Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh!
We’re almost at the end of Surah al-Wāqiʿah and Term 2 of 2025. Apologies for missing last week’s episode—I got caught up with work. But alhamdulillah, we’re back to wrap up the surah over the next two weeks, inshaAllah.
📖 Ayat of the Week
This week we’re covering Surah al-Wāqiʿah, Ayat 83 to 87.
🧠 Tajwīd Highlights
* Long Madd
Anytime you see a wavy line ( ~ ) over an alif or small wāw/ya:
→ Read 4 harakāt (unless it’s followed by a shaddah/sukūn → read 6).
* Ikhfāʾ Ḥaqīqī
Noon sākin or tanwīn meeting any of the 15 letters of ikhfāʾ.
Example:
→ مِنكُم – hide the n sound while shaping your mouth for the kāf
* Idghām (With & Without Ghunnah)
* Yarmalūn letters = merge the noon/tanwīn.
* With ghunnah: yā, mīm, nūn, wāw
* Without ghunnah: rā, lām
* Qalqalah Letters (ق ط ب ج د)
Bounce slightly when these letters are sakin, like in أَقْرَبُ or تُكَذِّبُونَ
* Mīm Sākin Rules
* Meets bā or another mīm = ghunnah
* Meets other letters = iẓhār (clear)
📝 Recitation Practice Tip
Don’t rush through all the ayat. Take one ayah at a time:
* Break it into 2-3 parts
* Repeat slowly until it’s smooth and fluent
* Join all parts once fluent
Example breakdown:
→ فَلَوْلَا إِذَا بَلَغَتِ الْحُلْقُومَ
Break down into:
* Falawla
* Iza
* Balaghatil hulqum
Then build fluency step by step.
📅 What’s Next?
We’ll continue with the final section of Surah al-Wāqiʿah next week, inshaAllah.
And remember:
✅ Tajwīd = correctness
✅ Fluency = confidence
✅ Repetition = mastery
