Demonstration of the Silent Nun and Tanween
The demonstration of the silent nun (ن) or tanween occurs when one of the letters of articulation follows, which include: (أ, هـ, ع, ح, غ, خ). This signifies that the letter nun or tanween is devoid of ghunnah (nasalization) or shaddah (emphasis) and may present in one or two words. Below are some instances of demonstration found in Surah Az-Zukhruf:
| Verse Number | Demonstration Location |
