The Ultimate Test: Can You Mix the Rules? 🧪
Welcome to Lesson 9. This is the most exciting part of Noorani Qaida so far! You are no longer just practicing sounds; you are reading real Quranic words.
In this lesson, we mix everything: Tanween (The Ring), Madd (The Stretch), and Lin (The Softness). Plus, we will meet a new friend: The Wave (~) which means “Super Stretch”!
Your goal is to switch smoothly between short vowels (1 count), natural stretch (2 counts), and long stretch (4 counts) without stumbling.
Let’s prove your mastery! 👇
‘Aamana
‘Aawa
‘Aaniyatin

🧬 New Rule: The “Wave” (Madd Muttasil)
What happens when a Madd Letter meets a Hamza?
Madd Letter + Hamza = Extra Stretch
In this lesson, you will see words like ( جَآءَ ). Notice the wave symbol (~) on top?
This happens because a Hamza (ء) comes directly after a Madd letter in the same word.
💡 Golden Tips for Lesson 9
1. Spot the Hamza! 👁️
If you see a Hamza (ء) after an Alif, Waw, or Ya, get ready to STRETCH. Don’t treat it like a normal 2-count Madd.
2. The “Tanween” Brake 🛑
When stopping on a word with Tanween (like Khawfin), we usually ignore the Tanween sound. But if you are continuing, you MUST pronounce the ‘N’ sound clearly: Khawfin…
3. Don’t Bounce the Lin
When reading Lin words like Bayt, keep the sound smooth. Don’t let it bounce (Qalqalah) or cut off abruptly.

💬 Common Questions About Lesson 9
Master the tricky rules of Tanween, Madd, and Lin.
How do I read words with both Madd and Tanween?
Break it down! First, stretch the Madd letter (2 counts). Then, pronounce the Tanween (N sound) clearly.
Example: عَـذَابٌ = ‘A-thaaa (stretch) – bun (ring).
What does the wave symbol (~) mean?
This symbol indicates Madd Zaid (Extra Stretch). It appears when a Madd letter meets a Hamza. You must stretch the sound for 4 to 5 counts (double the normal stretch). Example: جَآءَ.
Why is the word (أَنَا) tricky in this lesson?
Because of the Silent Alif rule. Even though you see an Alif at the end, the small circle tells you NOT to stretch it when continuing. Read it short: “Ana”, not “Anaaa”.
How do I know if (و) is a Madd or Lin letter?
Look at the vowel before it:
If it has Damma (ـُ و), it’s Madd (Stretch: “uu”).
If it has Fatha (ـَ و), it’s Lin (Soft: “au”).
What is the small Ya in words like (بِهِۦ)?
This is Madd Silah Sagheera. It connects the pronoun “Hi” with a long “ee” sound (2 counts) if you don’t stop. Read it as “Bi-hiii”.
Is (خَيْرٌ) read with a stretch?
No. The Ya here is a Lin letter (preceded by Fatha). Pronounce it softly like “Khay” (as in ‘Hay’), then add the Tanween: “Khay-run”. Do not stretch it like “Khaaa-run”.
Why do some words end with Alif but have Tanween (ـً)?
This happens with Fathatain (Double Fatha). The Alif is usually silent when you continue reading (you just say the ‘an’ sound). But if you STOP, you drop the ‘n’ and pronounce the Alif as a stretch (Madd Iwad).
