Tajweed Quiz Level 1

The letters sheen, jeem, and yaa are known as "tongue letters" in Arabic. This term refers to the way these letters are pronounced using the tongue against the roof of the mouth. These letters require the tongue to be elevated and in contact with the hard palate to produce the correct sound. Therefore, "tongue letters" is the appropriate term to describe these specific letters in Arabic.

The letters saad, seen, and zaa have the sifaat whistle.

The articulation point of the letter DHAAD is the side of the tongue. This is because the sound is produced by placing the sides of the tongue against the upper molars and then releasing the air while the tongue moves away from the molars. This creates a friction sound, which is the characteristic sound of the letter DHAAD. The lips, throat, and middle of the tongue are not directly involved in producing this sound.

The letter that has the sifaat (spreading) is sheen.

The correct answer is 5 major areas. This suggests that there are five different articulation areas used to pronounce different letters. Articulation refers to the physical movements and coordination of speech organs, such as the tongue, lips, and vocal cords, to produce specific sounds. Therefore, the answer implies that there are five distinct regions within the vocal tract that are involved in producing the various sounds of speech.

Tafkhim and Tarqiq are Tajweed rules that govern the pronunciation of the letter 'ر' (raa'). Tafkhim refers to pronouncing the 'ر' with a heavy, emphatic sound, while Tarqiq refers to pronouncing it with a light, thin sound. The specific rules for applying Tafkhim or Tarqiq depend on the letters preceding and following the 'ر'.

Hems letters are the letters that have a weak or slight continuation of breath. These letters include ه (ha), م (meem), and ص (sad). When pronouncing these letters, there is a slight prolongation of breath, but it is not as strong or forceful as in other letters. This is why they are categorized as having a weak or slight continuation of breath.

The letters that have sifaat (INCLINED) are raa and laam.

In Tajweed, the characteristics of letters are categorized into different Sifat, including Jahr (voiced), Hems (voiceless), and others. The letters in the sentence "LEEN OMAR" fall into the category of "Between Jahr and Hems." This means that these letters are not fully voiced like Jahr letters nor fully voiceless like Hems letters. They possess a characteristic that lies between the two, with a slight voicing but not as strong as Jahr letters. This categorization helps in the proper recitation of the Quran, ensuring the correct pronunciation and articulation of each letter.
