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
