1 Holy Qur’an 1.1 Shaddah

The sign is called Tashdid is a sign of emphasis. It is functionally equivalent of writing the

letter twice in other languages.

To pronounce a letter with Tashdid, first the voice will be settled on it and then will be read with the short vowel as marked above the shaddah

1.2 Special case – nün and mïm

In case of nün and mïm bearing shaddah, the settling on the letters will take a little longer, in other words the voice will be prolonged on them before reading them with their short vowel.

This rule explained is also called Rule of Ghunnah, Ghunnah means continuous nasal sound for

about 2 seconds

- These the two letters Mïm and Nün are called Mïm Ghunnah and Nün Ghunnah
