The difference between Meem & Meem

23 Jul The difference between Meem & Meem

We have received several questions about the difference between the Meem ” مـ “ as a punctuation sign, and the Meem ” م “ as a Tajweed rule called ” ‘Iqlab”. In this Blog we will show the difference to you.

The Meem ” مـ ” as a punctuation sign:

This punctuation sign means that you have to stop your recitation. You have to stop at the word below the meem, because if you continue your recitation the meaning will be affected.

Listen and Practice here: ( فَلَا يَحْزُنْكَ قَوْلُهُمْ ۘ إِنَّا نَعْلَمُ مَا يُسِرُّونَ وَمَا يُعْلِنُونَ )

The Meem ” م ” as a Tajweed rule called ” ‘Iqlab”:

This kind of meem comes between consonant noon/Tanween and Al-Baa’ letter ” ب “, and it’s a Tajweed rule called ‘Iqlab, and means that this consonant noon/Tanween will be pronounced as meem, with making a Ghunnah / tune about two vowels.

Listen and Practice here: (كَلَّا لَيُنْبَذَنَّ فِي الْحُطَمَةِ )

Listen and Practice here: ( قَدْ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ قَوْلَ الَّتِي تُجَادِلُكَ فِي زَوْجِهَا وَتَشْتَكِي إِلَى اللَّهِ وَاللَّهُ يَسْمَعُ تَحَاوُرَكُمَا ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ سَمِيعٌ بَصِيرٌ )
