Abstract :Arab linguists have focused on studying the sounds of letters, exploring their articulation points, characteristics, and how they are pronounced. One of the most prominent sounds that has attracted significant research, and study is the sound of the letter "Dhad". This sound has been a subject of extensive debate. Scholars of Tajweed and Qur'anic recitation have given it special attention, as the issue of correctly pronouncing the "Dhad" is present both among Arabs and others who have not learned how to pronounce it properly. Modern linguists have claimed that the original, classical pronunciation of the "Dhad" has evolved and is no longer used correctly, which is the main reason for this study. The importance of this research lies in addressing the many and varied errors in the pronunciation of the letter "Dhad." this study aims to understand the nature of the errors in this sound, examine claims about its transformation, investigate the correct pronunciation of the classical "Dhad," and determine its proper articulation point and characteristics. The study also seeks to rectify the linguistic mistakes associated with this sound. It should be noted that studies on this topic are abundant, both ancient and modern, and range from those that focus on the specific words containing "Dhad" or "Dha"to those clarifying the rules regarding its articulation and characteristics.
