Frequently Asked Questions

What are the Nun Sakinah and Tanween rulings?
Four tajweed rulings that govern how Nun Sakinah or Tanween is pronounced based on the next letter: Izhar (clear pronunciation before throat letters), Idgham (merging into the next letter), Iqlab (converting to a Meem sound before Ba), and Ikhfa (a nasalized sound between the two). Each ruling has its own specific set of letters.
How do I practice these rulings on Zayenha Quran?
The tool shows a real letter from the Quran preceding a Nun Sakinah or Tanween, and you choose the correct ruling from four options, with an explanation shown after each answer. You can pick a specific surah or juz, or practice across the whole Quran.
What is the difference between Ikhfa and Idgham?
Idgham is a full or partial merger of the Nun Sakinah into the next letter, usually becoming one doubled letter. Ikhfa is a middle sound between Izhar and Idgham: the Nun is pronounced with nasalization without fully merging into the next letter.
