After listing five qalqalah letters, the author uses a distinct “obligatory/permitted” wording for qāf versus the other four. The accompanying note discusses the more forceful nature of qāf’s qalqalah, connected with istiʿlāʾ and strength. The marginal discussion also reports differences in scholarly wording.
For practice, retain the qalqalah identity of all five sākin letters, and observe the particular strength of qāf. The note should not be used to erase qalqalah from the other four letters.
