Tajweed rule: Izhar Shafawi

الإظهار الشفوي izhar_shafawi
Saying a meem sakinah clearly before any letter except ب and م.

When it applies

ٱلۡحَمۡدُ, عَلَيۡهِمۡ غَيۡرِ, لَكُمۡ فِيهَا.

How to read it

Close the lips for the meem without a nasal hold. Take extra care before ف and و, they're made close to the meem and it's easy to hide it there.
Letters مۡ
