LessonsRefining Qualities and the Detailed Rules of Lam and RaQuiz

At a pause, when a still ya immediately precedes the final still ra, the ra is read lightly, even if the vowel before that ya is fathah. This specific condition is not overridden by mechanically looking past the ya to an earlier vowel.

«خَيْرٌ» at a pause — still ya before final still ra: light ra.
«قَدِيرٌ» at a pause — madd ya before final ra: light ra.

The conditions must be read in their proper setting: the ya is still and the ra becomes still through the pause. Ignoring the difference between connected reading and pausing leads to faulty classifications.
