terms of when BEGINNING
stopping
it is observed of a word

stopping but NOT when CONTINUING

 (1)
Medd Al-badal is observed when
continuing but NOT when
STOPPING
For example:
﴾ٍ
‫َمَـَئاب‬
‫َحُسن‬
‫و‬ ُ‫َه‬
‫ِن ل‬ ‫﴿و‬
َّ ‫َإ‬
﴾ ُ‫ئات‬ ﴿
Stopping means the medd type changes from
َ َ ُّ
‫َمد البدل‬ to ‫عارض ل ِل ُّسكون‬ . ُّ
ِ ‫كون‬‫س‬ ِ is
‫عارض ل ِل‬ stronger, hence
overtaken ‫البدل‬
َ َ ‫ َم ُّد‬.
 (2)
Medd Al-badal observed ONLY at
BEGINNING of a word
For example:

﴾ ‫﴿ ٱ ْئ ُتوني‬ ِ ‫﴿ ٱ ْؤ ُت‬
﴾ ََ‫من‬ ﴾ ‫﴿ ٱ ْئ َذن‬

Such words do not have medd al-badal as

they are. Medd al-badal occurs ONLY when
we begin reading with these words.
 (2)
Medd Al-badal observed ONLY at
BEGINNING of a word

To read such words look at the 3rd letter.

ِ ‫﴿ ٱَْئ َُتوني ﴾ ﴿ ٱَْئ َِتنا ﴾ ﴿ ٱ َْؤَُت‬

﴾ ََ‫من‬ ََ ‫﴿ ٱَْئ‬
﴾ ‫ذن‬
 (2)
Medd Al-badal observed ONLY at
BEGINNING of a word
If 3rd letter is Kesrah / fetha /
non original dhamma.
﴾ ‫﴿ ٱَْئتَِنا‬ ﴾ ‫﴿ ٱَْئ َُتوني‬ ََ ‫﴿ ٱَْئ‬
﴾ ‫ذن‬

1) Put a kesrah on the 1st hamza.

2) Change 2nd hamza to a ‫ي‬

﴾ ‫﴿ إَْي ِتنا‬ ﴾ ‫﴿ إي ُتوني‬ ََ ‫﴿ إي‬

﴾ ‫ذن‬
 (2)
Medd Al-badal observed ONLY at
BEGINNING of a word
If 3rd letter is an original dhamma.

﴾ ‫﴿ اؤْتُمِن‬
َ
1) Put a dhammah on the 1st hamza.
2) Change 2nd hamza to a َ‫و‬

َ
‫﴿ واتُمِن‬
 (3)
Medd al-badal is observed when
stopping but NOT when
CONTINUING
For example:

﴾ ﴿

Continuing means the medd type changes from

َ ُّ
‫َمد البدل‬
َ ٌ َ ُ ٌ ٌّ ٌ َ ُ ٌ ٌّ
to ‫مد جا ِئز منف ِصل‬. ‫ مد جا ِئز منف ِصل‬is stronger,
hence overtaken ‫البدل‬
َ َ ‫ َم ُّد‬when continuing.
 (4)
Medd Al-badal is observed when
continuing AND when stopping
For example:

﴾َ ‫َن‬‫﴿ءَام‬
‫ي‬
﴾ ‫َنبِئُون‬
‫﴿أ‬
The hamza followed by the medd is either in the
middle of the word or at beginning.
