LessonsRules of Sakin and Doubled Mim, Sakin Nun and TanwinQuiz

When still nun or tanwin is followed by lam (ل) or ra (ر) in the next word, the rule is idgham without ghunnah. The separate n and its additional nasal resonance are dropped into the strengthened following consonant. What becomes prominent is lam or ra, not a nasalized nun.

«مِنْ لَدُنْهُ»
From His presence. Assimilation into lam without ghunnah.
«مِنْ رَبِّهِمْ»
From their Lord. Assimilation into ra without ghunnah.

Compare: «مِنْ مَالٍ» uses nasal assimilation because mim follows, while «مِنْ لَدُنْهُ» uses assimilation without ghunnah because lam follows. In both the separate nun disappears, but the nasal treatment differs.
