Iqlab literally means to convert/flip something.
Technically: converting Nun Sakinah or Tanween into a hidden meem with ghunnah before the letter
Ba (ب).
Iqlab letter: Ba only (ب)
How to perform it:
- Convert noon into meem
- Partially hide the meem (lips together with slight opening)
- With ghunnah lasting 2 counts
Examples:
- "مِن بَعْدِ" → noon converts to meem with ghunnah
- "سَمِيعٌ بَصِيرٌ" → tanween converts to meem
Sign in Mushaf: small meem (ۢ) above the noon or tanween
Question: What is the Iqlab letter? What happens to Nun Sakinah before it?
Answer: Iqlab letter is Ba (ب) only. Noon is converted to a hidden meem with ghunnah
