3. What is Madd-Al-Asli?
Letters with Harakaat on them are prolonged if they are followed by their corresponding Haroof-ul-Madd.
Such type of elongation is called “The Original Madd” or Madd Al-Asli.

5. Reading Madd Al-Asli
A simple Harakah (Fat-hah, dhamma or kasrah) is not elongated at all – it is read for one “beat” or one “count” only.
Madd-Al-Asli, on the other hand, is elongated two counts, i.e. twice that of a normal Harakah.
The difference between the two is like the difference between saying “ba” and “baa”
