Letters (ق ط ض)

  • There are 28 letters in the Holy Quran.
  • In order to recite the Quran properly, it is important to pronounce letters according to the pronunciation rules, paying attention to vowel quality.
  • The correct pronunciation of the letters must be learned from a master recite.
  • لا is not a letter but a combination of Lam and Alif.
  • From these letters, 7 are (as commonly known) thick sounded (Emphatic consonants) written in red : (خ ص ض ط ظ غ ق) However, these letters are letters of isti’laa. That means these letters should be pronounced with a full mouth. All other letters should be pronounced with half mouth, except the letter of ( ر  ) raa which has unique conditions in its pronunciations. We will cover conditions of raa in Tajweed Lessons inshAllah.
  • 3 are lisp sounded letters ( ث ذ ظ)
