Guiding the people to Correct Al- Dad by Suleiman Faydi bin Abdullah Al- Islambouli (d.1208AH)_ Investigation and Study_

Abstract

Ancient and modern scholars were interested in how to pronounce the sound of Dhad, and wrote books and various letters about it. The reason for this is attributed to two things: the first is the difficulty of pronouncing it from its correct place of articulation, as it comes from both sides of the tongue, which makes its place of articulation similar to other sounds. The second is its confusion with the sound of Dhad in the hearing. Tajweed and performance scholars have urged mastering it in reciting the Holy Quran, so that mistakes are not made. The letter (Guidance of the Servants to Correct Dhad) by Suleiman Faydi is an extension of the efforts of those distinguished investigators who wrote on this topic. Its author wanted to clarify the correct pronunciation of the sound of Dhad, so he presented its place of articulation, then its phonetic characteristics that distinguish it, and its similarity to the sound of Dhad. He followed the approach of the ancients in correcting Dhad.
