What is a noon saakinah?
A noon saakinah is any noon with a visible sukoon [نْ] or that is empty [ن]. It is always pronounced, in continuing or in stopping.
For example, in the word [عَنْ] we will pronounce the noon saakinah clearly whether we stop at this word, or continue onto the next word.
What is a tanween?
The tanween are three kinds: the tanween fat-ha or double fat-ha, the tanween dammah or double dammah, and the tanween kasrah or double kasrah.
باً بٌ بٍ
The tanween is also known as an extra noon saakinah, because it is read as a noon saakinah, but it is not written like one.
For example, we will read the three letters above as: [بَنْ، بُنْ، بِنْ]
The tanween is an extra noon saakinah that is not written, but pronounced. If we were to stop on a word that has tanween on its last letter, we would not pronounce the tanween, and instead read it with sukoon.
For example: We will read the word [عَلِيمٌ] as [عَلِيمُنْ] in continuing.
In stopping, we will read it as [عَلِيمْ] by pronouncing the meem with a sukoon and omitting the tanween dammah.
From this we can understand that the noon saakinah and tanween are both the letter noon [ن] with a sukoon.
The only difference is that we cannot see this written noon for the tanween.
Idhaar Halqi
The Rules of Noon Saakinah & Tanween are 4. The first is called Idhaar Halqi.
Idhaar [إظهار]: means clear or obvious linguistically.
In this rule, to make Idhaar means to pronounce the noon saakinah or tanween clearly and without any 2 counts of ghunnah elongation.
Halqi [حلقي] means "of/from the throat", and this is because this rule is due to the 6 throat letters.
Idhaar Halqi's letters [the throat letters]: ء ه ، ع ح ، غ خ
Its rule: Whenever a noon saakinah or tanween is followed by a halqi letter, we will make Idhaar Halqi by pronouncing the noon clearly without 2 counts of ghunnah elongation.
Note: Whenever you see a noon saakinah or a tanween, you must look at the letter coming directly after it to determine which rule it belongs to.
