Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatu lilahi wa barakatuh

One of the takhfeem rules of the "ra" states that if the letter "ra" is saakinah and the letter before the "ra" is also saakin and the letter preceding that saakin letter bears a fatha then the "ra" should be read with takhfeem. Therefore, and as the perfect example, is the "ra" in the five verses of surat Al Qadr (surah 97) read with takhfeem when stopping at each verse and not when continuing?
