What is the difference in the ghunnah of ikhfaa’, substantiating your statement with Quranic examples?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The ghunnah (nasalization) follows the letter that comes after it with ikhfaa' (concealment). If the letter is from the letters of istilaa' (elevation), the ghunnah is made heavy (mufakhkhamah).
