| How to Waqf (Stopping) |
When a person reads the Quran and is out of breath then he
has to stop. The way to read the last word when it stops is different from when
it is connected. This lesson explains how to stop correctly, either at the end
of a verse or in the middle when pausing to take breath.
There are following rules of stopping at the end of words:
● Words
Ending with Saakin letter or with Madd letter
If a stop is made on a saakin letter, it stays the same and is pronounced
the same. However, if the last word is a qalqalah letter then it will be
read with an echoing sound or qalqalah.
كُوِّرَتْ
- لَمْ يُوْلَدْ
If a stop is made on a letter bearing a madd letter, it stays the same and
is pronounced the same, the madd letter is elongated to 2 harakah.
