What is the meaning of madd lazim?

It is the vowel in which it is not permissible to shorten it, that is, it is not permissible to pronounce the letter too short, but rather it must be lengthened according to the rules of intonation.

In Tajweed rules, madd is a rule for necessary prolongation. Madd can be classified into two types: madd lazim kalimi (letter-based necessary prolongation) and madd lazim harfi (word-based necessary prolongation). Madd is further categorized into madd al-muthaqal (heavy) and madd al-mukhaffaf (light), depending on the letters involved.

Examples of madd harfi mukhaffaf include instances where the saakin letters are elongated correctly. These include the rules of madd harf mukhaffaf.

In the following lines, we mention examples of madd harfi mukhaffaf:

The different types of necessary extensions in the Quran are explained to us by the Quran teachers at Shaikh Saleh Academy in detail as follows:
