Full mouth Letters
It is the thickening of the voice and closing of the mouth when any of the letters are
pronounced.
Full Mouth letters: ق, غ, ظ, ط, ض, ص, خ
ض ْغطٍ – ق ِْظ
َ – َُّخص
The rest of the letters after taking out the full mouth letters and Alif ()أ, Laam ( )لand Raa ()ر

Noon Sakinah & Tanween
This Tajweed rule concerns the vowels and letters that create the ‘nnn‘ sound such as:
With Ghunnah: If these letters [ ]ي ن م وare followed after a noon sakinah or tanween, then
skip the ghunnah from the noon, but instead apply the ghunnah with the followed letter.
[]ينمو
Without Ghunnah: If these letters [ ]ل رare followed after a noon sakinah or tanween, then
skip noon and pronounce the followed letter without ghunnah.

Qalqalah
This Tajweed rule means ‘echoing’ and the application is to create an echoing sound at the
end of the pronunciation of certain letters. The purpose of this rule is to differentiate between
letters that have similar sounds when one stops on them (letter with sukoon, end of ayah, or
taking a breath). It also helps create flow within the recitation.
There are three places that the reciter needs to be wary of when performing Qalqalah.
When it occurs in the middle of a word, then it is a quick echo and a smooth continuation to
the next letter. It is like a shaddah, but without the clear extension of the vowel.
If one is stopping on a word that ends in Qalqalah, make the echoing a little more
pronounced.
If one is stopping on a word that has Qalqalah and it has a shaddah, one needs to have a
jerking echo.

Al-Madd
Madd affects letters which the reciter needs to stretch longer than they usually would. The
elongation differs depending on the situation and the symbol present. The length of the
Madd is usually described by the number of harakat or beats. Each different sub-rule has its
name, but to keep things clear and concise they are grouped by the number of beats
instead. The names of all of the rules are provided in one of the referenced links.
= َياyaa
If one stops at a word that ends in a tanween fatha, turn the tanween into an alif Madd.
