This word appears only in its singular form and it is a feminine word–it ends on the letter ''ta marbuta'' (ة). When a word is pronounced without the case markings ('iraab) and/or outside of the an idaafa, the ''ta marbuta'' at the end is not pronounced, so it is read as ''jannah'', not ''jannat''. So when using this word in English, it is basically always read as ''jannah''. But when reading whole sentences from the Qur'an in Arabic, the ''ta marbuta'' would be read as "t" unless the word cames at the end of the line. | This word appears only in its singular form and it is a feminine word–it ends on the letter ''ta marbuta'' (ة).
