If you want to beautify your reading of the Quran and present your prayers to Allah in the best way you can, do not delay this goal. Imaam Muhammad Ibn al-Jazari, may Allah have mercy upon him, who is a great scholar in Hadith and the Quran, mentioned in his famous poem about Tajweed, that the application of Tajweed rules is an absolute necessity and that the ones who do not apply these rules will be sinful. In this article, we talked about the characteristics of the Arabic Sun and Moon letters and their place in tajweed. Reading or not reading the Lam Al Tarif refers to some Tajweed rules that we will explain below. Note: In these mentioned rules, the fact that the letters Lam and Alif are not read in pronunciation does not mean that they will not be written! If the word is a word with a definite article, its spelling will definitely remain the same, but the letters will be hidden when read. Secondly, if any of the Sun letters other than the letter “nun (ن) ” comes after Lam Al Tarif (ال), which is the definite article, Idghaam Shamsi without Ghunnah occurs. When the letter “Noon” comes after the definite article Lam Al Tarif (ال), Idhgaam Shamsi occurs.Įxamples: وَالنُّورُ – وَالنَّاسُ 2- Idgham Shamsi without Ghunnah This type of Idghaam is valid only for the letter Noon (ن). The Idhgam Shamsi is divided into two groups. So this time, neither the letter “Alif” nor “Lam” is read. This rule is valid if the word is positioned alone.īut if another word comes before such a word, then the end of the other word is connected directly to the sun letter. If words starting with the sun letter after definite article (ال) are alone (as in the examples above), ل the letter Lam is silent. اَلطَّـالِبُ ⇨ the student Tajweed Rule: “Idgham Shamsi” The reason why we explained the subject of Nakirah and Ma’rifah is that this is one of the basic grammatical knowledge of definite and indefinite articles in Arabic, and in order for us to better understand where the definite article( ال) comes from when talking about the sun and moon letters Arabic rules. Its English equivalent is an example of nouns used with “the”. These words are prefixed with a definite article ( ال ).We can say that Ma’rifah is the opposite of Nakirah.


When the words that are Nakirah are said, it is not known what or who is being mentioned clearly. These terms are defined as definite and indefinite articles in English. One is called “Nakirah” and the other is “Ma’rifah”. There are two kinds of articles in Arabic. Courses that match your interest: Types of Articles in Arabic
