Qalaqalah

QALQALA

The letters of qalqalah are in the group

 If we attempt to say one of these five qalqalah letters with a sukoon, we would find that the articulation point closes completely and that it causes an annoyance in the articulation mechanism.  This is due to the imprisonment of the sound behind the articulation point.

A very important note: The qalqalah does not resemble a fat-h or a dhamma or a kasrah.  It does not follow the vowel of the preceding letter, nor the following letter.  

The Qalqalah is divided into two classes: the lesser and greater qalqalah:

The Lesser Qalqalah  : This 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. In this case, we say the qalqalah, and immediately proceed to the next letter or word. i.e. 

The Greater Qalqalah : This happens when the qalqalah is the last letter of a word, and we are stopping on that word.  For example: .

The difference between the two divisions is that there is more of a ring to the greater qalqalah because we are stopping on it than there is on the lesser qalqalah.




Homework:

* Listen from ayah 1 till ayah 25 of Surah Al-Baqarah from the beginning till minute 10:42
*Read half a page every day and record them in the reading log

3- THE SIDE OF THE TONGUE There are two letters that use the side of the tongue for articulation.   They do not use the same part of the side of the tongue, rather the  uses the posterior two thirds of the side (or edge) of the tongue, and the   uses the anterior one third (closest to the mouth) portion of the side of the tongue. THE LETTER  This letter is articulated from the one or both sides of the tongue and from the molars and the gum area next to the molars.  The posterior two thirds of the side of the tongue is used for this letter.  This letter can be articulated from one side (right or left) of the tongue alone, or from both sides of the tongue simultaneously.    has the characteristic of compression of the sound, as well as tafkheem (heaviness), so the deep part of the tongue  raises up when pronouncing it and compresses the sound at the same time.

ICCH Halaqa- Articulation points (Al Gawf)

PLACES OF ARTICULATION INTRODUCTION TO ARTICULATION POINTS OF THE ARABIC LETTERS The articulation point of a letter is the place the letter is emitted, meaning a sound that comes out of the mouth relying on a specific place of articulation or an approximate one.  Using the correct articulation point of a letter is necessary to utter the letter correctly, and of course this is even more important when reciting the book of Allah, the Holy Qur’an.  Almost all the articulation points in Arabic are specific places, but there are some that have a general area of articulation.  There are ways for you to see what articulation point YOU are using for a letter (not necessarily the correct one), so that you can compare what you are using to the correct way of articulating a letter: 1.      Pronounce the letter with a shaddah; in other words, double the letter.  2.      Pronounce the letter with no vowel and p...
