When a sâkin ن at the end of a word is followed by ر ، ل or م ،it gets totally assimilated to the following letter(1). To indicate this, the letters ر ، ل and م carry shaddah, e.g.,
مِنۡ لَّدُنۡكَ is pronounced : mil ladunka (not : min ladunka).
مِنۡ رُسُلِنَا is pronounced : mir rusulinâ (not : min rusulinâ).
مِنۡ مَسَدٍ is pronounced : mim masad (not : min masad).
Read the following keeping in mind the rule of the assimilation of sâkin nûn:
هُمُ ٱلۡمُفۡسِدُونَ وَلَـٰكِن لَّا یَشۡعُرُونَ
هُمُ ٱلۡمُفۡسِدُونَ وَلَـٰكِن لَّا یَشۡعُرُونَ
اَنۡ رَّاٰہُ اسۡتَغۡنٰی
اَنۡ رَّاٰہُ اسۡتَغۡنٰی
وَمَا اَنۡزَلَ اللّٰـەُ مِنَ السَّمَآءِ مِنۡ مَآءٍ فَاَحۡیَا بِـەِ الۡاَرۡضَ بَعۡدَ مَوۡتِھَا
وَمَا اَنۡزَلَ اللّٰـەُ مِنَ السَّمَآءِ مِنۡ مَآءٍ فَاَحۡیَا بِـەِ الۡاَرۡضَ بَعۡدَ مَوۡتِھَا
(1) This change happens in English also, e.g., illegal for inlegal, immortal for inmortal, irregular for inregular.
You know that the double dammah the double fathah and the double kasrah known as the tanwin are pronouncced un, an and in respectively. So the above-mentioned rule of assimilation applies to the tanwin also. When the tanwin is followed by ر ، ل or م the ن of the tanwin is assimilated to the following letter, e.g.,
وَیۡلٌ لِّکُلِّ is pronounced : wail-ul li-kulli (not : wail-un li-kulli)
خَیۡرٌ مِّنۡ is pronounced : khair-um min (not : khair-un min)
رَبِّ رَّحِیۡمٍ is pronounced : rabb-ir rahim (not : rabb-in rahim)
