Common mistakes of quran pronunciation

  1. Misplacing the stress: Many pronounce "quran" with the stress on the second syllable, saying /kwəˈræn/. However, the correct stress is on the first syllable, /ˈkɔːr.ɑːn/. Tip: Focus on emphasizing the first syllable.
  2. Incorrect vowel sounds: Some may pronounce the "u" as in "cup," leading to /kwɪˈræn/. The correct pronunciation uses a longer "a" sound, /ˈkɔːr.ɑːn/. Tip: Practice saying "car" to get the correct vowel sound.
  3. Overemphasizing the "q": A common mistake is to pronounce "quran" with a heavy "q" sound, leading to /kʊˈræn/. The "q" should be pronounced lightly, as in /k/. Tip: Keep it subtle, focusing on the following vowel.
  4. Ignoring the "a" sound: Some may skip the "a" altogether, pronouncing it as /ˈkwɪr.n/. The "a" should be clearly pronounced as /ɑːn/. Tip: Make sure to articulate the "a" sound fully, as it is essential to the word.
  5. Mispronouncing the ending: Many might say /kwəˈræn/ and drop the "n" sound at the end. The correct pronunciation includes the "n," resulting in /ˈkɔːr.ɑːn/. Tip: Pay attention to the ending to ensure clarity.
