**Lesson 3: The Chapters of Tajwid**<\/strong><\/p>\n

**Chapter One**<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u25a0 **Points of Articulation of the Letters (Makharij al\u2011Huruf)**<\/strong><\/p>\n

**Point of articulation (Makharaj):** <\/strong>
\nIt is the place where the sound of a letter is produced from the organs of speech, or the position where the sound of a letter stops and thus becomes distinct from other letters.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to the well\u2011known opinion in the science of Tajwid, the number of articulation points of the letters is **seventeen**.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is a rule for identifying the articulation point of a letter: <\/strong>
\nThe letter is made **silent (sakin)** or **geminated (mushaddad)** and pronounced after a **hamzah**, then one listens carefully. The place where the sound stops when pronouncing the letter is its articulation point. <\/strong>
\nExamples: **\u0623\u0630 \u060c \u0623\u0628 \u060c \u0623\u062e**.<\/strong><\/p>\n

**Position (Mawdi\u2018):** <\/strong>
\nThis is the place that contains one articulation point or several articulation points for letters. In Tajwid there are **five positions**, which will be explained below.<\/strong><\/p>\n

—<\/strong><\/p>\n

**Letters**<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the Arabic language there are **28 letters**, each with a specific articulation point. A reciter of the Noble Qur\u2019an should learn them and give each letter its proper pronunciation so that every letter emerges from its correct articulation point.<\/strong><\/p>\n

These letters are divided into two types:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. **Consonant letters (static letters):** <\/strong>
\nThese have a specific articulation point and can begin words. They are called **letters**, and their number is **28**.<\/strong><\/p>\n

2. **Vowel letters:** <\/strong>
\nThese do not have a fixed articulation point and cannot begin words. They are called **letters resembling letters**, namely the **long vowels (letters of elongation)**. They are **three**, in addition to the vowel marks: **fatha, kasra, and damma**.<\/strong><\/p>\n

**Note:** <\/strong>
\nIt is important for the reciter of the Qur\u2019an to know the specific articulation points of the **28 letters**, the **three vowel letters**, and the **two nasal letters (nun and mim)**. Thus, the total becomes **33 sounds**, which will be explained, God willing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

—<\/strong><\/p>\n

**Articulation Points of the Letters**<\/strong><\/p>\n

We now clarify the following:<\/strong><\/p>\n

**Positions \u2013 Articulation points \u2013 Letters**<\/strong><\/p>\n

### The Positions<\/strong><\/p>\n

**1. The oral cavity (Al\u2011Jawf):** <\/strong>
\nHere the sounds of the vowel movements and the **long vowel letters** are produced.<\/strong><\/p>\n

**2. The throat (Al\u2011Halq):** <\/strong>
\nIt contains **three articulation points** from which **six letters** are produced, called **throat letters**:<\/strong><\/p>\n

– **Deepest part of the throat:** \u0621 \u060c \u0647 <\/strong>
\n– **Middle of the throat:** \u0639 \u060c \u062d <\/strong>
\n– **Nearest part of the throat:** \u063a \u060c \u062e<\/strong><\/p>\n

These six letters are called **the throat letters (Huruf Halqiyyah).**<\/strong><\/p>\n

**3. The tongue (Al\u2011Lisan):** <\/strong>
\nIt contains **ten articulation points** producing **eighteen letters**, as follows:<\/strong><\/p>\n

– **Back of the tongue:** \u0642 <\/strong>
\n– **Back of the tongue slightly forward:** \u0643 <\/strong>
\n– **Middle of the tongue:** \u062c \u060c \u0634 \u060c \u064a <\/strong>
\n– **Side of the tongue:** \u0636 (from the beginning of one side of the tongue to the end) <\/strong>
\n– **Side of the tongue:** \u0644 <\/strong>
\n– **Tip of the tongue:** \u0646 <\/strong>
\n– **Tip of the tongue:** \u0631 (between the articulation of nun and the upper front teeth)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The letters **\u0644 \u060c \u0646 \u060c \u0631** are called **the flowing letters (Al\u2011Huruf al\u2011Dhulaqiyyah).**<\/strong><\/p>\n

– **Tip of the tongue:** \u062a \u060c \u062f \u060c \u0637 <\/strong>
\nThese are called **the dental\u2011gum letters (Al\u2011Nita\u2018iyyah).**<\/strong><\/p>\n

– **Tip of the tongue:** \u0632 \u060c \u0633 \u060c \u0635 <\/strong>
\nThese are called **the sibilant letters (Al\u2011Asliyyah).**<\/strong><\/p>\n

– **Tip of the tongue:** \u062b \u060c \u0630 \u060c \u0638 <\/strong>
\nThese are called **the interdental letters (Al\u2011Lathawiyyah).**<\/strong><\/p>\n

**4. The lips (Al\u2011Shafatan):** <\/strong>
\nThis position contains **two articulation points** producing **four letters**:<\/strong><\/p>\n

– **Inner part of the lower lip with the upper teeth:** \u0641 <\/strong>
\n– **Between the two lips:** \u0628 \u060c \u0645 \u060c \u0648<\/strong><\/p>\n

**5. The nasal passage (Al\u2011Khayashum):** <\/strong>
\nIt contains **one articulation point** from which the nasal sound of **\u0646 and \u0645** (when doubled) is produced. This sound is called **ghunnah (nasalization).**<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
