Tajweed Rule

Hams

هَمْس · /hæms/

Hams is the soft, breathy airflow that escapes when pronouncing certain Arabic letters that lack full vocal closure.

What does Hams mean?

Tajweed groups several letters together as huroof al-hams because air passes audibly through them; pronouncing these letters with proper hams keeps their character distinct from letters pronounced with a fuller, closed sound.
