ = مَّ

WHAT IS GHUNNAH ?

-The ghunnah is defined as: a nasal sound that is emitted from the nose.
• Noon and Meem are called letters of ghunnah.

The way of pronouncing:

If a Meem or Noon is Mushaddad (that is, it has a shaddah sign on it), the reader must do Ghunnah (or Nasal sound) of 2 (beats) on it.

MECHANISM:

The mechanism of pronouncing this Meem mushadadah:
• Close the lips together to pronounce the Meem and keep it closed as we making the Ghunnah (nasalization) from the nose.

• Keep the tongue in its articulation point and produce ghunnah for approximately two counts.

• Whenever the letter noon and meem have shaddah on them, they are held for a period of time with ghunnah.

• This type of ghunnah is called the most complete ghunnah ) ( غنةَ أكملَ ماَتكون )and it is the longest ghunnah.

TEXT: 

وَغُنَّ مِيمـاً ثَمَّ نُونـــاً شُددَّاً                 وَسَـمَّ كُـلاً حَـرْفَ غُنَّةٍ بَــدَا

VOCABULARY:

وَغُنَّ  – make / apply ghunnah
شُددَّاً  – ُwhen they (noon and meem) have a shaddah
وَسَـمَّ  – name
كُـلاً  – ُ ًُall / each one
كُـلاً – letter
بَــدَا – clear / apparent

TRANSLATION:

17. And apply ghunnah to meem, then the noon whenever they have a shaddah, and name each (of them; the noon and the meem) a letter of ghunnah (which is) clear.

COMMENTARY:

When the noon or the meem are mushaddad then the ghunnah in both of them should be read clearly.
Due to the ghunnah being so apparent in these letters, each one of them will be called a letter of ghunnah.
