Phenomenon of Consonant Meeting in Arabic: Analysis and Resolution

Abstract

The phenomenon of consonant meeting poses complex linguistic challenges, attracting significant attention from Arabic scholars. This research delves into the detailed exploration of consonant meeting, examining its occurrences in Quranic readings, poetry, and prose. Scholars not only compile and organize instances of this linguistic issue but also strive to provide logical justifications for each occurrence. The research specifically addresses cases where the meeting is omitted during pauses, analyzing scenarios where one consonant is softened and the other remains firm. The study also explores techniques for overcoming the pronunciation difficulties associated with consonant meeting, such as deletion or vowel insertion.
