missing harakah

[telluriumsilver]

As salaamu alaikum, On surah 39 ayah 37, there is a harakah missing on the noon. All of the fonts do not have it. This is on Quran.com:

Jazakallah Khairun, and May Allah bless your efforts ameen.

wa3laikum alsalam, there is no harakah on the noon in any versions of the King Fahd print of the mushaf - I checked all 3 prints, so quran.com not showing a harakah on the noon is correct. jazakumAllah khairan, walsalam 3alaikum

Wa-ʿalaykumus salām brother. For your information, adding to brother @ahmedre 's comment, there is a reason WHY King Fahd print does not add a ḥarakah on the noon here. If you learn the Sunnah art of proper Qurʾān recitation, called Tajweed, you will understand this concept. Basically, the noon here is to be recited with a "Ghunnah" (hiding and prolonging the noon sound nasally) in proper Qurʾān recitation, and the King Fahd print indicates when to do this by not putting a ḥarakah. The sukoon ḥarakah is used whenever we are supposed to pronounce the noon clearly without prolonging it, i.e., without a Ghunnah. If you play the audio of this verse, you will be able to hear the Ghunnah on noon being done here.

Compare this to verse 111:2 where there is a ḥarakah present on the noon in the word عَنْهُ. Play its audio and you will see the noon being pronounced without Ghunnah (short and clearly pronounced).

I personally appreciate and prefer the King Fahd Qurʾān script because they have this extra pronunciation information embedded in their script that people knowledgeable of the science of Qurʾān recitation can appreciate.

For learning more about the Sunnah art of beautifying Qurʾān recitation, see some short online resources here:

However, for learning Tajweed properly, you will need to learn it from your Masjid Qārī who has himself learned Tajweed. So that he can provide you live feedback and correct your mistakes and pronunciation. It's not very difficult to learn if you already know how to read Arabic. And then you can yourself recite the Qurʾān beautifully and properly like a professional Qārī, in-shāʾAllāh.

jazakum Allah khairan @naushervan.

Brother @benomaire informed me, jazahuAllah khair, that the naskh script does indeed have a sukoon on top of the noon here, as seen here. this bug is therefore valid only for the "IndoPak text" - the other fonts are fine.

[naushervan]

You are right, brother @ahmedre : the Indo-Pak Naskh script does not include/encode this Tajweed-related pronunciation information in its script. All of the noon sākin have a ḥarakah on them, irrespective of the Ghunnah requirement.

Yes you are right, see at Quran.com it shows only for the Indopak:

But in the Indopak Quran attached above it shows:

so therefore the Harakah is missing on the noon sakin only for the Indopak and needs to be fixed inn shaa Allah because it is impossible to read in Indopak without that since I am used to seeing the harakah on the noon sakin in my Quran copies at home. JazakAllahu khairun to the brothers above who clarified why the Fahd/Uthmani script doesn’t have it, but Indopak can’t function without it.
