    Uploaded by

    MM Nabeel
    The document discusses the rules for pronouncing the letter ra (ر) in Arabic. It explains that ra can be pronounced either light or heavy depending on whether it is mutaharrik (has a vowel) or sakinah (without a vowel). If mutaharrik, it is heavy with fathah/dhamma and light with kasrah. If sakinah, its pronunciation depends on the harakah of preceding letters, with some exceptions. The document provides numerous examples to illustrate each rule.

    Rules of Raa

    FAST Tajweed Intensive - Summer 2012


    2
    The Rules of Raa
     Raa (‫ )ر‬is a letter that can be pronounced as
    either light or heavy, depending on certain
    conditions.
     The rules change according to whether
     A) Raa is Sakinah
     B) Raa is mutaharrik (i.e. it has some harakah on it)

    3
    When Raa is Mutaharrik
     If Raa has a Fat-hah or a dhamma on it, then it
    is always pronounced heavy, as in the following
    examples:

    4
    When Raa is Mutaharrik
     If Raa has a kasrah on it, then it is always
    pronounced light, as in the following:

    Examples of Light Raa

    ‫ْالبَ ِريَّ ِة‬

    ‫ت‬ ِ ‫فَ ْال ُم‬


    ِ ‫وريَا‬

    ‫ْال َخي ِْر‬

    FAST Tajweed Intensive - Summer 2012


    5
    When Raa is Sakinah
     If Raa is Sakinah, then we look at the harakah
    of the letter before it.
     If the letter before the Raa Sakinah has a
    Fathah or a dhamma on it, then it is always
    pronounced heavy, as in the following
    examples:

    Examples of Heavy Raa Sakinah

    ‫فََأث َ ْر َن‬
    ُ ‫ت َ ْر ُج‬
    ‫ف‬

    6
    When Raa is Sakinah…Contd.
     If the letter preceding Raa Sakinah has a
    kasrah on it, then the Raa Sakinah is
    pronounced light, unless:
     A) if the Raa Sakinah is coming right after a
    hamzatul wasl:
     It will always be pronounced heavy, regardless of the
    harakah on the letter before Hamzat-ul-Wasl

    Example of Heavy Raa Sakinah After Hamzatul


    Wasl

    7
    When Raa is Sakinah…Contd.
     B) If the Raa Sakinah is followed by one of the
    heavy letters in the same word:
     If the heavy letter has a kasrah, the Raa
    Sakinah is pronounced light
     Otherwise the Raa is pronounced heavy
     See the examples on the following slide
     Heavy letters are:

    ‫ظ‬ ٍ ْ ‫ضغ‬
    َ ‫ص‬

    9
    When Raa is Sakinah…Contd.
     If the Raa Sakinah is preceded by another
    Sakinah letter (because we have to stop at the
    Raa Sakinah), then we look at the harakah of
    the letter before that Sakinah letter.
    Example of heavy Raa Sakinah preceded by a
    Sakinah letter preceded by a letter with a Fat-hah or
    dhamma on it

    ‫ع ْش ٍر‬َ
    ‫ص ْف ٌر‬ُ
    Example of light Raa Sakinah preceded by a Sakinah
    letter preceded by a letter with a kasrah on it

    ‫ِح ْج ٍر‬

    An exception
     An exception to this rule is that a Raa Sakinah
    preceded by a yaa Sakinah ( ) is ALWAYS ْ‫ي‬
    pronounced light, even if the letter preceding
    that yaa Sakinah has a Fat-hah or dhamma on
    it, such as:
