Lesson 43 : Nuun Sakin and Tanween
A noon saakin (
) and tanween are considered the same because the sound of a tanween sounds just like a noon saakin. Because of this similarity, the two take the same rules
Example :
| Tanween(Nunnation) |
|
Example | |||||
 |
an | أَنْ | an | بً | ban | ﺑَﻦْ | ban |
 |
un | أُنْ | un | بٌ | bun | ﺑُﻦْ | bun |

ghunnah is pronounced, 2 counts
(this ghunnah is slight, not too deep, unlike the idghaam and
or
)
Method for pronouncing Ikhfaa
When an ikhfaa occurs, the makhraj of the
or tanween is ignored and instead it is pronounced at or near the makhraj of the letter of ikhfaa. Therefore, the reader should make his tongue distant from the makhraj of the
and close to the makhraj of the letter of ikhfaa during ghunnah,
ready to pronounce the letter of Ikhfaa.
NOTE
a. ghunnah can be pronounced as thick or thin depending on whether a tafkheem/thick or Tarqeeq/thin letter follows.
b. or tanween followed by thick letter = thick ghunnah
c. or tanween followed by thin letter = thin ghunnah
d. To pronounce the ghunnah thick, the mouth should be positioned as a dome shape, and then ready to pronounce the thick letter
