Vowels in Qaida Nooraniyah: Definitions and Examples

The Noorani Qaida is one of the most important means of learning and reciting the Holy Quran in a correct and beautiful way. One of the most prominent elements that make up this rule is the Madoud, which is considered one of the basic foundations of correct recitation and sound Tajweed. Madoud is a phonetic extension given to some letters in the Holy Quran, which is accompanied by movements that indicate the length of the letter and the strength of the extension. Madoud is used to emphasize the beauty of recitation and Tajweed, and helps achieve the desired sound effect in the Quranic verses, as Madoud is considered one of the most important elements of the Noorani Qaida, and gives Quranic recitation a special character and unique beauty. When the Holy Quran is recited in a correct and perfect way, the listener feels tranquility and faith, and the verses receive their full right of linguistic and phonetic miracle.

What are long and soft letters?

The long vowels in the Nooraniyya rule are represented by the long and soft letters. Here is the definition of the long and soft letters: The long vowels are three letters: alif, waw, and ya. They are called long vowels because they are extended when pronounced.

Types of vowels:

Natural vowels:

• The letter alif if it is preceded by an open letter.
• The letter waw if it is preceded by a damma.
• The letter Yaa if it is preceded by a kasra.

Sub-vowels:

• The letter waw if it is preceded by a sukoon and the letter after it is a damma.
• The letter Yaa if it is preceded by a sukoon and the letter after it is kasra.

Soft letters:

They are two letters: Ya and Waw, and they are called soft letters because they are pronounced softly when they are spoken .

Types of soft letters:

The silent soft letter:

• The letter Yaa if it is quiescent and what precedes it is open.
• The letter waw if it is quiescent and what precedes it is open.
• The moving soft letter:

How do I know the letter of leen? Why are the long vowels called long vowels and leen?

To identify the soft letter, you must follow the following steps:

Determine whether the letter is a consonant or a vowel:

• Consonant : is a letter that is not pronounced with a vowel.
• Vowel : is the letter that is pronounced with a vowel.

Determine whether the letter is a Ya or a Waw:

• If the letter is a silent Ya or Waw, this indicates that it is a soft letter.
• If the letter is a moving yaa or waw, this does not necessarily indicate that it is a soft letter.

Determine whether the letter before the letter is open or not:

• If the letter before the letter is open, this indicates that the letter is soft.
• If the letter before the letter is damma or kasra, this does not necessarily indicate that the letter is soft.

Make sure the letter is not a vowel:

If the letter is a long vowel, this indicates that it is not a soft letter.

Examples: The letter “ya” in the word “khair” is a soft letter:

• Still.
• The one before it is open.
• It is not a long vowel.

The letter “ya” in the word “sale” is not a soft letter:

• Animated.
• The one before it is open.
• It is not a long vowel.

The letter waw in the word (Qaws) is a soft letter:

• The one before it is open.
• It is not a long vowel.

The letter waw in the word (wujd) is not a soft letter:

• Animated.
• The letter before it is closed.
• It is not a long vowel.

What are the soft vowels?

The soft long vowels are:

• The silent waw preceded by a fatha: such as (qawl)
• The silent Yaa preceded by a fatha: such as (said)

The soft long vowels are called by this name for two reasons:

• Because it is extended with a short extension (two movements) like the natural long vowels.
• Because it is pronounced in a soft and easy way.

Soft long vowels differ from natural long vowels in:

Audio output:

• Natural long vowels: They come from the cavity.

Soft long vowels:

• Waw: It comes out from the lips.
• Ya: It comes out from the middle of the tongue.

The tide:

• Natural long vowels: They are extended with a long vowel (three or five vowels).
• Soft long vowels: They are extended with a short extension (two movements).

Examples of soft long vowels in the Holy Quran:

Waw :

• And he said: Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 104
• And he was advised: Surat Al-Baqarah, verse 180

Ya :

• It was said: Surat Al-Baqarah, verse 55
• After: Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 28

Rules to help you identify soft letters

There are some rules that can help you determine whether a particular letter is a linun or not. Let's take a look at these rules:

• Fatha : If the vowel has a fatha, it is usually a soft letter. For example, in the word (water), the alif has a fatha and is a soft letter.

• Kasra : If the vowel has a kasra, it is usually a soft letter. For example, in the word (مُؤَمِنْ), the waw has a kasra and is a soft letter.

• Damma : If the vowel has a damma, it is usually not a soft letter. For example, in the word (بيت), the letter ya has a damma and is not a soft letter.

• Sukun : If the vowel carries a sukun, it is usually a soft letter. For example, in the word (مُستَعِدّ), the ya carries a sukun and is a soft letter.

Here are some examples to illustrate how to identify the soft letter in words:

• The word (qalam): The letter “lam” is the soft letter in this word, because it is followed by a vowel (the letter “mim”) and not by any other letter.
• The word (house): The letter “ya” is the soft letter in this word, because it is followed by a vowel (ta) and not by any other letter.
• The word (water): Alif is the soft letter in this word, because it is followed by a vowel (hamza) and not by any other letter.
• The word (sky): Alif is the soft letter in this word, because it is followed by a vowel (hamza) and then another vowel (mim).
• Word (word): Alif is the soft letter in this word, because it is followed by a vowel (kaf) and not by any other letter.

Why are long vowels called long vowels and soft vowels?

Vowels are called long vowels and soft vowels for several reasons:

The tide :

• These letters are called (vowel letters) because they are extended when pronounced.
• These letters are extended with a natural extension or a secondary extension.
• Natural extension : is extending the letter by two vowels.
• Sub-prolongation : is prolonging the letter by one vowel.

Softness :
