Ghunnah: A Beginner's Guide
Ghunnah is a measured nasal quality associated especially with Noon and Meem. This page explains what to notice, how to practise, common mistakes, and when teacher correction matters.
What is Ghunnah?
The sound resonates through the nasal passage while the exact articulation and count depend on the rule. It should not become an exaggerated hum detached from the word.

Frequently asked questions
Can a beginner learn Ghunnah from this page alone?
The page can support recognition and vocabulary, but accurate recitation needs listening and correction from a qualified teacher or approved recitation.
Is Ghunnah part of Noorani Qaida?
Noorani Qaida builds the reading foundation used to notice and apply Tajweed. Course editions vary, so NoorPath treats this as a connected foundation rather than a certification claim.
