The Type of Raa depends on the Harakahs (diacritics) on Raa. There are 2 main types of the ruling of the letter Raa (ر): heavy Raa (Tafkheem Of Raa) or light Raa (Tarqeeq Of Raa). Therefore, it is recommended to learn Tajweed and Quran from a qualified teacher who can guide and correct the student’s pronunciation to avoid any errors in recitation. It is worth noting that Tajweed is a precise and detailed science, and the correct pronunciation of each letter is crucial to understanding and reciting the Quran accurately as it was revealed to prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
It is essential to place the tongue in the correct position to ensure the proper pronunciation of the letter “Raa” and to avoid any mistakes in Quranic recitation. When pronouncing the “Raa” sound in Quran, the tongue should be pressed firmly against the alveolar ridge while the air is expelled from the mouth, causing a vibration that produces the “Raa” sound. This area is called the alveolar ridge, which is a bony ridge that runs along the upper jawbone, just behind the upper front teeth. It can accurately be pronounced where the front teeth meet the gums. The Letter Raa is pronounced in the Tajweed of the Quran by vibrating the tip of the tongue against the upper gums of the front teeth.
