In this short instructional video, the speaker highlights a widespread error that many reciters make when reading the last verse of Surah al‑Ikhlas, specifically the phrase “وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ.” He explains that some people incorrectly pronounce the word “كُفُوًا” with a sukun on the letter ف (reading it as “كفْوا”), which is not the standard Egyptian recitation (Hafs ‘an ‘Asim). The speaker clarifies that the correct Egyptian reading uses a damma on the ف, and while other qirā’āt may have a sukun on the ف, those should only be employed by those who have fully mastered those alternative readings. He urges listeners to be mindful of this simple yet important detail, to stick to the well‑known Hafs ‘an ‘Asim reading unless they possess comprehensive knowledge of other recitations, and to correct the mistake in their own practice.
