التعريف

تُغَنُّ النُّونُ الْمُشَدَّدَةُ وَالْمِيمُ الْمُشَدَّدَةُ بِغُنَّةٍ بِمِقْدَارِ حَرَكَتَيْنِ

The Noon and Meem, when they carry a Shaddah, are recited with Ghunnah for 2 counts.

Important: the Ghunnah is an obligatory nasal sound emitted through the nose, held for exactly 2 harakat when the Noon or Meem is doubled with Shaddah.

Reminder: Shaddah means the letter is doubled. Hold the sound with Ghunnah for 2 counts.
