Lesson summary
If no hamza or sukun comes after the madd letter, the sound is lengthened one elif.
How do I read it?
Lengthen the sound one elif; do not read the madd letter as a separate syllable.
Letters: The madd letters: ا after a fatha, وْ after a damma, يْ after a kasra
Length: 1 elif (a relative length in Tedvîr recitation, not seconds)
Common mistake: Cutting the length short, or adding an extra syllable.
