Symbols In The Arabic Language

Category:Introduction Category:Harakaat Category:Madd Letters

There are many symbols in the Arabic language you need to know. Why because when your reading a word and you don't know how to pronounce a symbol you will say the word wrong. Even pronouncing one symbol incorrectly you can change the whole word. There are three Harakaat, Fatthah, Dummah, and Kassra. The Fatthah is a line above a letter, it makes the aa sound. The Dummah is looks just like the Arabic letter wow but is smaller and is above the letter, it makes the oo sound. The Kassra is a line that is under the letter, it makes the ea sound. Madd letters are an Alif with no harakat or a Sakinah letter proceeded by a letter with a matching harakat. So an Alf and a letter with a Fatthah. A Ya and a letter with a Kassra. And a wow with a letter with a Dammah. When you see a Madd Letter you stretch it.
