What is Ghunna?
 When the letter “‫ ”م‬and letter “ ‫ ”ن‬have 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 ‫ م‬or ‫ ن‬to
apply ghunna.
 These are the ONLY TWO huroof on which the
rule of ghunna will apply.

How to read Ghunna
 Example 1:
 Normally, the word ‫ اِن‬is read “inna”.
 However, 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:
ُ normally read “Thumma”.
 The word ‫ثم‬is
 But when we apply Ghunna to the letter ‫ م‬, the correct
pronunciation becomes “Thummmmma”, i.e.
prolonging the “mm” sound of the ‫م‬.

the vowel sign.
