A2HW3: Write Surah AnNaas - Practice Rule of Hamza Tul Wasl

We have learnt 5 reading rules so far and worked hard on reviewing them couple of weeks ago.

For the rule of "Hamza tul Wasl", teacher shared following handout in the class to practice this rule in Quran Suraat (chapter).

Your homework is to write the last chapter of Quran (Chapter 114 - The Mankind).  You can find it in your green book or you can find it here at quran.com

• It has 5 verses so each verse should be written individually on one line
• Also practice reading this surah.  You can do so at quran.com or House Of Quran (be sure to choose Chapter 114 in the drop down in the top bar).  Reflect about how Hamza tul Wasl is being used and read in this Surah.  This is one of the chapters using this rule abunduntly

Please let me know if you have any questions.  I will send you a text message as well
