This slideshow covers the topic of noon saakin and tanween and can be used to assess the student's knowledge of all four rules. Please recite a fateha for my father, Syed Abbas Mosavi.

2. Noon saakin or tanween is followed by any of the Huroof Halaqee,
meaning the six letters that are pronounced from the throat, izhar will
take place. Izhar means to pronounce the “N” sound of the noon saakin
or tanween WITHOUT stretching it.

3. If there is a letter BAA after the Noon Saakin or Tanween, Iqlaab will take place.
Iqlaab means to change the sound of a Noon Saakin or tanween (“N” sound)
into a meem. The sound will also be stretched into a Ghunna.

4. If after the Noon Saakin or Tanween any of the letters of ‫يرملون‬appear,
idghaam will be done. Idghaam means to combine the “N” sound of the Noon
or tanween with the following letter. In four letters, ‫يومن‬
( Yaa, Waaw, Meem,
Noon) Idghaam will be WITH Ghunna. In the two letters, ‫ر‬ ‫ل‬
( Laam and Raa),
Idghaam will be without Ghunna.

5. Whenever any of these fifteen letters appear after Noon Saakin or Tanween,
ikhfa will be done. Ikhfa means to slightly “hide” the “N” sound of the Noon
Saakin and Tanween, and lengthen it slightly.
