ِAl-shiddah (Severity):

This blog is going to talk about the aspect of (Shiddah), severity. al-shiddah literally means strength. Technically, it means the discontinuation of the sound while pronouncing it to rely greatly on its Makhraj. Therefore, the following letters have this quality. ( أجدك تقطب )

At-Tawassut (Moderity):

literally, means moderation. Technically, it means between strength and softness so that the speaker disconnects the sound partially when pronouncing the letter. iFor this reason, t is not a separate quality on its own. However, falls in between both shiddah (severity) and Rakhawa (softness). Moreover, we find the quality in the following letters: ( لن عمر )

Rakhawa (Softness):

Literally means softness. It technically means the continuation of the sound. This happens while pronouncing the letter causing weakness in its reliance on its Makhraj. So, all letters other than the letters of shiddah and Tawassut have this quality. Therefore, the letters of Rakhawa are:

( ص – ض – ظ – غ – ف – ك – ه – و – ي)

(ت – ث – ح – خ – د – ذ – ز – س – ش)
