What is iqlaab?

Answer 1

Iqlaab is a term in Tajweed, the art of Quranic recitation, referring to a specific rule applied to the Arabic letter ن (noon) when it is followed by the letter ب (ba). In this case, the noon is pronounced as a "mim" sound, resulting in a nasal sound, and it is indicated with a special sign called "ghunna." This rule enhances the flow of recitation and maintains the phonetic harmony of the Quranic text. Proper application of iqlaab is essential for accurate and melodious recitation.
