2- Waaw as a Long Vowel

Waaw Maddiyyah (Prolonged)

Al-qiraa'ah

Phonetics
- Pronunciation: Like oo (moon) in English.
- Exit: The interior or the chest area.

Waaw Maddiyah ( Prolonged )

- If the letter Waaw ( ) comes after a letter with Dammah and has no mark
above or below it, then this Waaw will be pronounced like a double Dammah
As "oo" in "moon" ( bu
is short but boo is long)
- We call it "Maddiyyah" or prolonged because its time is double the time of
Dammah.
- An Arabic word can't start with Waaw Maddiyyah because Madd is like Sukoon.
