What Is Madd Badal
Madd Al Badal in Arabic: is when 2 hamzah in the same word, the second with a Sukoon sign, come in succession, it is called Madd E Badal to convert the second hamzah to a Madd letter in the movement (harakah) of the first hamzah.
The reason for this rule is the pronunciation difficulty that occurs when there are two hamzas, (the second hamza has a Sukoon), come in succession. After discussing the rules of Madd Badal and its pronunciation, you realize when reading the Quran, you have been applying this rule naturally without realizing that. Let’s take a look!
How To Apply Madd Al Badal
If there are 2 hamzah in a word, the first has a vowel and the second has a Sukoon. The second hamzah is converted from the vowel category of the first hamzah to the letter Madd (for example, if the first hamza has a Dammah on it, the second hamzah is changed to (و), if the first hamza has a Kasrah, the second Hamzah is changed to (ي) and if the first hamza has a Fathah on it, the second hamzah is changed to (ا).
Madd Badal Examples:
أُؤْتينا ⇨ وَأُوتِينَا (originally)
إئْتاء ⇨ وَا۪يتَٓائِ (originally)
أأْدم ⇨ ءادم (originally)
The example of Madd Badal above shows that the hamza with the Sukoon (on the parts shown in orange) turns into a Madd letter in the type of Haraka of the preceding hamza so as to make the recitation of Allah’s book easier.
The example of Madd Badal above shows that when hamzah comes with Sukoon turns into a Madd letter of the type of the previous hamzah movement to facilitate the recitation.
Madd Badal Examples In Quran:
While the example in the word (وَأُوتِينَا), the example in the word (وَا۪يتَٓائِ). Here, the letter that has changed and turned into the letter Madd is sounded for two counts.
- وَأُوتِينَا ⇨ wa ooteenaa
- وَا۪يتَٓائِ ⇨ wa eetaae
- ءادم ⇨ aadama
When Not To Apply Madd Badal
To better understand the examples and the rule, let’s see an example in which case this rule is not applied. The word (أَيْمَانَهُمْ) in the Qur’an does not contain Badal and its pronunciation is “Aymaanahum”.
As you can see in the red shaded section, Hamza’s vowel is the Fatha before the letter Mad Yaa. For two beats to be heard, the hamza movement must be a Kasrah.
