Tajweed Tuesday: Mad Types and a New Rule!

📖 Ayat of the WeekWe’re reading and breaking down Surah al-Ḥujurāt, verses 6 to 8. These āyāt are rich in Tajweed opportunities—perfect for practice.🎯 Tajweed Focus1. يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا* This is a classic case of Mad Munfaṣil (detached).* The word “يَا” ends in a mad and is followed by a Hamzah at the start of the next word: “أَيُّهَا.”* You read this for four ḥarakāt, though up to six is also accepted.2. آمَنُوا إِن جَاءَكُمْ* “آمَنُوا” is Mad Badal, but in Ḥafṣ it’s read like Mad Aṣlī — simple two ḥarakāt.* “إِن جَاءَكُمْ” starts with a nūn sākinah followed by jīm = Ikhfā’.* “جَاءَكُمْ” is Mad Wājib Muttaṣil (required & connected)—must be read four or five ḥarakāt, not shorter.3. فَتَبَيَّنُوا أَن تُصِيبُوا* “فَتَبَيَّنُوا أَن” is again Mad Munfaṣil.* The mad and Hamzah are in separate words.* You may read four ḥarakāt; we keep it simple.4. بِجَهَالَةٍ فَتُصْبِحُوا* “جَهَالَةٍ فَتُصْبِحُوا” – Tanwīn + fā’ = Ikhfā’* “فَتُصْبِحُوا” = Mad Aṣlī, basic two counts.5. وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ فِيكُمْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ* “أَنَّ فِيكُمْ” – Idghām bi-ghunnah* “رَسُولَ اللَّهِ” – Lafẓ al-Jalālah is heavy (mufakhkham) because the preceding vowel is a fatḥah.6. وَزَيَّنَهُ* “وزَيَّنَهُ” – we learn a new rule here:* The هاء ḍamīr in “زَيَّنَهُ” or “حَبَّبَ إِلَيْكُمُ” is followed by a letter with ḥarakah.* When it carries a small wāw or yā’, it becomes Mad Ṣilah.* Ṣilah Qaṣīrah (short) if not followed by a hamzah = read two ḥarakāt* Ṣilah Ṭawīlah (long) if followed by a hamzah = read four or more ḥarakāt7. أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلرَّٰشِدُونَ* Mad Wājib Muttaṣil again in “أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ”8. فَضْلًا مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَنِعْمَةً* “فَضْلًا” – remember the ض sound is not a full stop and not a qalqalah. Extend the sound slightly, don’t cut it short.9. وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ* All clean: Mad Aṣlī, Idhār on “ḥā’” from throat letter.🧠 Key TakeawayThis set of āyāt has almost every major mad:* Mad Aṣlī (natural)* Mad Badal* Mad Munfaṣil (detached)* Mad Muttaṣil (connected)* Mad Ṣilah (connecting mad)* Ikhfā’, Idghām, Idhār, Iqlāb — you name it.Great portion to revise and consolidate your Tajweed knowledge.🗓️ What’s Next?Join me again this Thursday for Tafsir Thursday, where we’ll explore the meanings and practical lessons from these very āyāt. It’s not about academic depth — it’s about becoming more Qur’anic.Until then, keep practising, and may Allah beautify our tongues and hearts with the Qur’an.والسلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته This is a public episode.
