– QUALITIES OF LETTERS OR SIFAAT AL HUROOF PART -3 صفات الحروف الجزء الرابع
Without Opposites Permanent Qualities الصفات اللازمة غير المتضادة
4-Inhiraaf (inclined sound) الانحراف
- Definition: the leaning of the tongue away from its makhraj until it nears another makhraj.
- This quality is found in 2 letters and are called munharifah .
- This quality is found in only the following two letters: ( ل ر )
- Therefore, the (ل ) is pronounced with an inclination towards the makhraj of the (ر ) and vice versa.
This is more of a caution than a rule
- letter ( لام ) The tip of the tongue sticks at the articulation point of the ( لام )
Letter راء sticks at the left and right of the very tip to the second part of the articulation point ie. the gums of the two front teeth.

5-Takreer (to repeat) التكرير
- Definition: the quality of takreer is to pronounce in a repeated manner.
- The quality of takreer is found in one letter and it is called mukarrarah.
- Therefore, while the ( ر ) is being pronounced from its makhraj, naturally the tongue makes a slight vibration producing a repeated sound (i.e. rolling of the tongue). Care must be taken to avoid exaggeration of the vibration, otherwise instead of a single there may be 2 ( ر ) or instead of a double (mushaddad ),there may be many ( ر ).
This is more of a caution than a rule – takreer should be avoided
Practice exercise of Istitaalah:
6-Tafash-shee (spreading sound) التفشى
- Definition: to pronounce a letter with the filling of the mouth with air allowing the sound to spread greatly over the mouth.
- The quality o tafash-shee is found in the letter ( ش ) and it is called mutafash-shiyah.
- This is actually a natural characteristic of the ( ش ) , and the filling of the mouth with air applies whatever the harakaat.
- However, it is stronger when it carries a sukoon .
