Qalqala is a term used in Arabic language and Tajweed (the rules of Quranic recitation) to describe the bouncing or echoing sound produced when pronouncing certain Arabic letters (consonants) known as the Qalqala letters. These letters are ق، ط، ب، ج، د, and when they appear with sukoon (a diacritic mark indicating the absence of a vowel sound) in the middle or end of a word, they are pronounced with a bouncing sound known as qalqala.

Translation:Two other slaves also entered into the prison along with him. One day one of them said, "I dreamed that I am pressing grapes into wine," and the other said, "I dreamed that I am carrying loaves of bread on my head, of which birds are eating. " Then both of them said, "Tell us their interpretations, for we have seen that you are a righteous man." |
