Al-Mudood is an Arabic word which means to extend and lengthen the sound of the letters, which are called ” letters of tide”, while reading the Holy Quran. There are different types of Mudood and cases of Mudood lets go deeper in this issue and know more about it.
The importance of Al- Mudood during recitation:
The increase or extending of reading of some letters of the Quranic words indicates an increase in its meaning. And it helps us to meditate in the Quranic words to understand the deep meanings of the Quranic verses. Al-Mudood add to the meanings of the words to give a deeper meanings, as for example,
Allah the Almighty said in Surat Al-Fatiha:
{The path of those whom you have blessed, and you are not angry with them and they are not being lost}
The word “lost” which came in Quran in the Arabic word “Al-Daallin” is extended by a heavy burden which indicates the abundance of these lost people compared to “angry with them” which is in Quran ” Al- Maghdob” which came without extending to indicate the small number of them.
Reading Quran in its right reading not only affects the tongue, but it affects the mind and the heart; whereas the tongue shares in correction of the letters pronunciation, the minds shares in understanding the meanings, and the heart shares in reverence and interaction.
Letters of tide:
There are specific letters for application the tide, which are:
-Alif with “Sokoon” with “Fatha” before it,
-Waw with “Sokoon” with “Damma” before it,
-Yaa’ with “Sokoon” with “Kasra” before it.
(Sokoon means stillness), (Fatha like the sound of A), ( Damma like the sound of O), ( Kasra like the sound of E).
Types of Mudood:
As we mentioned, Mudood have different types, according to the strength of each tide, and each of them has its specific time which called “movement”, and the number of movements means the time that the reader takes to read the letter.
-The original or natural tide:
It is the lengthen of the sound of the tide letter by two movements, but only if there is not a “hamza” or “Sokoon” after the tide letter.
**For example; (Al-Rahma*ni), “*” is the place of tide where “a” is the letter of tide and the letter “n” has a ” Kassra” which is represented in English with “i”.
But if there is a “hamza of a link” comes after the tide letter, the” hamza of a link” and the tide letter will not be pronounced.
**For example; (Fy*algaheem), “y” is the letter of tide, “a” is the hamza of a link, and both of them are not pronounced, it pronounced as (F*lgaheem).
-The Sub-tide or sub-extension:
It is the lengthen of the sound by a letter of tide when standing on the hamza or “Sokoon”, and it has five types which are:
#Continuous tide:
It is the lengthen of the sound by four, five or six movements, and it comes if the hamza is located after the tide letter in the same word,
**For example; (Al-Sma*a’), here the * is the place of tide, and “a” is the letter of tide, and “a’ ” is the hamza which comes after the letter of tide.
#Separated tide:
It is the lengthening of the sound by one of the tide letters between two words in condition that the letter of tide is located at the end of the first word, and the hamza is located at the beginning of the second word.
**For example; (Fy* anfosekom), here “y” is the letter of tide, and the “*” is the place of tide, and the “a” is the hamza, as you see “y” is in the end of the first word (fy), and the “a” is located at the end of the second word (anfosekom).
#Allowance tide:
It is the lengthening of the sound by a letter of the tide by two movements if there is a hamza before the letter of tide.
**For example; (Ey*man), here “*” is the place of tide, and the “E” is the hamza with Kasra, and the “y” is letter of tide, as you see hamza “E” came before the letter of tide “y”.
But if the letter of tide is a root letter of the word, and is not replaced by a hamza, so it treated as a natural tide.
**For example; (Al-Qura*n), here “*” is the place of tide where “a” is a root letter of the word.
#Necessary tide:
It is the lengthening of the sound by one of the tide letters by six movements if the tide letter comes before a ” Sokoon”, and it has four types:
1) Gravitational word, when the “Shadda” and tide letter are located in one word. And “Shadda” is Sokoon with stress on the letter.
**For example; (Al-Da*lleen), here “*” is the place of tide, and “a” is the tide letter, and “ll” is the letter with shadda, as you see the tide letter comes before the shadda.
2)Mitigating word, when the tide letter is located in a word and the “Sokoon” from the origin of the word comes before it in the same word.
**For example; (Ala*n), here “*” is the place of tide and “a” is the tide letter, and “I” is the letter with sokoon.
3)Heavy literal, it comes in the broken words of Quran when the tide letter comes before an integration, it comes in six movements.
**For example; (Alif La*m Mem), here “*” is the place of tide, and the “m” is integrated with the “M” of Mem.
4)Reduced literal, it comes also in the broken words of Quran when the tide letter comes before sokoon without presence of integration, and it comes in six movements too.
**For example; (Alif La*m Raa’), here “*” is the place of tide, and “a’ is the tide letter, and “m” is the letter with sokoon.
#Incidental extension of tranquility, when the tide letter comes before an incidental sokoon ( sokoon because of Waqf). Waqf means stopping.
For example; (Al-Rahe*m), here”*” is the place of tide, and “e” is the tide letter, and “m” is the letter with sokoon because of Waqf.
