The Shaykh : Imlah, what is your opinion on imlah?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Do we leave it?
The reciter: "And the alif is inclined when it is at the end of a word, either replacing a ya or becoming a ya without addition or anomaly. The first type is like the alif in rama (he threw) and marama (he was thrown), and the second is like the alif in maha (a place of amusement), which becomes a ya in the dual form, such as mahiyan (two places of amusement). He cautioned with his phrase 'without addition or anomaly'."
The Shaykh : Okay, imlah, imlah, Abd al-Rahman?
The student: Khalid.
The Shaykh : Yes, come on, Khalid, show us the imlah.
The student: From the Qur'an, I will imlah from the Qur'an.
The Shaykh : Rama.
The student: We will recite a verse.
The Shaykh : No, no, I am not sure that you ... except, except, it is just imitation.
The student: Yes?
The Shaykh : We want application, not imitation.
The student: I want from the Qur'an.
The Shaykh : Imalah this: Rama.
The student: Rama, you read Rama.
The Shaykh : Rama, good. It seems, and Allah knows best, that this is a matter of improving the pronunciation, or that it is one of the dialects, because we have dialects here in Najd that incline toward imlah, incline toward imlah in some countries, so it is like a language for some people, and an improvement of pronunciation for others. Yes, okay, the author says.
