A letter with sukūn carries no vowel — you land on it closed, but you still pronounce it. A letter with shadda is pronounced twice: a sākin one leaning into a voiced one. These two states are the triggers for nearly every contact rule ahead, so we drill spotting them first.
The idea
A letter with sukūn carries no vowel — you land on it closed, but you still pronounce it. A letter with shadda is pronounced twice: a sākin one leaning into a voiced one. These two states are the triggers for nearly every contact rule ahead, so we drill spotting them first.
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 →
