Tajweed Rules in Surah At-Tin

1. Prolongation (Madd)

2. Qalqalah (Echoing Sound)

Found in the letters ق ط ب ج د when saakin.
Example: ( لقد خلقنا )”Qad khalaqna” – the qaaf bounces slightly when pronounced.

2. Rules of Noon Saakinah and Tanween

In Surah At-Tin, you will find some rules related to the noon sakinah (نْ) and tanween (ً ٍ ٌ).
Firstly, you will find the ikhfa’ rule in the word “Al-Insan” (الإنسان), where the noon sakinah is followed by one of the ikhfa’ letters. Therefore, dear reciter, you should hide the sound of the noon and not pronounce it clearly.

You will also find another rule of noon sakinah and tanween in the phrase “Ajran Ghayra” (أجر غير), where the tanween is followed by the letter ghayn (غ), which is one of the izhar letters. In this case, the tanween should be pronounced clearly.

3. Rules of Stopping (Waqf)

Stopping at the end of a verse changes the final vowel to a sukoon.
Example: “Al-hakeemeen” – pronounced with a sukoon on the final meem when stopping.
