الرَّحِيمِ contains a madd yāʾ before its final mīm. In connected recitation, the mīm retains kasrah and the madd remains in its ordinary state. On pausing, the mīm becomes sākin, creating madd ʿāriḍ li-s-sukūn, with the familiar options of 2, 4 or 6 counts.
Do not drop the final vowel while linking, and do not randomly change the selected pausal length through one reading.
