Al-Mudood is an Arabic word which means to extend and lengthen the sound of the letters, which are called ” letters of Madd”, 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. AlMudood 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 (الضآلين) which is extended by a heavy burden which indicates the abundance of these
lost people compared to “angry with them” which is in Quran
(المغضوب عليهم)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 as well; 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 Madd:
There are specific letters for application the tide, which are:
-Alif with vowel “Fat-ha” on the letter before it,
-Waw with “Damma” vowel on the letter before it, -Yaa’ with “Kasra” vowel on the letter before it. where (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 type, 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 Madd or Madd al-Tabi’i:
It is the lengthen of the sound of Madd letter by two movements, but only if there is not a “hamza” or “Sokoon” after the Madd letter, for example: الرحٰمنٰ
where (‘) is Alif Madd, and the letter(ن) has a kassra vowel.
When a pronoun has a vowel and is located between two vowels before it and after it, it is called # Madd Assilah Assughra, as in
إنَّ هذِهِ * تذَْكِزة
Where * is the place of Madd, and ( هِ ( Is the pronoun that has a kassra
Vowel, and it is between two letters with vowels which are
(ذِ ، تَ)
However, when a word with Tanween of fat-ha is the last word where we will stop after pronouncing it, here the Alif of Tanween with fat-ha will be
changed to Alif Madd without Tanween, as in:
شكورا
If there is a hamza before the letter of Madd, For example in
إِيمانكُُم
here, the letter of Madd)ي( Which follows a hamza with kassra vowel, and
it is called # Madd al-Badal, as it is originally as follow:
إئمانكم
-The sub-extension or Madd al-Fari’i:
It is the lengthen of the sound by a letter of Madd when standing on the hamza or “Sokoon”, and it is shown in the following examples:
#Madd wajib Muttasil
It is the lengthen of the sound by four, five or six movements, and it comes if the hamza is located after Madd letter in the same word, for example:
الما*ء
here, * is the place of Madd, and )ا( is Alif Madd which is followed by
hamza in the same word.
#Madd Jaa’ez Munfasil
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: في* أنفسكُم here, (ي) is a Madd letter at the end of a word, and( أ)Is a hamza at the Beginning of the next word, and * is the place of Madd.
#Madd Assila Alkubra
It is the type of Madd related to the presence of possessive pronoun at the end of a word and is followed by a hamza in the next word, for example:
هذهِ * أنعَم where(ه) is a pronoun at the end of a word, and is followed by a hamza (أ) at the beginning of the next word, and * is the place of Madd.
#Madd al-Laazim:
It is the lengthening of the sound by one of the tide letters by six movements if the tide letter comes before a ” Sukoon”, and it has four types:
1) Gravitational word, when the “Shadda” and a letter of Madd are located in one word. “Shadda” is Sokoon with stress on the letter, for example:
الصآ*خَّة
where (آ) is Alif Madd and is followed by (خَّ)which has a shadda ,
2)Mitigating word, when the letter of Madd is located in a word and a letter with “Sukoon” from the origin of the word follows it in the same word, for example:
ءَآ*لْئن
here “*” is the place of Madd and (آ)Is the letter of Madd which is followed
by a letter with sukoon ( لْ).
3)Heavy literal, it comes in the broken words of Quran when a letter of Madd comes before an Idgham, it comes in six movements, for example: ألم at the beginning of Surahs. it is pronounced as (Alif La*m Me*m), here “*” are the places of Madd, and
the “m” is hiding in the “M” of Mem because of Idgham.
4)Reduced literal, it comes also in the broken words of Quran when a letter of Madd comes before sukoon without presence of Idgham, and it comes in
six movements too, for example: ألر at the beginning of some Surahs
It is pronounced as(Alif La*m Raa’), here “*” is the place of tide, and “a’ is the tide letter, and “m” is the letter with sukoon.
#Madd with presented sukoon, when the letter of Madd comes before an incidental sokoon ( sokoon because of Waqf), where Waqf means stopping.
as in ا لرحيم where(ي)is the letter of Madd, and the letter(م) is the letter with sukoon because of Waqf.
# Madd al-Leen
We should know that “Yaa’ and Waaw are called “leen letters”, and when one of these Madd letters follows a letter with fat-ha and is followed by only one letter which is the last letter in the word and has a presented sukoon, as
in : لإيلافِ ُقريش where(ي) is a letter of Madd and( شْ) is the last letter in the word with a presented sukoon, and they follow a letter with fat-ha (رَ).
