*- The non-vowelled noon (noon saakinah) ( النون الساكنة ): is the Noon which is void of a vowel.
Its pronunciation depends on the letter following it. Nunnation (Tanween). (
التنوين ): This is the additional noon affixed
to the end of the noun in pronunciation and in connected speech. The noun
is void of the noon in writing and when a stop is made on it. Its symbol is
two dhammahs (u), or two fatahas (a) or two
kasrahs (i).
The Tajweed rules and the non-vowelled noon are
equally applied to the non-vowelled noon resulting from nunnation
(Tanween) N.B. When the non-vowelled noon and nunnation (Tanween) are followed by a conjunctive hamzah, neither of them is subjected to the rules of
manifestation (Iz-haar) or assimilation (Idghaam), or
turning (Iqlaab) or concealment (Ikhfaa').
Both of them are accompanied with a kasrah (i) vowel, in order to avoid the meeting of two non-vowelled letters (saakinayn).
An exception is the noon in ( من
) the possessive preposition (min) which takes the vowel fataha (a) not the kasrah (i)
(to avoid the meeting of two non-vowelled letters;
and also because of the heaviness in shifting from a kasrah (i) to fataha (a) It should be observed that the rule is applied to
the non-vowelled noon (noon saakinah) and the nunnation (Tanween) only when they occur in the case of connected speech
not in the case of stop.
1/Turning: Turning (Iqlaab) literally means: to turn the face of something.
Technically, it means: replacing a letter with another while maintaining ghunnah [nasal twang] and concealment (Ikhfaa'). It is so called because it changes the non-vowelled noon or nunnation
(Tanween) into a concealed meem with a ghunnah [nasal twang].
Turning (Iqlaab) has only one letter which is the Baa' ( ب ).
2/Assimilation: Assimilation (Idghaam) literally
means: putting one thing into another. Technically, it means: inserting a
non-vowelled letter into a vowelled one to
become one doubled (mushaddad) letter. Assimilation is of two kinds: with and without
a nasal twang. Assimilation must involve two words. The letters of the two
types of assimilation are six. They are grouped in the phrase (yarmaluna).
2-a/ With Ghunnah: Assimilation with ghunnah [nasal
twang] has four letters grouped in the phrase: ينمو
(Yanmua) The letters are the yaa, noon, meem and waaw.
If any of these letters occurs after the non-vowelled noon or the noon of nunnation
(Tanween) provided that this occurs in two words then the
assimilation with ghunnaa must take place except in two cases: Yaa sin wal Qur'an ilhakim (يس
وَالْقُرْآنِ الْحَكِيمِ) and Nun wal qalam wa ma Yasturun (ن
وَالْقَلَمِ وَمَا يَسْطُرُونَ).
The rule in these two cases is absolute manifestation(Iz-haar mutlaq) This is an exception to the rule in observation of the
reading by Hafs.
2-b/ Without Ghunnah: Assimilation without ghunnah [nasal twang] has two letters.
These are the raa and the laam. If any of
them occurs after a non -vowelled noon or nunnation
on condition that this occurs in two words then assimilation without ghunnah must occur; except in the noon of man raq (مَنْ
رَاقٍ) which is pronounced with a compulsory pause
preventing assimilation.
3/ Manifestation: Manifestation (Iz-haar)
literally: means explanation and clarification. Technically, it means:
pronouncing every letter at its point of articulation clearly without ghunnah [nasal twang] in the apparent letter. 3-a/Absolute: It
is called guttural because its six letters emerge from the guttural (halq). These letters are: hamzah ( ء ) haa' ( ه ) ayn ( ع ) haa ( ح ) ghayn ( غ ) khaa ( خ )
3-b/Guttural: The Absolute Manifestation (Iz-haar mutlaq) Literally it means manifestation and clarification.
Technically, it means articulating every letter at its point of
articulation clearly without ghunnah [nasal
twang] in the apparent letter It is so called because it is neither limited
to the guttural nor to the labial letters Absolute Manifestation occurs
with a non-vowelled noon if it is followed either by a yaa or waaw in a single word.
This occurs in the Holy Qur'an in four places. (al
- dunya, bunyan, sinwan, qanwan). As for Yasin wal Qur'an Al hakim and Nun wal qalm wa ma yastrun the rule is absolute manifestation even though it
occurs in two words.
4/ True Concealment: Concealment (Ikhfaa') ( الإخفاء ) literally means: covering. Technically, it means:
pronouncing a letter with a quality between manifestation and assimilation
(idghaam) without doubling (shaddah) while
retaining the ghunnah [nasal twang].
It is also called real (haqiqi) because of the real concealment of the two noons (that is the non-vowelled noon and
the nunnation more than in others. Concealment (Ikhfaa) has fifteen letters, which are formed from the initial
letters of the words of the following line of poetry: following line of
