1In the science of Tajweed, how many throat letters (Huruf al-Halq) trigger the rule of Izhar Halqi (إظهار حلقي) when following a Nun Sakin or Tanween?

A.4 letters

B.6 letters

C.8 letters

D.15 letters

Explanation: There are exactly six throat letters (Huruf al-Halq) that cause Izhar Halqi: Hamzah (ء), Ha (هـ), 'Ayn (ع), Ha (ح), Ghayn (غ), and Kha (خ). When a Nun Sakin or Tanween is followed by any of these letters, it must be pronounced clearly without nasalization (Ghunnah).

2Which letter causes the rule of Iqlab (إقلاب) when it appears immediately after a Nun Sakin (نْ) or Tanween?

A.Mim (م)

B.Waw (و)

C.Ba (ب)

D.Lam (ل)

Explanation: Iqlab literally means 'to convert or turn'. In Tajweed, whenever a Nun Sakin or Tanween is followed by the single letter Ba (ب), the Nun sound is converted into a hidden Mim (م) with Ghunnah (nasalization).

3Which group of four Arabic letters constitutes the letters of Idgham with Ghunnah (إدغام بغنة)?

A.Ya, Nun, Mim, Waw (ي, ن, م, و)

B.Lam, Ra, Mim, Nun (ل, ر, م, ن)

C.Hamzah, Ha, 'Ayn, Ha (ء, هـ, ع, ح)

D.Qaf, Ta, Ba, Jim (ق, ط, ب, ج)

Explanation: The four letters of Idgham with Ghunnah are combined in the mnemonic word 'Yanmu' (ينمو): Ya (ي), Nun (ن), Mim (م), and Waw (و). When Nun Sakin or Tanween is followed by any of these letters across two words, merging occurs with a 2-harakat nasal hum.

4How many letters in the Arabic alphabet belong to the rule of Ikhfa Haqiqi (إخفاء حقيقي) for Nun Sakin and Tanween?

A.6 letters

B.10 letters

C.12 letters

D.15 letters

Explanation: There are 15 letters of Ikhfa Haqiqi, represented by the first letter of each word in the famous poem line: 'Sif tha thana kam jada shakhsun qad sama, dum tayyiban zid fi tuqa da' zalima' (ص, ذ, ث, ك, ج, ش, ق, س, د, ط, ز, ف, ت, ض, ظ). When Nun Sakin or Tanween precedes any of these, it is pronounced with a light nasal concealment.

5What rule of Mim Sakin (ميم ساكنة) applies when a Mim Sakin (مْ) is followed by the letter Ba (ب)?

A.Izhar Shafawi (إظهار شفوي)

B.Ikhfa Shafawi (إخفاء شفوي)

C.Idgham Mithlayn (إدغام مثلين)

D.Qalqalah Kubra (قلقلة كبرى)

Explanation: When Mim Sakin is followed by the letter Ba (ب), the rule is Ikhfa Shafawi (labial concealment). The reciter closes the lips lightly without heavy pressing and pronounces the Mim with Ghunnah, as in 'Tarmeehim bi-hijarah' (تَرْمِيهِم بِحِجَارَةٍ).

6According to the predominant opinion of Imam Ibn al-Jazari and al-Khalil ibn Ahmad, how many specific articulation points (Makharij al-Huruf) exist in the human vocal tract?

A.14 Makharij

B.16 Makharij

C.17 Makharij

D.28 Makharij

Explanation: According to Imam Ibn al-Jazari and al-Khalil ibn Ahmad, there are 17 specific articulation points (Makharij Khassah) distributed across five major general areas (Makharij 'Ammah): Al-Jawf, Al-Halq, Al-Lisan, Ash-Shafatayn, and Al-Khayshum.

7Which letters originate from the general articulation area known as Al-Jawf (الجوف - the empty cavity of the mouth and throat)?

A.The three letters of elongation / Madd (Alif, Waw, and Ya)

B.The six throat letters (Hamzah, Ha, 'Ayn, Ha, Ghayn, Kha)

C.The four lip letters (Ba, Mim, Waw, Fa)

D.The whistling letters (Sad, Seen, Zay)

Explanation: Al-Jawf (الجوف) refers to the open space in the throat and mouth. It has one specific point of articulation producing the three unvowelled letters of Madd (Huruf al-Madd): Alif preceded by Fathah, Waw Sakinah preceded by Dammah, and Ya Sakinah preceded by Kasrah.

8Which mnemonic phrase gathers the five Arabic letters characterized by the Sifah of Qalqalah (قلقلة - echoing/vibrating bounce)?

A.Yarmalun (يرملون)

B.Qutb Jadd (قطب جد)

C.Yanmu (ينمو)

D.Khasa Daghtin Qiz (خص ضغط قظ)

Explanation: The five Qalqalah letters are combined in the phrase 'Qutb Jadd' (قُطْبُ جَدٍّ): Qaf (ق), Ta (ط), Ba (ب), Jim (ج), and Dal (د). When these letters carry a Sukoon, an echoing bounce is produced without adding a vowel.

9Which set of Arabic letters possesses the intrinsic characteristic of Hams (الهمس - continuation of breath during articulation)?

A.Qaf, Ta, Ba, Jim, Dal (ق, ط, ب, ج, د)

B.Sad, Dad, Ta, Za (ص, ض, ط, ظ)

C.Hamzah, Jim, Dal, Qaf, Ta, Ba, Kaf, Ta (أ, ج, د, ق, ط, ب, ك, ت)

D.Fa, Ha, Tha, Ha, Sheen, Kha, Sad, Seen, Kaf, Ta (ف, ح, ث, هـ, ش, خ, ص, س, ك, ت)

Explanation: The letters of Hams (whisper/continuation of breath) are ten, gathered in the phrase 'Fahaththahu shakhsun sakat' (فَحَثَّهُ شَخْصٌ سَكَتَ). All remaining letters possess the opposite attribute of Jahr (clarity/restriction of breath).

10What type of elongation occurs when a letter of Madd is followed by a Hamzah (ء) within the VERY SAME single word (e.g., جَاءَ or السَّمَاءِ)?

A.Madd Muttasil (مد متصل - Connected Elongation)

B.Madd Munfasil (مد منفصل - Separated Elongation)

C.Madd 'Arid li-Sukoon (مد عارض للسكون)

D.Madd Badal (مد بدل - Substitute Elongation)

Explanation: Madd Muttasil (Connected Madd) occurs when the Madd letter and the Hamzah appear in the same word. In the recitation of Hafs 'an 'Asim via Shatibiyyah, its elongation is Wajib (obligatory) for 4 to 5 Harakat (counts).

About the Dakhil Examination Exam

The Dakhil Examination is the nationwide public secondary school completion assessment conducted by the Bangladesh Madrasah Education Board (BMEB) for Grade 10 madrasah students. Recognized as fully equivalent to the Secondary School Certificate (SSC) conferred by general education boards, the Dakhil curriculum uniquely integrates foundational Islamic sciences (Quran Majid & Tajweed, Hadith Sharif & Fiqh, Arabic 1st & 2nd Papers, and Islamic History) with the national modern curriculum (General Mathematics, General Science or Physics/Chemistry/Biology, English, ICT, and Bangla). A passing Dakhil result qualifies students for admission to Alim (Higher Secondary Certificate equivalent) or mainstream higher secondary colleges and polytechnic institutes across Bangladesh. Official BMEB papers are delivered in Bangla and Arabic as mixed MCQ/Creative Question papers with practicals for science subjects; this free bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation, not an official translation or format simulation.

Assessment

The Dakhil examination is administered annually across nationwide examination centers under the Bangladesh Madrasah Education Board. Standard 100-mark theoretical subjects are divided into two distinct components: Part 1 - Multiple Choice Questions (30 marks, 30 minutes, evaluated via OMR sheets) and Part 2 - Creative Questions (70 marks, 2 hours 30 minutes, where students answer 7 structured questions out of 11 prompts). Science subjects with practical labs feature 25 MCQs (25 mins), 50 CQ marks (2 hrs 35 mins, 5 questions answered out of 8), and 25 practical laboratory marks. Candidates must achieve at least 33% marks separately in both the MCQ and CQ components to pass the subject.

Time Limit

3 hours per subject paper (30 minutes for OMR MCQ + 2 hours 30 minutes for Creative Question written paper).

Passing Score

Minimum 33% (Grade D / Grade Point 1.00) in each individual subject, with separate pass marks required for the MCQ and CQ written components. Grading scale: A+ (80-100%, GP 5.0), A (70-79%, GP 4.0), A- (60-69%, GP 3.5), B (50-59%, GP 3.0), C (40-49%, GP 2.0), D (33-39%, GP 1.0), and F (<33%, GP 0.0). Overall achievement is awarded as a GPA out of 5.00.

Exam Fee

Official board registration and center fees are determined annually by BMEB (typically ranging between BDT 1,500 and BDT 2,500), collected through registered madrasahs during the form fill-up window. (Bangladesh Madrasah Education Board (BMEB), Ministry of Education, Government of Bangladesh)

Dakhil Examination Study Tips from Top Performers

1Master Tajweed rules and Arabic grammatical case endings (I'rab) thoroughly, as objective questions frequently test specific letter groupings (e.g. throat letters for Izhar, Yarmalun for Idgham) and grammatical functions (e.g. Fa'il vs Maf'ul).

2Memorize exact Fiqh criteria, including the 4 Fard acts of Wudu, 3 Fard acts of Ghusl, Nisab thresholds for Zakah (7.5 tola gold / 52.5 tola silver), and specific conditions that trigger Sujud al-Sahw in Salah.

3Practice solving General Mathematics formulas and Science numericals within timed limits to build speed for the 30-minute OMR MCQ component on exam day.

4Review historical timelines for both the Seerah of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and the Khulafa al-Rashidun era, noting key treaties, battles, and administrative reforms.

Frequently Asked Questions
