Listen for these sounds

• Listen for the doubled n in inna; avoid making it a single quick n.
• A‘tayna contains ‘ayn and the emphatic ta. Learn both by listening and teacher feedback.
• Kawthar has tha, the tongue-tip sound, rather than an ordinary s.
• Salli begins with sad and contains a doubled lam.
• Wanhar contains ha from the throat. Follow the reciter for a clear ending.
• Notice the hamzah in shani’aka. Do not silently remove a syllable.

Repeat a difficult word, then the complete ayah. Ask a competent Quran teacher to check your sounds, vowel lengths, joining and stopping. A written transliteration cannot provide that check. Correct one sound at a time and keep the session calm.
