Noorani Qaida Lesson 6 Harakat & Tanween Exercises for Quranic Fluency

The First Big Test: Can You Connect the Dots? 🧩

Welcome to Lesson 6. This is not just a new lesson; it’s a Celebration of what you’ve learned! Here, we combine the “Movements” (Harakat) from Lesson 4 with the “Ringtone” (Tanween) from Lesson 5.

Your Goal: To read complete words, not just letters. This is where your recitation starts to flow.

💡 The Formula: Letter + Movement = Sound.
Example: ( أَبَدًا ) = A (Fatha) + Ba (Fatha) + Dan (Tanween).

🧠 How to Read Like a Pro

Follow this 3-step magic formula to unlock any word:

👀 1

Identify

Look at the first letter. Is it Fatha, Kasra, or Damma? Say its sound immediately.

🔗 2

Connect

Read the second letter. Now, join it to the first one (e.g., ‘A’ + ‘ba’ = ‘Aba’) before moving on.

🗣️ 3

Complete

Add the final letter (often with Tanween). Say the whole word smoothly in one breath.

💡 Tips to Master These Exercises

1. The “Silent Alif” Rule (Ana – أَنَا) 🤫

Look at the word أَنَا. It has an Alif at the end with a small circle. In this specific word, do NOT stretch the Alif. Read it quickly as “Ana”, NOT “Anaaa”.

2. Heavy Letters with Kasra

In words like خُلِقَ, be careful! Don’t let the heavy ‘Kha’ affect the light ‘Lam’. Switch quickly: Heavy -> Light -> Heavy.

3. Don’t Mix Sounds

Keep Fatha clear (A), Kasra sharp (E), and Damma rounded (U). Don’t make a “middle sound” between them.

🎓 For Teachers: Teaching Methodology

1. Spelling vs. Reading (Hijjaa vs. Rawan)
Teach students to spell first: “Hamza Fatha A, Ba Fatha Ba -> Aba”. Then teach fluency: “Aba”. This builds mental connection.
2. The Circle of Sifr Mustadir (o)
Explain that the circle on the Alif in (أَنَا) means it is extra. It is written but not pronounced when continuing.

💬 Common Questions About Lesson 6

Clear answers to help you master the exercises.

Why is there a circle on the Alif in “Ana” (أَنَا)?

This symbol indicates a “Silent Letter” (Sifr Mustadir). In this specific word throughout the Quran, you should pronounce the Noon quickly and ignore the Alif completely. Read it as “Ana”, NOT “Anaaa”.

Should I read by spelling (Hijjaa) or directly (Rawan)?

Beginners: Start with spelling (e.g., “Hamza Fatha A, Ba Fatha Ba -> Aba”) to understand the structure.
Advanced: Once comfortable, practice reading directly (e.g., “Aba”) to build fluency and speed.

What does the small ‘Yaa’ in (طُوًی) mean?

This represents Alif Maqsura. In this specific case with Tanween (Fathatain), it acts as a “seat” or “chair” for the Tanween, just like a regular Alif. Pronounce the word as “Tuwan”.

Why is the word (أَحَدٌ) pronounced “Ahadun”?

Because it ends with Dammatain (Double Damma). The symbol ( ٌ ) adds an “Un” sound to the letter Dal.
Formula: Dal + Damma + Noon = Dun.

How do I stop on a word like (أَحَدٌ)?

Stopping Rule (Waqf): If you stop breathing at this word, you change the Tanween to a Sukoon. You read it as “Ahad”.
Continuing: If you connect it to the next word, you read “Ahadun…”.

Are these words from the Quran?

Yes! All examples in Lesson 6 are actual words found in the Holy Quran (like Surah Al-Ikhlas, Surah Taha, etc.). Practicing them here prepares you for real recitation.

You Are Reading Words Now! 🌟

Completing Lesson 6 is a massive milestone. You have moved from letters to full words. You are officially reading Arabic!

What’s Next? In Lesson 7, we will discover the “Standing Movements” (Vertical Harakat). These are special vowels that stretch the sound.
