How much should one stretch the last portion of an ayah, for example. 'alameen' or 'raheem.' I am assuming one of the rules of madd apply, but which one? Secondly, when a stop is made at then end of the ayah, how much and to what extent is the last letter articulated. For example, the noon in alameen, does the tongue stick at the point of articulation or is is released once it is pronounced. Some people barely articulate the last letter, others make a qalaqala out of it when there is no qalqala.
