Pesh will also be pronounced as ma'roof, make sure
it is not read in a majhool voice. The sound of ma'roof pesh is like the sound in the word "look". The sound of majhool pesh is like the sound in the word "more". The sound of pesh goes towards the front and the lips will go round when pronouncing.
Kharaa Zabar, Kharaa Zer, Ultaa Pesh should all be stretched like Huroof Maddah.

Rasmul Khat means the manner and way in which the Quran is written. At numerous places the letters Alif, Waaw and Yaa are written but not read. Upon these letters the symbol (x ) will be made. In the following table 2 word have been shown. The one shows how the word is written and the other shows how the word should be read.
The Alif after the Noon in the word Gl will not be read any where in the Quran. It will be read as 61 when Waqf
Waqf means to stop. While reading the Quran at different places symbols are made to show how to stop, where to stop and where not to stop. These symbols are explained in the table below. The teacher should thoroughly drill the student so that he may know each and every symbol in the Amma Para itself.
Note: 1. Where many symbol's are shown it is better to make amal on the symbol shown at the top. 2. If the breath is stopped in the middle of an ayat, read the last letter with a Saakin and re-read from a little before (the place of stopping).

Some Common Mistakes of Azaan and Iqaamah
The importance and value of Azaan should be explained to the students. Also, the words of Azaan and iqaamah should be taught and demonstrated practially.
Some common mistakes in the Azaan are as follows:
1. To strech the huroof-madd in the word" ~I " and in
the word " u,....) "
2. To strech the zabar (fathah) of the word" lr "
3. To not pronounce the" t " in the word "&.JL.:JI~tr "
4. To strech the" J " (Iaam) more than it should be streched in the word" ij..L..ol'" in "rjL!\O" ~,j.L..JI"
5. Similarly in " r.S1 JJ, "to strech the" J " (Iaam) of the
word" JJI " more than it should, for a madd-e-tab'ee "~.lA "
6. In iqaamah, to take a breathe between each phrase
(The repeated phrases in iqaamah are not suppossed to be seperated by breaths, but rather are to be recited together in pairs.)
7. To pronounce and say the harkaat of the" "&/~ "in the words" 1j.L.AJ\ ~;,r. " and" Q...a\i.li "
(some of these mistakes have been breifely explained in Sharhul-Wiqaayah)
- Sabeelul-Falaah, pg. 7 by hazrat Abrarul-Haq saab in iqaaman, just like in azaan, it is musta-hab (desirable) to
turn the face to the right and to the left whilst saying "(,.LJI »» and "c ')U.\I Jc.1.i'" "
(Shaami, durr-Mukhtar; Imdadul-Fataawa)
The last phrases of the iqaamah " JI, ":II ~I ":I A...llI_r.Sl...ll1 " should be recited together in one breath. (In the iqaamah, there should be no pause of breath between any of these last thr~e phrase, including between the second ~ JJ, " and" -ill, 'l'1,u1 '1 ")
