Day 21: 30 Days Excellence Challenge

Tajweed Rule of the Day:
Stopping at a Madd Letter:
When stopping at a word that ends with a Madd letter (Alif, Waaw, or Yaa), elongate the Madd for 2 harakat (counts). Do not increase it beyond 2 harakat or shorten it. This applies to words like قَالُوا (qaaloo), إِنِّي (innee), and موسى (Musa).

Examples for Clarity:

• Stopping at Madd Letters Examples:

• قَالُوا → "Qaaloo" (stop and elongate the Waaw for 2 harakat).

• إِنِّي → "Innee" (stop and elongate the Yaa for 2 harakat).

• موسى→ "Musa" (stop and elongate the Yaa for 2 harakat).

Today’s Goal:
Recite Juz 21 and mark every word ending with a Madd letter (Alif, Waaw, Yaa). Focus on elongating the Madd for exactly 2 harakat when stopping.

Reflection:
How does applying the rule of stopping at Madd letters help you appreciate the rhythm and beauty of the Quran? Reflect on how these rules enhance your recitation and connection with Allah’s words.
