Understanding where each sound originates is the first step to correct pronunciation. These worksheets guide you through the specific articulation points within the mouth and throat.Makharij al-Huruf are the precise points of articulation from which each Arabic letter is produced. Our worksheets help you physically locate and practice producing sounds from their correct origin, such as the distinct sounds of letters that come from the throat.

“أَوَلَا يَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا يُسِرُّونَ وَمَا يُعْلِنُونَ” 

“Awa la ya’lamoona annal-laha ya’lamu ma yusirroona wa ma yu’linoon” 

“But do they not know that Allah knows what they conceal and what they declare?” (Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:77) 

This verse contains the letter ‘ع’ (Ayn), which is articulated from the middle of the throat, a skill these worksheets help you master.

“بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ” 

“Bismil-lahir-Rahmanir-Raheem” 

“In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.” (Surah Al-Fatiha, 1:1) 

Here, the letter ‘ح’ (Ha) originates from the middle of the throat, distinct from the deep-throated ‘ه’ (Haa), a subtlety clarified through Makharij practice.Download Makharij al-Huruf Worksheet

Beyond their point of origin, every letter has unique characteristics that define its sound. These exercises train you to apply these essential attributes correctly during recitation.Sifaat al-Huruf are the intrinsic qualities or attributes of a letter that give it its final sound, such as being heavy, light, echoing, or having a whistling quality. These worksheets focus on training your ear and tongue to recognize and produce these characteristics.

“ٱهْدِنَا ٱلصِّرَٰطَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَ” 

“Ihdinas-Siraatal-Mustaqeem” 

“Guide us to the straight path.” (Surah Al-Fatiha, 1:6) 

The letter ‘ص’ (Saad) has the quality of Tafkheem (heaviness), producing a full, rich sound that these exercises help you perfect.

“قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ ٱلنَّاسِ” 

“Qul a’oodhu birabbin-naas” 

“Say, ‘I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind.’” (Surah An-Nas, 114:1)

This worksheet offers clear examples and practice drills to help you differentiate between Madd Asli (the natural, two-count Madd) and Madd Far’i (secondary Madds, which have different lengths and conditions).

“وَإِذْ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ إِنِّى جَاعِلٌ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ خَلِيفَةً” 

“Wa idh qaala Rabbuka lilmalaa’ikati innee jaa’ilun fil ardi khaleefah” 

“And [mention, O Muhammad], when your Lord said to the angels, ‘Indeed, I will make upon the earth a successive authority.’” (Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:30) 

The word “قَالَ” (qaala) is a perfect example of Madd Asli, where the alif elongates the fat-ha sound for two counts.
