Lesson 23 : The Rules of Madd
Madd means to prolong the sound of a vowel. The minimum prolongation of a vowel is to the measure of two vowels (2 counts), which is equal to the measure of one alif.
There are two basic rules of Natural Madd
Rule # 1 :
If you see long fatha, long Kasra or long Dhamma any where in the Quran you must prolong the vowel sound for two counts.
Example :
| اٰنِيَةٍ | اٰوٰى | اٰمَنَ |
| طَغٰى | مٰلِكِ | ذٰلِكَ |
|
ج
|
ث
|
ت
|
ب
|
ا
|
ج |
ث |
ت |
ب |
ا |
For more practice please see Lesson 16, Lesson 18 and Lesson 20
If you see
a. Alif with no sign comes after Fathah ( بَا )( See Lesson 17 )
b. Ya Saakin comes after Kasrh ( اِىْ ) ( See Lesson 19 )
c. Wa Saakin comes after Dhammah ( اُوْ) ( See Lesson 21 )
any where in the Quran
you must prolong the vowel sound for two counts.
Example :
| كَانَ | قَالَ | عَادٍ |
| حَاسِدٍ | نَارًا | مَالاً |
| اَلِيْمٍ | فِيْهِ | اِيْلٰفِ |
| خَبِيْرٌ | بَصِيْرًا | اَثِيْمٍ |
| رَضُوْ | دٰوُوْدُ | جُوْعٍ |
| رَسُوْلٍ | ثُبُوْرًا | اَعُوْذُ |
| وُجُوْهٌ | قُعُوْدٌ | شُهُوْدٌ |
