This occurs when the possessive pronoun
 (shown as
.gif) when attached to the previous letter), which denotes the 3rd person singular masculine, falls between 2 letters that carry a
vowel.
Two types: Major (ﮐﺒﺮى)
and Minor (ﺻﻐﺮى)
MAJOR
Requirements :
-
The possessive pronoun
- Followed by hamzah (
 ) mutaharrik
Effect :
-
Elongate 2, 4 or 5 counts
-
Preferred 4 or 5
Further Notes :
-
Preferred elongation is 4 or 5 to illustrate that it is not the natural madd of just 2 counts
-
Those who have no or little knowledge of the Arabic language may not understand the usage of the possessive pronoun
which basically refers to the third person singular masculine. A tiny
 / will be present to indicate this rule
The presence of a squiggly line indicates that it is preferred that the reader elongates it for more than 2 counts
-
If the
carries a dammah (
 ),
will be present
-
If the
carries a kasra (
 ),
will be present

Examples
EXCEPTIONS TO THE RULE OF MADD SILA
There are 4 instances in the Qur'an where the rules of MADD SILA will not apply.
-
Surah Al Furqan
(25:69)
Hafs lengthens it even though the letter preceding the 'ha' is saakin, and not mutaharrik
-
Surah Zumar (39:7)
﴾ ﴿
The 'ha' is not elongated, even though it is between 2 letters that are mutaharrik
-
Surah Naml (27:28)
﴾
﴿
Hafs reads it with a sukoon ( ) on the 'ha'. As it carries a , it would probably be read this way anyway
-
Surah Ash-Shura
(26:36)
﴾ ﴿
Hafs reads it with a sukoon () on the 'ha'. As it carries a , it would probably be read this way anyway

An alif which carries 2 fathahs
 ,is called fathahtain, and is written as
اً
Requirements :
-
This madd occurs when the reader stops on the fathahtain (
)
(For further information on stopping at tanween, refer to
'Rules of Waqf')
Effect :
-
Instead of pronouncing
nunnation, the reader stops as though there is a natural madd with a
 
-
So it is like taking one of the off and being left with 1 fathah and an alif i.e. Natural madd
-
Elongate 2 counts
Further Notes :
-
This applies whether stopping in the middle or end of an ayah
-
However, if the letter is a ta marbutta (
 ) , then the rule of madd 'ewad will not apply. Instead, it is pronounced like
carrying a
, in which case the
sifa of hems (continuation of breath) will be applied
E.g
| ﺟَﻨَّﺔً |
|
pronounced as
|
ﺟَﻨَّﻪْ
