Noon Saakin & Tanween Rules

Iqlab (Conversion) إِقْلَاب

Convert the noon to a meem — when followed by ب.

When a noon saakin or tanween is followed by ba, the noon is converted into a hidden meem with a ghunnah of two counts. Visually the Mushaf marks this with a small meem (ࢽ) above the noon or in place of the tanween.
