Idgham Mithlain
Another name for the rule of Mim & Nun Mushaddadah (Merging of Two Identical Letters).
Mushaddadah letter
It is a letter with a Shaddah (ู ) on it, indicating that two of the same letter have met - the first is Sakin (ููู / ูู ู) and the second is Mutaharrik (ูู / ู ู).
Rule for Nun Mushaddadah (ูู)
It is pronounced with a full Ghunnah (nasalization) for 2 counts.
Ghunnah
A nasal sound that resonates through the nose.
Example of Nun Mushaddadah
ุฅููููุง (Inna) - The 'n' sound is prolonged with a strong nasal resonance.
Rule for Mim Mushaddadah (ู ู)
It is also pronounced with a full Ghunnah for 2 counts, but with the lips closed.
Why is the pronunciation different for Mim Mushaddadah?
Because the letter Meem is articulated by closing the lips, so the Ghunnah is produced with the lips closed.
Example of Mim Mushaddadah
ููููู ู ููุง (Lakum ma) - The 'm' sound is prolonged with the lips closed.
Common factor between Mim and Nun Mushaddadah
Both are pronounced with a compulsory Ghunnah for 2 counts.
Qalqalah
