It indicates emphasizing or doubling of a letter
It looks like the letter W.
This means it has two baas. The first ba has a sukoon and the next ba has a vowel. In this case it has a dhammah – بْ بُ
Lets look through some examples,
This is the same as this أَبْ بَ
The first ba has a sukoon and the second ba has a fatha. It reads – Abba. Pronouncing both Baas.
Another example.
This is the same as this أتْ تَ
It reads – utta, not uta, utaa. Pronouncing both taas.
This is the same as this إِثْ ثَ
It reads – iththa, very good
This reads – Ahha
This reads – Ashsha
This reads Awwa. If I take out the shadda it would read Awa أَوَ. Awa.
With a shadda it is Awwa, Awwa not Awa. Awwa.
This reads – ASsa, Great.
Lets try some bigger words.
This reads Kadhdhaba
This reads Quwwatin
When ever you see a noon ن or a meen م with the shaddah you hold it for two counts in the nose.
This reads Jannatin holding the n’ sound for 2 counts.
Same rule here because there is a meem. It reads Thumma holding the m’ sound for two counts. Great
This may be hard for some readers- Su’’irat.
It’s like this سُعْ عِرَت
Imagine its two words Su’ – I’rat.
In some book the kasra is written below the shaddah and not below the letter.
Zuwwijat. I didn’t say zuwijat without doubling the letter. It is Zuwwijat.
It’s like this زُوْ وِجَت – Zuw – Wijat
Suyyirat –
It’s like this سُيْ يِرَت – Suy-yirat
These examples also have long vowels – it reads Ayyaana
It’s like this أَيْ يَان – Ay yaana
Iyyaaka – its not iyaaka – its iyyaaka
Examples with alif maqsurah – tajallaa
Here are some bigger words with long vowels – Yu Salluuna
Here is a tricky one – Mu Madda da tin – Mumaddadatin – Great
These examples have sukoons and double shaddahs –
Al mud dath thir – Almuddaththir
This one is a hard one – I’lliiyiina
Lets split it so its easy to read – عِلِّي يِينَ
The first word reads I’llii, remember the long vowel ya if it has a kasra on the letter before it we stretch it. I’llii.
Same as the second word – yiina, not yina, yiina because of the long vowel yaa.
So again I’lliiyiina -Great
And last one – very similar to the previous one.
I’lliiyuuna
