Tajweed Breakdown al-Waqi'ah 83 - 87

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:

1. Break it into 2-3 parts

2. Repeat slowly until it’s smooth and fluent

3. 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
