What is Ghunna?

When the letter “م” and letter “ ن” have a

Shaddah( ) then they will be recited with Ghunnah(nasalization).

The length of nasalization does not have a precise count but comes with experience

You have to prolong the sound of the م or ن to apply ghunna.

These are the ONLY TWO huroof on which the rule of ghunna will apply.

How to read GhunnaExample 1:

Normally, the word (ن) .”is read “inna اHowever, that is incorrect. Ghunna applies on the

letter نas it carries a shadd.Hence the correct pronunciation is “innnnna”, i.e.

prolonging the “nn” sound of the ن.

Example 2:The word (م- .”is normally read “ThummaثBut when we apply Ghunna to the letter م , the

correct pronunciation becomes “Thummmmma”, i.e. prolonging the “mm” sound of the م.
