Both lips meet lightly.
Back of the tongue with soft palate.
Tip touches gums lightly.
Middle throat—airy & soft.
Letters carry qualities like **heavy/light** and **strength/softness**. Hearing these differences makes recitation sound correct.

Merge Noon/Tanween into the next letter (with/without ghunnah).
Noon/Tanween becomes hidden **م** with ghunnah before **ب**.
Sound is hidden with nasalization before 15 letters.
