The idea

Before a single letter — bāʾ (ب) — the silent nūn or tanwīn flips into a hidden mīm, held with a hum, the lips not quite closing. The muṣḥaf even marks it for you with a small mīm above the nūn. One letter, one rule.

Iqlāb

إِقْلَاب
The rule
Nūn sākinah / tanwīn before ب flips to a hidden م with ghunnah.
How it sounds
The n becomes a soft m, hidden before the b, held with a hum.
How often
583 occurrences across the Ḥafṣ ʿan ʿĀṣim text of the Qurʾān — mechanically derived from the Uthmani marks, not hand-counted.

Examples in the Qurʾān

  • صُمٌّۢ بُكْمٌ عُمْىٌ فَهُمْ لَا يَرْجِعُونَ

    Qurʾān 2:18

  • ثُمَّ عَفَوْنَا عَنكُم مِّنۢ بَعْدِ ذَٰلِكَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ

    Qurʾān 2:52

  • ثُمَّ بَعَثْنَٰكُم مِّنۢ بَعْدِ مَوْتِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ

    Qurʾān 2:56

Rule spans are computed from the Uthmani combining marks on the quran-uthmani text (Tanzil.net) in the recitation of Ḥafṣ ʿan ʿĀṣim. Where to stop (waqf) is interpretive and is taught, never auto-asserted. How we count →
