Assalamu Alaykum Brothers,

 

Mashallah I would like to congratulate you for the hard work and brilliant work produced, by the permission of Allah (swt).

 

I have questions on: Sheikh Basfar + Abdul Bari + Suggestion + Qalqalah + Letter Ha + Ash-Shaatibiyyah.....

 

1) First of All, I know that so far you have only mentioned Abdullah Basfar and Sheikh Husary... but are there any other recitors (Hafs an Asim by way of Shatibiyyah) that are just as good (other than Huthaify) with complete Qur'an recordings (CD quality, mp3 if possible) available on the internet ?

 

2) Third of all, I was wondering whether it was possible for you to add audio examples of each of the rules as it becomes much easier to learn/understand especially for those who do not have immediate access to a good teacher. In particular, for Hafs an Asim by way of Shatibiyyah.

 

3) Fourth of All, in terms of Qalqalah. I know, within your notes, you mentioned that qalqalah is of two categories... the lesser and the greater, and you mentioned that the lesser occurs when  the qalqalah in is the middle of a word, or at the end of a word, and we are not stopping on that word. The greater occurs when the qalqalah is the last letter of a word, and we are stopping on that word. 

 

But what about a situation where the qalqalah is at the end of a word and is sakin (not with a tashdeed) and we DO stop on that word... ie the end of verse 19 in surah inshiqaq ( ... tabaq ). So when you stop on 'tabaq' will be pronounce it like the lesser or the greator.. or will it be another category altogether !? Obviously it can't be pronounced like 'Tab' in surah lahab which has a tashdeed..... then how do we pronounce it ?

 

Also, I was originally taught that it contains three levels of intensity, a sukoon in the middle of a word, a sukoon at the end of a word, and a shaddah at the end of a word.... Could you please clarify this for me .

 

4) I would like to ask you about the letter 'ha' which seems to be part of the hams and therefore one shaikh when reciting this in surah fatihah verse 5 ( Ihh-di nasiratal mustaqeem ), kind of like enforces the 'ha' and slows down on it before pronouncing the daal after the ha. But why doesn't he pronounce the 'ha' in the same manner when it is the last letter of a word... I mean shouldn't this letter ( ha ) still have the same characteristics and therefore be pronounced in the same way whether in the middle of a word or at the end..  so for example the word 'Raajifah' at the end of verse 6 in surah 'Naazi'aat'. I know that it is actually a 'taa marbutah', but since stopping on it.. it is pronounced like a haa instead of a taa.... so why does the sheikh  recite it much quicker and with less emphasis then the haa in surah fatihah !?

 

6) Finally, I know in arabic you have written Hafs an Asim min Tareeqi Ash-Shatibiyyah, but should it not be Hafs an Asim min Tareeqati Ash-Shaatibiyaah ? I mean shouldn't there be a taa marbootah at the end of Tareeq ? Much Appreciated. 

Assalamu Alaykum,

 

Answer

Wa alaikum assalaam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,

Jazakum Allahu khairan for your kind remarks and as you so correctly indicated, anything we have done that is good, is from Allah; and any mistakes we make are from ourselves. 

Just a note to the visitors to the site, it is always better to send multiple questions separately as individual questions and then some of them insha' Allah will most likely be answered in a timely manner.  Multiple questions are longer and take more time to answer and therefore put off to a time when we have more time to research if necessary, and then answer all of them.  Of course we hold no blame on the questioner here, may Allah reward them with khair, for there was no way of them knowing our preference of individual questions.

1.  Of course there are other reciters that are good, but we chose the best with ijaazah, that are easily available whether one listens or downloads from the Internet or chooses to buy the sets of recitation.

2.  That is the best, and we certainly would like to do it for all the rules, but we will have to wait until our time is freed up a bit to be able to undertake that task.

3.  The qalqalah sughra and kubra are natural out comings of the situation.  If we are continuing after the qalqalah, it will not be as noticeable as when we stop on a word with the last letter being a qalqalah letter.  We do not have to think about emphasizing it though when we stop on a word ending with a qalqalah. The difference between a qalqalah letter with a shaddah on it and that without it is that the mechanism of the shaddah (collision then separation of the parts of the articulation point) causes the letter to come out stronger, but the qalqalah which is only on the saakin part of the shaddah is the same with or without the shaddah.  

There are some books that state three levels for the qalqalah, but three levels are not mentioned by the early scholars of tajweed.  For example Imam Ibn Al-Jazaree mentions only two in his prose on tajweed:

He says:

And make clear the qalqalah when it is saakin

And if it is when stopping it is clearer

4  The characteristic that has running of the sound in the  is  , there is also running of the breath () and ideally this running of sound and breath is going to be equal for all  saakinat, but shuyookh are human and it may be they are short of breath at the end of an aayah, or the sound was there but just didn’t come out in the recording.  We always suggest that the students of the Qur’an listen to what is often called al-mujawwad recordings and not the taraweeh recordings. 

5.  The word  is somewhat unique in that it can be used as masculine or feminine in gender.  There are other words like this in the Arabic language.  It is then correct to use the feminine description after it.  The scholars of tajweed refer to   as feminine in the description that follows it, such as in:  and that is how it is written on ijaazah when one gets an ijaazah in the recitation of Hafs ‘an ‘Aasim min tareeq ash-Shatibiyyah.   

You are very welcome.

Wa assalaam alaikum wa rahmatullah.

Tajweed Q&A 13

Question

As Salam Alikum:

I know the definition of Rikhawa is the "running on of the sound with the letter due to the weakness in the reliance of the articulation point". I understand this definition well but the definition of the name Rikhawa means softness. How does the definition softness applies to the running of the sound. In other words, why is it called softness?

Thank you so much

Answer

Wa alaikum assalaam wa rahmatu Allahi wa barakatuh.

The Arabic language scholars assigned names of characteristics to the Arabic letters many hundreds of years ago, but the name of is very suited for the characteristic of running on of the sound.

When there is a weakness of the reliance on an articulation point, the letter then is weak in that aspect. The running of sound in the letters of is a soft sound and a denotes a weakness in the letter, so it is appropriate.

You are most welcome.

Tajweed Q&A 12

Question

Dear Brother,

I just learned that there are several terminologies for the letter haa':

1 Haa Kinayah or Haa Dhamir

2 Haa Kalimah

3 Haa ta'nith

4 Haa Sakta

I wish to know what is the explanation for this type of haa and how is the way to pronounce words with such occurrence especially in Surah Al-Haqqah.

jazakallah.

Answer

Assalaam alaikum.

The pronoun called or is attached to a word and means his, or to him, depending on its placement. This has a place in Arabic grammar and a clear meaning. The is pronounced when continuing and stopping, and under certain circumstances, the dhammah or kasrah on the is lengthened. Please see click here and here for more explanation on when it is lengthened. Examples are: , .

We are not aware of the existence of the term “ha’ al-kalimah”, could not find a reference to it in Arabic language books, and consulted experts in the Arabic language who are also unaware of it. The only explanation would be any in a word, but it would have no significance as far as a term.

The female called is found on the end of nouns only and usually demonstrates a female gender in the word. It looks like or . When stopping on a noun ending with a written we stop with a saakinah. When reading the noun ending with in continuum with the next word, we pronounce it as the letter with the accompanying vowel. Examples are the words: , and .

The is something the Arabs used for emphasis and/or to show the vowel on the last word of the original word. It is an extra saakinah, not part of the original make up attached to a word and has no grammatical significance. It is saakinah both when stopping and continuing for the recitation of Hafs ‘an ‘Aasim. There is a voweled letter before the , either with the original voweling or with a incidental voweling because of two saakin letters meeting. In the several cases in surah Al-Haaqqah, (aayaat 19, 20, 25, 26, 28, and 29) such as the word: , the possessive on the end of the original word acquires a fathah to rid of two saakinah letters meeting.

Tajweed Q&A 11

Question

Assalamu Aleikum

In your answer of question number 251104, you wrote that the second alif in verse 44 of surat fussilat should be read with tashîl, meaning with an "easing" so that it is between a hamzah and an alif. However I am still confused regarding the way it is read. Thus I listened to three different recitations of that particular alif, and I had the impression that the three Qaris read that alif as the female letter "ha" (as if there was a sukoon on the "ha"). Although I could be wrong, would you please explain how that word should be correctly pronounced? How should I read it with tashîl?

Wa salamu alaikum

Answer

Wa alaikum assalaam wa rahmatu Allahi wa barakatuh.

It is not easy to explain the sound in words, but the is not a and it would be incorrect to pronounce it with a . Think of it instead of a flat hamzah. The articulation point of the hamzah (which is the same as the ) is used less in to a point where it is not distinguishable as a clear hamzah, but instead in between a hamzah and an alif. When pronouncing you have to weaken the hamzah. It may be beneficial for you to listen to the of another word such as the allowed of the word in aayah 51 and 91 of surah Yunus. Please click here to listen to it read with .

Tajweed Q&A 10

Question

Assalamu Alaikum brother,

What does it take to be able to read the Qur'an like As-Shuraim or any of these blessed beautiful reciters?? Tell what I must study, and recommend any books in particular. JazakAllahu khair

Answer

Wa alaikum assalaam wa rahmatu Allahi wa barakatuh.

May we suggest that you set your goals to the highest goal for Qur’an recitation? That goal is reciting the Qur’an as the Prophet Muhammed, , did. This isn’t to detract from the recitation of any of the well known qurraa’, may Allah reward them all, but if we put our goal as reading as the Prophet did, the steps to take are clearer and the goal measurable. To achieve this goal, you need to find a good teacher of the Qur’an, preferably one who has an ijaazah to listen and correct your recitation. You need to study the tajweed rules, and apply them to your recitation. The tajweed books recommended by this site are the books shown at www.tajweedbooks.com . These are not the only tajweed books available in English but they cover the rules in the same way as this site. As you learn the tajweed rules and apply them to your reading, you should be memorizing the Qur’an. Once you have perfected your recitation with the correct rules and memorized the Qur’an, you need to seek out a teacher with an ijaazah, which is someone with an authentic confirmed chain of recitation going back to the Prophet, . You should try and find the highest level of chain (lowest number of links between your teacher and the Prophet, ), with strong masters of recitation throughout the chain. We ask Allah to grant you this high achievement and make you of “ahl Al-Qur’an.”

Wa iyyaakum wa-l-muslimeen.
