It is essential to place the tongue in the correct position to ensure the proper pronunciation of the letter “Raa” and to avoid any mistakes in Quranic recitation. When pronouncing the “Raa” sound in Quran, the tongue should be pressed firmly against the alveolar ridge while the air is expelled from the mouth, causing a vibration that produces the “Raa” sound. This area is called the alveolar ridge, which is a bony ridge that runs along the upper jawbone, just behind the upper front teeth.
