Makhraj of ض (Daad)
By Muhammad Hassan ·
Did you know that ض is one of the hardest letters in Arabic and most of the people pronounce it wrong but it's very important because we read it daily in our prayers .
Today we are going to learn about the Makhraj of ض (Daad), one of the most difficult letters in Arabic.
The articulation point of ض is from the edge of the tongue. The edge of the tongue touches the upper molar teeth, either on the left, right, or both sides. Let's suppose we are going to touch the upper molar teeth with both sides then we have to form our tongue like a spoon Example: اَلضَّآلِّیْن, ضَ ضِ ضُ .

Common Mistakes
Many people read ض as ظ or even د — both are incorrect.For example, in Surah Fatiha they say: الظالين and الدالين ! Mispronouncing ض changes the meaning.
With letter الظالين ظ means - Those who remain/stay
With letter الضالین ض means - Those who have gone astray
With letter الدالين د means - Those who guide
and that’s serious, because we recite this verse in every prayer! Let's learn the Tajweed and recite The Quran the way it should be recited.
