Lesson 24: The Sakt سَكْت (The breathless pause )
Sakt سَكْت
The breathless pause
Its applied definition: Cutting off the sound for a time less than the time of a stop, without breathing, with intention of returning to the recitation immediately.
Places
that حَفْص عَن عَاصِم مِن طَرِيق
الشَّاطِبِّيَّة has a سكت
There are four places
where the Sakt is required (waajib) for the reader reciting the Qur'an by
the way of Hafs 'an 'Aasim min Tareeq Ash-Shatibiyyah to do all of these سكت as long as he/she is reading the two
words that have a سكت in
between them in continuum. If the reader stops between the two words
(which is allowed in al-Kahf and Ya seen), then the سكتwould not be employed, since it is now a
stop.
1.
The first Sakt سكت (a
short breathless stop) is made on the Alif substituted in place of the Tanween
in the word عِوَجَا ,
at the beginning of surah al-Kahf, when joining the first Aayah with the next
one , then would read قَيِّمَا.
وَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ لَهُ عِوَجًا (1)
قَيِّمًا لِيُنْذِرَ
This doesn’t mean that it is not allowed to stop on the
word عِوَجَا since it is the end of an Aayah. If one stops though,
there would be no سكت.
2. There is also a سكت after the word مَرْقَدِنَا, in Aayah 52 of surah
YaSeen
) قَالُوا يَا وَيْلَنَا مَنْ
بَعَثَنَا مِنْ مَرْقَدِنَا هَذَا
مَا وَعَدَ الرَّحْمَنُ وَصَدَقَ الْمُرْسَلُونَ (52) when the reader joins it with the next
phrase هَذَا مَا
وَعَدَ الرَّحْمَنُ without stopping. It is allowed
to stop on the word مرقدنا then there obviously would be no سكت.
3. There is also a سكت on the word من, in Aayah 27 of Surah
Al-Qiyaamah, وَقِيلَ مَنْ رَاقٍ
(27); after the sakt, the recitation continues with the word راق. There is Ith-har
اظهار in من , since the سكت prevents the letters from meeting, and
therefore there is no ادغام. of the noon
saakinah in the word
4. There is also a
سكت on the لام of the
word بلwith
اظهار of the لام because the سكت prevents
the two letters from meeting so there is no ادغام in aayah 14 of surah al-Muttafifeen
كَلَّا بَلْ رَانَ
عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ مَا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ (14) .
After the sakt, then recites the next word ران.
NOTE: These four Sakt are required when reading these words in
continuum with what follows, when reciting by the Shatabiyyah way of Hafs.
There are two Allowed ( جائز)
sakt in two different places in the Qur’an. These two Sakt are not
specific to the recitation of Hafs, but are allowed in the other ways of
recitation also. These "Allowed" Saktaat means there is more
than one allowed way of reading in these places.
1. The first allowed سكت is between the end of surah al-Anfaal,
and the beginning of surah at-Tawbah
إِنَّ اللَّهَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ (75) بَرَاءَةٌ
مِنَ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ
when
joining the end of al-Anfaal with the beginning of Surah at-Tawbah. The
allowed Sakt سكت is
on the م of the word عليم then the recitation continues with بَرَآءَةٌ مِنَ الله. Again, there
are other allowed ways of joining these two surahs.
2. The second allowed سكت is on the word ماليه in verse 28 of Surah
al-Haaqqah when continuing with the next Aayah
مَا أَغْنَى عَنِّي مَالِيَهْ (28)
هَلَكَ عَنِّي سُلْطَانِيَهْ (29)
There is another allowed way of reading when joining these
two Aayat, that is Idghaam of the first Saakin letter ها of
the word ماليه into
the voweled ها of
the word هلك .
Both of these two ways of joining these two Aayat are allowable.
