The word Ruh رُوح (soul) is quite common in Islamic vernacular, but رِيح (wind or scent) is also from the same root. Found in the verse in 8:46 (Surah Al-Anfal), forbidding believers from disputing, as it takes away one's literal "wind", meaning energy or strength. (Further research: https://corpus.quran.com/qurandictionary.jsp?q=rwH)
وَأَطِيعُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥ وَلَا تَنَـٰزَعُوا۟ فَتَفْشَلُوا۟ وَتَذْهَبَ رِيحُكُمْ ۖ وَٱصْبِرُوٓا۟ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ مَعَ ٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ
“Obey Allah and His Messenger and do not dispute with one another, or you would be discouraged and weakened. Persevere! Surely Allah is with those who persevere.”
Note: students do writing exercises at home. In class, instructor goes over annotations and pronunciation and reading and meaning.
In context of readings (not rules/terms). Color code letters of Qalqalah and Ghunnah (but do not use these terms, rather, use the terms below).
Surah Al Inshirah (again)
We are revisiting Surah Al Inshirah to give additional practice in reading. We will introduce two concepts here:
Two letters have a nasal sound when they have a shaddah, and they are emphasized with two counts and sound comes out of the nose. These two letters are (م) and (ن). Focus on this when reciting (إِنَّ) in verses 5 and 6.
Verses 7 and 8: Bouncing letters are letters that bounce like a ball when they have a sukun on them. In English, you hear a little of this on the “b” in the word “web”. The following letters are bouncing letters:
(قْ - طْ - بْ - جْ - دْ)
Focus on the bouncing of the (بْ) in verses7 and 8 below, given the (بْ) ends sentence and therefore, you will add a temporary sukun when reading it.
