AL Iktilaas

Ikhtilaas is the snatching of a vowel quickly so that a little departs and more remains. It is also called hiding. There is only one place in the Quran where the reading of Hafs an Aasim has the possibility of ikhtilaas, in the word "yusuf" in Surah Yusuf verse 11, which can be read with either ikhtilaas of the dhammah on the first letter or idgham of the two letters. Both ikhtilaas and idgham share the characteristic of dividing the vowel by removing part of it and leaving the other part.
