Izhar Halqi — Definition & Letters
Izhar literally means clarity and clearness.
Technically: pronouncing each letter from its articulation point without any ghunnah (nasal sound) in the displayed letter.
Called Halqi because its letters come from the throat (halq). The six letters are:
ء (Hamza), ه (Ha), ع (Ain), ح (Ha), غ (Ghain), خ (Kha)
Example: "مَنْ آمَنَ" — noon sakinah before hamza → Izhar Halqi
