3. Iqlaab
Iqlaab is a rule of Tajweed, the science of correct Quranic recitation. The term literally means "to convert" or "to turn over," and it refers to the process of converting the sound of a silent noon (نْ) or tanween into a light meem (م) sound.
The rule of Iqlaab
The rule is applied when a noon saakinah (a silent noon, نْ) or a tanween (the sound of noon at the end of a word, ـًـٍـٌ) is followed by the single letter of Iqlaab: baa (ب).
The noon or tanween sound is not pronounced as written.
Instead, it is converted into a meem (م) sound.
This is accompanied by a nasal sound, known as ghunnah, that is held for two beats.
HOW DO YOU IDENTIFY AL-IQLAB?
Examples of Iqlaab
This rule can occur within a single word or across two separate words.
Within one word
أَنبِئْهُم (an-bi'hum) becomes أَمْبِئْهُم (am-bi'hum).
لَيُنْبَذَنَّ (layun-bazanna) becomes لَيُمْبَذَنَّ (layum-bazanna).
Across two words
مِن بَعْدِ (min baʿdi) becomes مِمْ بَعْدِ (mim baʿdi).
عَلِيمٌ بِذَاتِ (ʿaleemun bi-dhaati) becomes عَلِيمُمْ بِذَاتِ (ʿaleemum bi-dhaati).
Ikhfaa is an Arabic word meaning "concealment" or "hiding" and is a rule in the field of Tajweed for reciting the Quran. It describes a specific way of pronouncing the sounds of noon Sakinah (\(\)) or tanween (\(\)) by partially hiding the "n" sound while maintaining a nasal sound (ghunnah) for a duration of two counts. This rule is applied when the noon or tanween is followed by one of 15 specific letters
to apply the ikhfaa rule:
How it works
Pronunciation: The sound of the 'n' is concealed, blending into the next letter with a nasal sound (ghunnah).
Blending: It is a middle-ground between full pronunciation (izhar) and complete merging (idgham).
Duration: The ghunnah is typically held for two counts.
Key point: The tongue does not fully touch the hard palate when producing the sound; it remains slightly ba
