Use the Quran player to repeat difficult words slowly.

• Qul begins with qaf, which differs from the k sound in malik.
• A‘udhu contains ‘ayn and dhal. English spelling cannot teach those sounds precisely.
• Nas and khannas contain a long a. Do not turn the long vowel into several extra syllables.
• The doubled n in an-nas and al-khannas needs careful listening.
• Khannas begins with kha, not ordinary English h.
• Sudur begins with the emphatic sad.

Follow the reciter for joining and stopping. Ask a competent Quran teacher to check your recitation. Transliteration is only a reminder.
