Lesson 7: Double Consonant (Tashdīd) & Wajib Ghunnah

Learn to read doubled consonants (Mushaddadah). A letter with a Tashdīd (ّ) is read twice: first connecting with the preceding letter, then with its own vowel. Nūn and Mīm with Tashdīd must have a 2-count Ghunnah.

Rules for this lesson

• Wajib Ghunnah:Nūn (نّ) and Mīm (مّ) with Tashdīd must be nasalized and held for 2 counts.

• Mushaddadah Echo (Qalqalah):When Qalqalah letters carry a Tashdīd, hold the connection firmly before releasing with a bounce.

Wajib Ghunnah & Nose-Block Test

Nūn (نّ) and Mīm (مّ) with Tashdīd carry a compulsory **2-count nasal hold (Ghunnah)**. *Try pinching your nose: if the sound doesn't cut off completely, your Ghunnah is incorrect!*

🗣️

Qalqalah with Tashdīd

When any Qalqalah letter (**ق, ط, ب, ج, د**) carries a Tashdīd (e.g. تَبَّ or حَقَّ), you must hold the connection with **extra stress and force** before releasing the bouncing sound.

🛑

Merging & Stopping (Waqf)

Skip any silent letter (no diacritic) directly before a Tashdīd letter. Also, if you stop (*Waqf*) on a word ending with a Tashdīd, **the doubled stress and hold must still be maintained** even as the vowel goes silent.
