Madd Lazim Kalimi — Muthaqqal & Mukhaffaf
Madd Lazim Kalimi: Madd letter meets original sukoon in one word.
"Lazim" because sukoon is constant (in wasl and waqf). "Kalimi" because it's in a word (not a single letter).
Duration: 6 counts (consensus).
(1) Muthaqqal (Heavy): Sukoon is doubled (with shaddah).
Examples: الضَّالِّينَ، الْحَاقَّةُ، الطَّامَّةُ، الصَّاخَّةُ، تَأْمُرُونِّي
(2) Mukhaffaf (Light): Sukoon is original without shaddah.
Only word in Qur'an: "آلْآنَ" — in two places only:
• Yunus 51: آلْآنَ وَقَدْ عَصَيْتَ
• Yunus 91: آلْآنَ وَقَدْ كُنْتُمْ
Origin: "Al-Aana" with interrogative hamza prefix → Alif becomes Madd letter, Lam stays sukoon.
