Raa. Raa is a complex letter, with many rules. Try to pay attention as we go through this lesson together.

​

​

Raa by itself

​

1. Raa will always be read Full Mouth if it has a Fathah or Dammah on it.

​

2. If Raa has a Kasrah on it, it will be read empty mouth.

​

​

Raa Mushaddad

​

3.  If Raa Mushaddad has a Fathah or Dammah on it, then Raa will be read Full Mouth.

​

4. If Raa Mushaddad has a Kasrah on it, then Raa will be read empty mouth.

​

​

Raa Sakin

​

5. If Raa Sakin has a Fathah or Dammah on the letter before it, then Raa will be read Full Mouth.

​

6. If Raa Sakin has a Kasrah on the letter before it, then Raa will be read Empty Mouth.

​

7. If Raa Sakin has Yaa Sakin Before it, then Raa will always be read empty mouth.

​

8. If Raa Sakin has a different Sakin letter before it, then check the letter before that. If it has a Fathah or Dammah, then it will be read Full Mouth.

​

9. If Raa Sakin has a Sakin letter before it, and the letter before that has a Kasrah, then it will be read Empty Mouth, unless:

​

     That letter should has a Permanent Kasrah and not a Temporary Kasrah.

​

     The Kasrah letter and the Raa Sakin should be in the same word.

​

     After Raa Sakin, there should not be any of any Huroof Musta'liyah (Full Mouth Letters)
