Degrees of Vibration

Technically, it means: the vibration of the non-vowelled sound letter until a strong trembling sound is heard whether the absence of vowel (sukoon) is original or exposed (Aarid). The Qalqalah Letters (حروف القلقلة ) are five. They are grouped together in the phrase (قطب جد ). (Qutb Jad). That is: qaaf, taa, baa, geem, daal: It is required that the Qalqalah letters be with original or unoriginal sukoon (absence of a vowel) as a result of making a pause at a qalqalah letter. 1/ Lesser: The lesser degree of Qalqalah [Qalqala sughra] is when it occurs in the middle of a word.      Example: the Qaaf in: وَخَلَقْنَاكُمْ أَزْوَاجًا.   2/ Moderate: The moderate degree of Qalqalah [Qalqala mutawasita] is when a stop is made    on a letter which is not doubled (without shaddah)        Example: the letter Taa in : وَاللَّهُ مِنْ وَرَائِهِمْ مُحِيطٌ.      3/ Great: The greater degree of Qalqalah [Qalqalah kubra] is when a stop is made on a  doubled letter of qalqalah.
