LessonsAlif, Waw and Ya: Types of Madd and Special Hamzah RulesQuiz

To identify a madd rule, first confirm the presence of an actual madd letter. Then examine the immediately following letter and the word boundary. Finally determine whether the reciter is joining words or pausing. These details can change the classification.

Question 1: Is the vowel-letter environment correct—fathah before alif, dammah before still waw, or kasrah before still ya?
Question 2: Is a following hamzah or sukun within the same word or in the next one?
Question 3: Is the sukun original or produced only by pausing?

In «جَاءَ», the hamzah follows alif in the same word. In «إِنَّا أَعْطَيْنَاكَ», it begins a second word. A pause on «الْعَالَمِينَ» produces a final still nun. These are distinct conditions and therefore receive distinct rules.
