Ghunna is a light nasal sound from the nose with the duration of 2 Harakah.
Literal meaning: To make something clear
The rule: If after Nûn Sakinah "نْ"or Tanween "رجلٌ, رجلٍ ,رجلًا " [an, in, un sound] comes any of the Ith’har letters then it will be read clearly with no merging or sounds.
The Ith’har letters are also the Huroof Halqiyah (throat letters), hence its also known as Ith’har Halqi
– Examples of Ith’har with Noon As-Sakinah:
– Examples of Ith’har with Tanween:
Literal meaning: To merge something into something else
The rule: If after Nûn Sakinah "نْ"or Tanween "رجلٌ, رجلٍ ,رجلًا " [an, in, un sound] comes any of the Idghaam letters, you will merge the Nûn Sakinah or Tanween into the letter. The emphasis will be on the succeeding letter because of the presence of Shaddah.
Note: Idghaam will only appear in two words. Reason is shown below
Idghaam is of two types:
Idghaam with Ghunna:
If any of these letters come after Nûn As-Sakinah or Tanween it is read with Ghunna.
There are only four places in the Quran where Idghaam with Ghunna comes in one word (But they are recited with Ith’har) and they are:
{صِنْوَانٌ} An’aam 99 {قِنْوَانٌ} Ar-Ra’ad 4 {الدُّنْيَا} Al-Baqara 85 {بُنْيَانٌ} As-Saf 4
Idghaam without Ghunna:
It has two letters
If any of these two letters come after Nûn As-Sakinah or Tanween it will be read without Ghunna.

– Examples of Idghaam without Ghunna with Tanween:
Literal meaning: To conceal something
The rule: If any of the 15 letters of Ikhfaa’ come after Noon As-Sakinah or Tanween the word will be read with Ikhfaa’ and the sound is considered to be between Ith’har and Idghaam with the existence of Ghunna, and the duration will be of two Harakah.
They are the first letter of each word in this verse;
Please note that if the letter of Ikhfaa’ is a full mouth letter then the sound of Ikhfaa’ will also be a thicker full mouth sound and if the letter is a empty mouth letter then the sound will also be an empty mouth sound.
– Examples of Ikhfaa’ with Noon As-Sakinah and Tanween:
Literal meaning: To change something into something else
The rule: If after Nûn Saakinah or Tanween appears the letter of Iqlaab then the reader will substitute the Nûn Saakinah or Tanween into a Meem (م) and it will be recited with the sound between Idghaam and Ikhfaa’.
