Assalam Alaikum
I will not be in class this week. Your job will be to focus on the surahs you have memorized, or are currently memorizing. The week afterwards (3/29/09) you have no school. Make sure you go through all of the surahs because once we come back, you will have a quiz on a random surah; make sure you are prepared. Expect the current surah we are memorizing to be on the quiz!

Surahs to go over:

Lesson#2 Guttural Letters حروف حلقى

The second category of letters come from the throat. Thus they are termed the Guttural Letters. There are three parts to this category. These sub-categories represent the three parts of the throat namely: Adna, Awsat, and Aqsa. Below is the order in which they occur as well as the letters which are pronounced from the different parts. Later on, when we will be talking about the rules of ن , these letters will become very important.

Adna غ خ
Front of the Throat
Awsat ع ح
Middle of the Throat
Aqsa ء ه
Back of the Throat

Lesson 1: Maddah Letters حروف مدّه

3.The first category of letters we looked at were the Maddah letters. The letters are ا و ى . Maddah comes from the word Mad which means to stretch. The rule for stretching is simple. First the letters (ا وى) need to have a saakin/jazm ( ْ ). Now inorder for Mad to occur, or inorder to stretch, the letter before Alif ا should have a fatha, the letter before Ya ى should have a kasra, and the letter before Wawو should have a dammah.

Examples:

1. اَنَّاس

2. اَلْفِيْل

3. يُوْلَدْ
