Day 22: 30 Days Excellence Challenge

Tajweed Rule of the Day:
Madd Aaridh Li-Sukoon (مد عارض للسكون):
When a Madd letter (Alif, Waaw, or Yaa) is followed by a Sukoon (ْ) that occurs due to stopping (not original Sukoon), elongate the Madd for 2, 4, or 6 harakat (counts). This is called Madd Aaridh Li-Sukoon (temporary elongation due to stopping).

Examples for Clarity:

• Madd Aaridh Li-Sukoon Examples:

• الْعَالَمِينَ → "Al-‘aalameen" (stop and elongate the Yaa for 2, 4, or 6 harakat).

• الرَّحِيمُ → "Ar-Raheem" (stop and elongate the Yaa for 2, 4, or 6 harakat).

• الْكِتَابُ → "Al-Kitaab" (stop and elongate the Alif for 2, 4, or 6 harakat).

Today’s Goal:
Recite Juz 22 and mark every Madd letter followed by a Sukoon due to stopping. Focus on elongating the Madd for 2, 4, or 6 harakat when stopping.
