Tajweed Rule

Iqlab

إِقْلَاب · /ɪqˈlæːb/

Iqlab is a Tajweed rule where a noon sakinah or tanween changes into a meem sound before the letter ba.

What does Iqlab mean?

Rather than keeping its original noon sound, the letter is converted to a meem with ghunna, the only Tajweed rule that involves an actual letter substitution rather than merging or hiding the sound.
