Recording in preparation

Lesson summary

If the same letter comes after a letter without a vowel, the two are read as one doubled sound.

How do I read it?

Do not say the first letter on its own; make one sound with the second.

Letters: The same letter twice, the first without a vowel

  • مْ م and نْ ن merge with a nasal sound; you learned them in Silent Mîm and Silent Nûn and Tanween.
