strengthen your heart thereby

Surah 2: ayah 121:
121. Those (who embraced Islâm from Banî Israel) to whom We
gave the Book [the Taurât (Torah)] [or those (Muhammad's Peace
be upon him companions) to whom We have given the Book (the
Qur'ân)]
Qur ân)] recite it (i.e. obey its orders and follow its teachings) as it
should be recited (i.e. followed), they are the ones that believe
therein. And whoso disbelieves in it (the Qur'ân), those are they
who are the losers. (Tafsir Al-Qurtubî. Vol. 2, Page 95).
Ibn Masood said by he whom my soul is in his hand:
means he allows the halal in it and forbids the haram in it and reads it as
it was revealed. {Ibn Kathir}

z رwith a connect and the letter before it has a connect
connect.
z رwith N-S on top including upside down e
z رwith a N-S on the bottom.
z رwith E-W
25
The Rules of ر:
z At face value, رis heavy.
z When رhas anything
y g on topp of it such as: the line on top
p or the
backwards e, then it is heavy.
z When رhas something underneath it such as: the line on the
bottom, then it is light.
z When رhas a ◌ْ◌ (connect),
(connect) look to the letter before it: -If the
letter before رwith ْ◌(connect) has a , then it is HEAVY
z -If the letter before رwith ْ◌ (connect) has a ◌ِ (line on the
bottom) then it is LIGHT
z Connect and hold doesn’t affect the ر
z If the letter before the رwith ْ◌ ALSO has a ْ◌ then simply look to
the letter before that. If a letter isn’t speaking to you then just
move to the next letter.

may be asking you to take a complete sound
and connect it to the next sound
sound. (When the
sound a letter makes is added to the accent it
