1. Laam Al-Qamariyyah لاَم الْقَمَرِيَّة

It is written and pronounced, and after it a Shaddah "ــّ" does not appear.

Easily identified in Quran as after a Lamm, Shaddah would not exist and Laam will have a sukoon over it.

The rule: It will be recited with Ith’har "إظهار" i.e, clarity if after the Laam comes any of the Huroof Al-Qamariyyah (Moon Letters).

The Moon letters are:

ا, ب, غ , ح , ج , ك , و , خ , ف , ع , ق , ي , م , ه

And they are collected in the phrase:

اِبْغِ حَجَّكَ وَخَفْ عَقِيمَ

2. Laam As-Shamsiyyah لاَم الشَّمْسِيَّة

It is written but not pronounced, and after it a Shaddah will appear.

The rule: It will be read with Idghaam (To merge) without Ghunna (Nasal Sound) if after the Laam comes any of the Huroof As-Shamsiyyah (Sun Letters).

Note: ONLY the letter Nun will be read with Idghaam with Ghunna (Nasal Sound)

The Sun letters are: The rest of the letters after taking out the moon letters.

They are the beginning letters in this verse ⇓

طِبْ ثُمَّ صِلْ رَحْماً تَفُزْ ضِفْ ذَا نِعَمْ دَعْ سُوءَ ظَنٍ زُرْ شَرِيفاً لِلْكَرَمْ
