Read Arabic in 2 Hours (Complete Beginner's Guide)

If you have been searching for a guide that teaches you how to read Arabic, then you have found it. My promise in this video is simple. If you go through this video and use the free practice course that I have prepared for you, you will learn the Arabic alphabet pronunciation, the Arabic letters, and the different concepts that allow you to finally read Arabic. Everything you need is completely free and the only thing you need to bring is the willingness to sit down, practice, and finish it. By the end, you will be able to read Arabic with vowels and diiocritics like the text that you see right now on screen. And know that reading Arabic is the very first step to learning the language. So if you want to learn the language later on and whether you continue studying with us at Andrew Institute or somewhere else, every Arabic student has to learn this first. There is no way around it. To make that as easy as possible, I have created a completely free practice course for you. So you have to go here, put your name and your email and it will give you access to the platform. That's where you will find all the practice material you will need. You see, when I was learning Arabic, I didn't have YouTube. I didn't have free online courses. I didn't have flashcards like the ones that I have created for you. I had to teach myself. And I still have the notebooks that I used back then. This is the notebook where I wrote in about 2011 the first Arabic letters ever. later I was writing notes as you can see fully in Arabic to show you that it is actually possible and today alhamdulillah in 2026 I'm able to build these kinds of resources that I wish I had when I started my only hope here is that you learn how to read Arabic that you go on to read the Quran and that every word that you read becomes a source of reward for both of us with Allah's permission so please take this seriously a lot of time and effort and money went into creating these free resources and it will be a shame if you watch only a few minutes and you never finish it. The only thing that I ask from you is this. When you have finished and you can finally read the Arabic language, come back to this video and let me know in the comments that you can finally read. That will make me very happy and very proud of putting this together and the little Arabic learning community that we have created in our YouTube channel. Now, let me quickly tell you how this works. This video right here will teach you every Arabic reading concept one step at a time. Whether is the letters, whether is its pronunciation, whether it's the different vowels, whether it's the shed, the sukun, the fat, the kasra, you will learn the Arabic letters, how they connect together and all of these different concepts. But understanding a concept is only half of learning. The other half is actually practice. And that is why after each section of this video, you will go to this free course that I have created for you and practice that exact concept using interactive flashcards that I have prepared for you until you can use that concept comfortably. Then come back here for the next lesson and the next concept that we are going to learn until you have covered all the concepts. So you will be moving in between this video and the course uh that I have prepared for you with a flashc card so you can practice everything. If you do that I promise you you will be able to read Arabic by the end of it. So enjoy and happy learning. Before we start we are going to talk about important things to know before learning the Arabic language. Especially as a English speaker, you should know that the Arabic alphabet is actually easier than the English alphabet. So there's four things that I want you to know before we start. The first one is that Arabic, the Arabic alphabet is actually phonetic, meaning everything you see, you read. As for the English language, for example, if you pay attention to these different words, especially as a as as a English not being my my language, I can tell you that this is definitely a something that messes up with your head and is it's tricky in the beginning. But in the English language for example you have words like through then you have tough then you have though. So even though these are the same letters, somebody who doesn't know English, the first thing he would say, okay, so how do you pronounce O and U? Okay, so the and the but but as you can see in English, even though it's the same letter, the same letters, you pronounce them differently. Through, tough, though. As for the Arabic language, this doesn't happen. Whatever you see is going to have the same sound most of the times. It never changes and that's how it stays. The second thing that I want you to know about the Arabic alphabet is that you write and read from the right to the left. So we write al like this from right to left. In the beginning, it will be a little tricky, but later on you will get used to it. Likewise, when you open the Quran, you will see that you open it from the left to the right and you flip the pages from left to right being the being because we we read from the right to the left. The third thing that I want you to know is that letters have different shapes. Just like in the English language, you might see a capital letter A and a lowercase letter A and they look slightly different but they are the same letter. In the Arabic language we have the same thing but a letter can have four different shapes. So first you are going to have for example with letter B you're going to have the first shape which is by itself. By itself the letter B looks like this. Then the letter B in the beginning of a word looks like this. Then in the middle of the word is going to look like this. looking at this right here. Okay. And then at the end of the word is going to look like this like the full letter. So here instead of instead of uh ignore this right here this will be like this basically. So you have four different shapes by it the letter by itself. You have the beginning of the letter. You have the middle of the letter and you have the end of the letter. And the fourth and last thing that I want you to know for now is that the vowels in the Arabic language are symbols instead of letters as we have in the English language. So in the English language you have uh a, e, o, u, i as vowels. In the Arabic language is just symbols. So, for example, you're going to see on top of a letter a symbol. This makes it makes it sound like h r fu. But it could be as well instead of bu with this letter, it could be ba, b and boo. Okay, we're going to get into it. I'm just giving you a a general understanding now. That is the fourth thing that I want you to know. So again the four principles and the four fun facts or interesting facts about the Arabic alphabet that I want you to know is first of all that the Arabic language is phonetic. Everything you see you read. The second thing is that you write from the right to left. The third thing is that vowels are symbols or the third thing the third thing is that letters have four different shapes by itself in the beginning in the middle and at the end. And the fourth thing is that vowels are actually symbols and not letters. So now that you understand how the Arabic alphabet works, now we can start actually learning how to read. And by the end of this video, you are going to be reading the Arabic language. If you don't, I want you to report the video. And if you are, I want you to subscribe, give us a like, and tell me in the comments that you can finally read the Arabic language. Now, let's go with the first part. The first part is where we are going to start going over the actual alphabet. Now, first of all, I don't want you to get overwhelmed and and think that you have to memorize everything from the very beginning and think and start feeling like this too complicated for me. Just take it slowly and and take it easy. Take a notebook and start taking your own notes and try to actually write them as you see me write the letters as well. Now in the Arabic alphabet, in the Arabic alphabet there is 28 letters. You might hear that there is 29 and that is fine as well is is is correct and I will tell you in a little bit very quickly why that's the reason. But let's say that there's 28 letters. Now it's easier to learn the Arabic letters when you group them by shape. A lot of them have similar shapes. And usually what makes you recognize the letter is the dots. Whether it has one dot on top, two dot, two dots, two dots on top, a dot at the bottom, whatever it might be. So let's start with the first group. The first group we are going to have the first letter in the alphabet is al if and the sound is a not a or but e is in between a a full a and a is e al if alif al if okay the second one is ba B like bat like bat in English bat. The third one that we are going to take here is T which is the same shape with two dots on top. And the fourth one is going to be the same but three dots on top. F like think like think. T like like t ba like bat. Al if like a like the sound ah. Now the next group that we are going to take is the shape of of ala which looks like this. A little wave on top and the body ha. Okay. And first before this one comes gym then then. Okay. So gym like J like gym like like going to the gym. Gym gym. Then ha ha ha. Don't get too overwhelmed yet with the pronunciation. We're not looking for per perfect pronunciation. Just try and say it after me. Ha ha. like okay don't say okay and like you're clearing your throat this is the ne the next shape group the next group we have is Dell which the sound is D. So D is the name of the letter the sound is D like like the D in in the English language and its brother or sister is which with a dot on top like this in English. This this val that's the name of the letter. Okay. And the sound is like this in English. So dal and dthe like a dv like this this and that. The next one is which goes like this and then it's brother or sister which is the same with a dot on top. As you can see, their body is long and to the bottom. And Zane as Zane as well. So Zane Zane is the name of the letter Z like like the like the Z in the Z in uh in English. Don't roll it too much. Especially if you Spanish and and Spanish is the first your first language like me. Don't like Rammon but raman alman. If it's a little diff difficult in the beginning it's normal. Don't worry too much about the pronunciation. Now I just want you to recognize the letters. So this is and if and this is zz and the name of the letter is zen. Zra zra. The next group is and aen. Okay. So two little waves in a big body. So seen like s in English. This is the name of the letter seen. The sound is s. And sheen like sh in English. Sheen is the name of the letter. The sound is s. I mean sorry sha sha sha. So sa sha sa sha s sha like the name Sasha. So seen as sen as sh seen as sen as sh sa. The next one is Assad Assad. And then you have which fun fact about is the only sound the only letter or sound found in the Arabic language is the only language that has it. So pronouncing this one might be a little bit tricky which makes sense. So s don't do like a lot of people do with their mouth. No need to do this with your with your mouth. And as you can as you can hear from my voice is a little bit more uh strong when you pronounce it. It's not s it's s and l is not the like like we have seen earlier like that but ba saw and the name of the letters for the name of the letter is the name of the letter for is bad. So s is the name s the you will find it in the in inah fat at the end of the fat say you will find in in fat as well. Okay. So s then we have the same group which have the same the same body as law but with a antenna t and v t v. The name of the letter is t for this one and the sound as well. Ta. And this one is vad. Okay. Va. This is the sound of the letter va. Tva. And as you can pay attention to how I'm pronouncing as well is a little bit stronger as well. It's not t and that. But it's tova. Again, no need to do your mouth like V. But but but make sure that you pronounce it like t and v va tva. The next group is this one is a little bit of a tricky one for pronouncing in the beginning, but then you're going to get used to it. It looks like this like a three reversed. So this is this is the name of the letter and this is al okay try after me. Allah says in the Quran as well al Alhamdulillah. And then you have which is Allah inah as well. So this is this is okay. Again, I'm not trying to make it to make you memorize it yet. Right now, it's just about recognizing it a little bit and know and hearing the pronunciation of it. And later on, we are going to get to go a little bit more in depth with it. The next group is F like F in English like the F the sound of the F f. And then you have al as you can see f has a long body. F and you have not K but F and the name of the letter is F. The next group is K. The sound of cat. Next one is la like like the L in English. The next one is meme non. So you have cat K. Okay. La. So as you can see cat this one is this one is like cat. It's not as we just I was just seen here but K. This one is la like the L in English. This one is like like the the M in English. And this one is noon like the like the N in English. Noon. Okay. Okay, the sounds are ka. Okay, these ones are quite easy. K, la because English has already these sounds. And then the last three we have h. Okay, I'm going to write it again. So, pay attention. I start here. I go up. I go down. And I close it like this. H. Then we have Wow. Wow. H. Wow. And then we have Yeah. H wow. Yeah. So h don't mistake it with ha which we took in the first few groups in the first group actually I mean in the second group this one is ha the other one is ha this one is ha okay again don't get too overwhelmed with the pronunciation in the beginning it's normal that you're not going to get it from the very beginning at least know the nuance and uh and and that this one okay this one is a little different the pronunciation and whatnot. So this one is H. This one is W. Okay. And the name of the letter is W. But then the sound is W. And this one is Yah like the Y in English. Ya. This one is W like the W. Wa. This one is Ha. Now why did we say in the beginning that some people say that there are 29 letters instead of 28. So these are the 28 that we just took. These are the 28. However, sometimes you will see that people or different alphabets, different books, different curriculums, they add the letter hamza which is something that looks like this. Okay, this is letter Hamza. And the sound is just a a. And if you pay attention in the beginning, if you pay attention in the first letter of the alphabet, it has this letter hamza on top. Okay? And sometimes you will see the al if it comes by itself without it. And sometimes it comes with it. So sometimes if it comes without it, it's it has a particular sound. If it comes with it, it has another different sound. But this is the reason why some people separate it. Some people they don't separate it. So you can say there's 28 letters in the alphabet or 29. If you consider this as a separate letter letter because as we are going to see later on with the vowels hamza has a e and u can have different different vowels. So don't get too overwhelmed with that. I just wanted to give you a side note and let's just keep it as 28 letters. So now that we took the 28 letters let's do in within the part one a little a little session practice session. So, we are going to go over all of them and we are going to pronounce them. And I want you to say it after me. Don't just watch the video, but say it after me. Try it. So, first we have letter alif. And and I'm just going to go with the sounds now. Instead of saying the name the names of the letters, I'm going to pronounce the sounds. So, do it after me. This is a a a Next one is ba ba ba like bat b. Next one is t t like t a b t. The last one in the first group is the like think. The like think. A ba t a ba t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t. So if in your mind you try to link it to the actual to an actual word in the English language, it's going to be easier to memorize. So ah is the first letter of the alphabet. Just link it to a as alpha. A bat for bat. Ta for t and th for think. Ab bat t think. Ab bat t think. A ba t ab a if you get this right then we are getting serious now because many times there is an example that's given that says man you don't even know you don't you don't even know as in you don't know no Arabic so if you get past this now you cannot be from the from that group anymore that don't know Arabic. So, aba. Perfect. Now, let's go to the next group. The next group is the nicely shaped group. So, we have the J for gym. Gym. I go to the gym with this letter. Gem. I go to the gym for this letter. So, J. This is the haha letter. Ha ha ha haha. Imagine when looking at this letter, imagine this letter smiling almost. It's almost like the letter is smiling. Haha. So, and then you have the throat clearing letter. So I go to the gym with this letter. So j I laugh with this letter haha. And I clear my throat with this letter. And the only thing that makes the difference is the dot. If I go to the gym with it, the dot is in the middle. J. If I laugh with this one, his the the mouth is just wide open. So, ha ha ha haha if I clear my throat with it is because I have a little a little dot here which is a which is a hair in my throat. So, it's I'm trying to get the dot of my throat. So, Ja. Perfect. Let's take the next group which is the equivalent to a D. And so just imagine it. Imagine it like this. If we were to to to write. Okay. So this is the the so that the the goes like this, right? So now if we just close it a little bit is a D or this will be this will be an actual B actually. So just imagine it like this. Okay. So this is a da d the so the same as letter d in the English language and the for this this this that the that the A the for this this da for da da da. So the two sounds is da and the da and the da and the. Next one is like the close to the letter R in in English raz like the sound of a snake. Imagine this as being a snake, a python. There's the head and there's the body. And it's just standing up like this. Or the sound of a bee as well. Or the sound of a snake. Z. Okay. Soz razor z. The next one is the very simple one. This is Sasha. You remember Sasha? This is Sa and this is Sha. Sa and Sha. Okay. So these two imagine her as Sasha. Her name is Sasha. So Sa and Sha. Sa and Sha. Sa for sea. Imagine the waves of the sea. Sea sea. Okay. And this is imagine that the sea has the waves and it's raining. So it's pouring water into the sea because it's raining with the three dots on top. So this is sea because it has waves. And this is she because it's pouring water into the sea. So it's raining. And both together are sasha. Sa and sha. The next one is saw and as you can see from my pronunciation is a little bit stronger. So you say s and the and this is the unique one and this is why they call the Arabic language the the language of the because it is the unique letter. So sa s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n da da da sa ba sa ba sa ba. Next one we have to like a t but pronounced heavy. T T. Okay. T. So imagine a T the opposite way. And then we have the the so close to this. But this this is this. This my brother. This. So imagine maybe a Persian person or I don't know who has this accent. Think of somebody who has this accent. This I want this. I want this my brother. So the va is this. VP vp. Next one is the tricky one for English speaking people which is you have and you have so this is close to clearing your throat but not really. It's more like when you when you gargo with water because your throat hurts or whatever it might be, you go like same thing with this letter. And this one is next one very easy is F as the letter F in English F. And as you can see it has a long body like this F. And this one is the Okay. Okay. So, as you can see, it's like K but said a little bit stronger instead of K. So, F. Now, the next one we actually have the K like the K like the key in English. So imagine this maybe as a key and this is the the the the keyhole where you put the key and this is the the door. K key K. And then you have la like an like the letter L in English. La. And then you have ma ma like the letter M in English. Ma ma. And then you have na. Na like the letter N in English. Na na which is a open body like this. Maybe a bath a bathtub with a dot with a drop of water falling into it. Okay. N km. And then the last group we have ha where yeah. So h as we seen in the beginning similar to but this one is coming more from from here from your chest going out. Okay. So you you bring the air from here and you take the letter out from from deep inside of your throat. So you go Wow. Like w a wa ya like the Y in English. W I mean sorry. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So this one is Yeah. Yeah. When you see this, you think of Yeah. and two dots. Yeah. And two dots. So, h yeah. So, now that you have gone over the Arabic alphabet, what you are going to do is you're going to go to the Arabic reading course and you are going to start from the beginning of the letters and you are going to go into the practice section and you're going to start practicing. So the whole idea is that you see a letter as I see here al if and you test yourself do you know it or not al if then review the end >> alif. >> Okay perfect and here you tell if you knew it instantly or you knew after thinking or if it needs revision or if you forgot. And the whole idea is that you need to three rounds of knew them all instantly for you to master this section and go into the next one. So for example, if I say al if I knew instantly but then ba >> ba >> I knew it after thinking a little bit then that letter gets added into the weak letters. And so once I once I finish this section, I check the weak letters and I revise the weak letters. But the goal is to do for three rounds all of the letters, knew them instantly. Once you have mastered it and you knew it instantly, then you can move into the next section into the letter shapes. So now that we took the letters, if you remember in the beginning we said that letters have four different shapes and and that is important to know and is important to to understand because for example in the English language what are we going to to do in the English language? you're going to write for example uh h pto right and as you can see the letters are separated here so as long as you recognize you know the the letter O and the S and the P and the I then you are going to be able to recognize the letters. Now sometimes though in in in cursive for example if you write in cursive uh you might write like this right or hus to not even wait right something like this hospital I didn't write like this since I maybe 10 years old. So in cursive or or when you write like this together, it's similar to how uh the Arabic language works. The Arabic language works like this kind of all the letters they get connected to to the next letter. So so this is why in the beginning we said that so that's why in the beginning we said that letters in the Arabic language can be recognized or can have different shapes. if it's in the beginning of the word, if it's in the middle of the word, if it's in the end of the word, or if it's just standing alone. So now we took and you hopefully recognize uh or at least a little bit the letters when they are alone. So now we are going to work on recognizing the letters when they are in the beginning, middle and end because that's when we are able to start decoding and we are able to start reading. Now before I start showing you the letters and how they connect to other letters, how they look in the beginning, middle and end, we have to mention though that there are a few letters that after them they don't connect. So in general all letters in the Arabic alphabet connect after them connect to the letter after them. However, you have these letters which are you have alif. You have the da and the the for this. You have and you have. All of these letters in the alphabet which are not too many six they don't connect with the letter after it after it. So so keep this in mind these letters it's going to be easy to recognize them because because they don't like to connect to the letter after them. Now let's get into how do letters look in the beginning middle and end. So first of all we have al if. So al if is very simple because in the beginning it just looks like this and it doesn't connect with what comes after it. Now if it's in the in the middle it will come from from some from another letter. So it will have a body at the bottom but then because it doesn't connect after it. just going to look like like this in the middle, right? With a space and then at the at the end again it would look like this. So al is very simple. Now al which is the next letter in the beginning it looks like it's its beginning shape and then the dot comes right here in the middle it's going to it's going to come from another letter and you're going to see something like this with a dot at the bottom and at the And it will be easy to recognize because it will have its own shape. Now for the T and the T the same thing very easy to recognize because all the only thing that would change that would change is two dots at on the top. Same thing in the middle. two dots on top. Same thing at the end. It's just gonna be two dots on top. Ta and T. So here the tricky ones are in the middle. Same thing with the will be three dots on top, three dots in the middle and at the end it will look something like this. The okay so this is the first group and this how it looks in the middle. So, so pay attention to it. Remember the body is in the middle. They just look a like a little like a little small pyramid. And what makes the difference? Will make the difference is ba and th. Now we are going to the gym with letter J. So in the beginning letter J is going to you're going to see the the head of it. So it's going to look something like this J. And it's going to have the the dot at the bottom. Then you're going to to see in the middle it's going to come like this. And then you're going to see the head. J and at the end you are going to actually see the body. So it's going to be easy to recognize J and J. Same thing with letter. So you're going to see the body in the beginning. In the middle is going to go like this. And at the end you're going to see the body. And same thing with the throat cleaning one. You're going to see the body in the be in the beginning in the middle and at the end you are going to actually see the body. H. So J in the beginning looks like this. H in the middle looks like this. At the end looks like this. The next one is those that don't connect. So we have the for for D in English in the beginning. Okay. in the middle is just going to come from somewhere and it's going to go like the like this and it's not going to connect after it. That's going to be the middle and then the N will be easy because it has the same body. Sorry, I'm almost doing a So, same thing with the for this is going to come like this in the middle. And like this the now next one is going to be the and z which are from those that don't connect either. So in the beginning it's going to go like this and and it's not going to connect to to what's next. So that will be more in the middle. In the beginning it will be by itself and in the end it will be by itself. Same thing with a in the beginning it will be the actual body in the middle is easy to recognize because it doesn't connect and at the end it will be by itself coming from another word. So this line I'm showing you that that there's a space so it doesn't connect. here as well there is a space so it doesn't connect to the to the next word that's why I'm writing this like this so this will be the beginning this will be the middle this will be the end raz raz raz and ra and z now we're coming back to sasha you remember sasha for the sea and when the and he's when when it's raining he goes like so here we have we have the beginning which will be the actual C waves. So you're going to see something like like this. You're going to see the C waves in the beginning. In the middle it would be just the C waves as well and at the end it would be the actual body like this. Not the best handwriting. So sa sa sa then you have sha when it when it rains it pours. So So we go you're going to see something like this raining in the sea. Then we then we then in the middle you're going to see something like this. Then in the end you are going to see the actual body of Sha and both together they are Sasha. Okay. Sha in the middle as you can see not too different. Just just missing the body. Now we have sod. So sod in the beginning again is going to be the head. Saw in the middle you will see the head as well. And at the end you will see the actual body. Then for blood you will see in the beginning as well the head in the middle you will see the head. Oops. Sorry this is the end. So scratch this one. In the beginning, but in the middle you're going to see like this and at the end you are going to see the actual body of the so and so and so. So pay attention to the middle. That's the trickiest one. That's the trickiest one in the middle and in the beginning as well. So, if you just remember how the head looks, you're going to be fine. Now, the next one has a similar body, which is the T and the V. So, in the beginning, you're going to see as well the head In the middle you're going to see and in the end you're going to see the body as well for same thing with you remember this this this my brother this okay maybe in like a Russian accent Maybe. So this but this is going to be a and then v. Okay. This is uh this is supposed to be like this va p and va p and va. So pay attention to the middle t and va. Now the next one is the a little bit tricky one for English speakers which is so you are going to see in the beginning the actual head like this in the middle you're going to see this and at the And you are going to see the actual body, but it's going to look like this. So, this is a little bit of a tricky one because is it's almost like a new shape when it's in the middle or the end. And it remember when you gargling water in the middle, you're going to go like this. is gonna have the same shape but with a dot on top. And likewise at the end and now we are going to have the F in English sound with al F in the beginning. F in the middle is just a circle. So you see it was kind of like a tri triangle fat is more like a circle in the beginning with a with a dot on top and then at the end it's just its own body fat. Then with in the beginning is a as well a circle with two dots. In the middle a circle with two dots and at the end is its own body. And the only difference with with the th is that it has more of a body going down. Instead of of a lengthy body like this, it goes down like this. Now, as for the calf, the calf in the beginning, you're going to see it like this. And it's going to be something like this. K in the middle. It's going to be something as well like this. K. And in the end is going to be its own body that we seen earlier. K. But in the middle and in the end, it looks something like this. Ka cat. As for the lamb in the beginning, might trick you with an al if. But the lamb in the beginning looks like this. In the middle, it looks like this connected. So the difference that you that you can make in between this one and the al if is that the al if doesn't connect after it. And then the the N is easy because it has its own body la. Then for the meme in the beginning the meme looks like this. And as and pay attention how I'm writing it by going down. Not up, not a circle up, but down. Same thing here like this. Down. Meme. And then at the end is simple to recognize because it has its own body. Meme. And then noon in the beginning is simple because you go like this noon. You you're going to see the beginning of the body and a noon and a dot in the middle is going to be like this noon. And at the end is going to be like the actual body noon ka ma na. Next one is ala. So ala if you remember earlier we write like this. We start with a line to the top. Then we go a little bit lower than where we started the line. We bring it here. This is the beginning. In the middle is going to look, it has different shapes, but the one that I'm going to show you, I'm going to show you two. Sometimes you are going to see like this. H and sometimes you are going to see it like this. Okay, this is common in the Quran and then at the end is the same thing goes like this. Then at the end it looks like this. Okay, which is which is um which the T can come like this as well. So here I show you the T. Okay. And and we forgot to mention that there is another type of ta that you might see which looks like like this in the N as well. Looks like this. It comes like this and it closes like this T. And so if you remove the these two dots it will be similar to the or it will be the actual H. So a T can finish like this or like this depending on the word. So coming back to the H beginning H middle H of H. Then the wow as we said earlier is from those that don't connect with uh with the word next to it. So in the middle is going to look like this and then the next word is going to come and in the end it's going to look like this. So no no difficulty here. Wow. Wow. Wow. As for the yah. In the beginning, it will come like this. Yeah. In the middle, it will come like this. Yeah. And at the end is going to be easy because you're going to see the body of Yeah. Yeah. Now it's worth mentioning that in the Quran sometimes and this might confuse you confuse you in the beginning because there's different different types of calligraphy. All right. So what I've been writing which is the simplest one is is uh called which is kind of like you know what a computer would write. So in a computer is very simple because you're going to see for example uh you're going to see na and then the letter j. So you're going to see the beginning of the word of the letter n and then j. However, sometimes you will see some calligraphy especially in the Quran they are going to do something like this. So na and ja they are going to put the na on top like this and ja like this. Or sometimes it might you might come across something like like this and then the the dot will be like this na. And so this can happen with all the lettuce that are that are basically just just the kind of uh the same body or close to it similar shape but the dots differ. So some sometimes as well you might see the ba and meme. So let's put together ba and meme. So ba and meim the simple way how I would show you is a ba and a meme, right? Ba and ma. However, you might see it like this. And you might see like this or you might see it like this. B. Okay. So, let me make it a little bit more clear. You might say it like this almost like almost like in on top of the of the actual letter B or BMA. So, so that's just uh good to know. just know it because you know I want you that after this video after we complete everything you are able to open the Quran and actually read words and uh and these might confuse you because the Quran depending on which which print as well it will have different calligraphy. So, so then that is going to come with with practice. But inshallah, my promise is that at the end of this video, you are going to be able to uh to read Arabic. And like I said, if you don't report the video and say in the comments, I I couldn't. It's not It wasn't re It wasn't It wasn't real. But if you can then go ahead and like, subscribe and tell me in the comments what was your experience learning how to read with this video. So now that you have mastered the Arabic alphabet and you have learned about the concept of the different shapes of the letters, you come to this section and you go into the practice of the different shapes. >> You start your practice. Ah sha >> sha >> b >> ya >> and like that. And you have to knew instantly all of them. If you don't know them instantly, then they become into your weak letters and you have to redo the round until you do all of them on the first try and you knew them instantly. And that's how you master all the different concepts in the alphabet in order for you to learn how to read. So now that we have seen the different shapes, the different four shapes of each letter, now is when you are going to start reading. So I'm going to uh slowly inshallah get you get you confident and and start understanding that reading Arabic is actually just putting those letters together. So we are going to start one letter at a time and I'm going to give you a small example and you are going to see that you are going to be able to to read it. So here we have the first four letters if you remember a ba ta and tha and here we have the middle of the letters and here we have the n of the letters okay so take this as a reference and I'm going to write now a small a a small uh word and by taking this as a reference and as a cheat cheat sheet okay you can cheat in this uh in this practice uh you're going to read what I'm going to write. So So look at this letter here. Remember which one is it? A ba ta. So we're going to take Ba and we are going to write here B. And remember remember let's say let's say this letter here the in the middle you're going to say the and remember this letter which was T. And we are going to go like T. Okay. Now read with me. This is B. This is the This is T. bathe bathe. So as you can see now you're reading this is reading Arabic script. Okay. So let's let's take a few examples like this and just and just try and decode it after me. Don't try and guess the word all together. Don't try and go fast. Just go one letter at the time. Ba th ba tha or bathe na. And so as you can see depending where is it in the middle you have to go back and look at okay is it this one is the end this one is the middle this one is the beginning. Okay. So let's take another example. So now taking the letters that we took in the beginning as a reference we so now you know ba and you remember tha. So now let's take one of these letters. Okay. And I'm going to let you guess what did I just write and how and how you read it. So, I'm going to write this one and then this one and then this one. So, I'm going to give you five seconds to try and read this before I tell you. Ba j remember j like going to the gym? Going to the gym because it has a big mouth laughing and clearing your clearing the throat. So okay so now remember these we are going to try and read another word now we have and so now if you remember these letters don't connect after it so we are going to go to the gym and we are going to stop by this And we are going to think the think. So h this think. So try and read it. H the h the h the h the Okay, now let's try another one. Again, those letters that don't connect. So, we are going to the we're going to the going to the gym again. Actually, we said going to the gym here. So this will be ja or ja. So this one we are going to actually we're going to so but then we are going to ra and then we are going to t. So try and read. Now you're reading Arabic and this is how every expert reader started. Now we are back at Sasha. So if you remember the sea because it has waves. Okay, I don't really like this scene. This scene should be like this. Okay, a little bit closer. So sa and sha because it's the sea because it has waves and it's pouring sh so it's raining and together they are sasha. So we are going to use pouring and we are going to use in the beginning we're going to go to the first group and then we're going to use so try and read this. Which one is this? Sha. This one is from the first group. Sha sha ba ra sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh b. Perfect. Next practice. And again, you're not supposed to recognize all of them now. I don't expect you to recognize all the letters and so we are just practicing together. So little by little with repetition it will stick to to uh to your brain and you are going to recognize them uh very fast inshallah. So now we just came from Sasha and we are going to to saw and saw and okay so this is the unique letter in the Arabic language if you remember and we are going to use one of those that don't connect. So we are going to go with the okay da and we are going to in the middle take and we are going to go back to who the b sha d Absha da sha dba. Perfect. Now let's continue the practice with and this brother the this. So this but with an accent the thev the Okay. So we are going to take the fir from the first group we are going to take the if you remember let me see if you remember and then we are going to go to and then we are going to go to where so ba A v S B V and now we have here now we have here the F and group. So we are going to take from the group of Sasha and we are going to take this one and this one. So what is this? T. But what if I add another dot? It becomes sha. Okay, this is an actual word. These act it means apartment. Okay, so soak shak. Perfect. Now we are going to get one of these letters and na. Okay. So we are going to go back to the group of Sasha. We are going to go to to the sea and then we are going to come here. And if you remember this one. So sh Let's take another one here. What about this one? So what is this one? La this one. Ma this one. Na la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la mna. LaMa sha cat la. Moving forward on the last ones. We are going to take an example. If you remember this one from the first group we are going to take. If you remember one dot at the bottom I'm not even going to say it. You say it ba ha and we are going to take the group of sasha. So ba ha sha baasha baasha ba. Now what if we take instead of one dot on the first one two and then we go to this letter. Ah we almost forgot this. Now this one is the equivalent as if I had wrote for example if I had wrote la ma t it would look like this but because this little sneaky one doesn't connect with the letter after it then it's just a circle with two dots on top. Just a circle with two dots on top. So this will be ya wa ta. Right. And this will be la ma. Right? Now we said that this one and this one are similar but just different. Uh the only difference is is that it has two dots on top. So, what if we had something that looks like first group B and then just a little H b. Why? Because the wow is one of those sneaky ones that don't connect after it. they don't like to connect with the letter after them. So we cannot write we cannot write ba ma and ta like this for example ba ma. So we have to to separate it and just have a circle circle here for the ta circle here for the ha. So now we have gotten to the point where you are able to decode letters. We are not reading words but we are decoding letters. So if you only focus on the on the actual letter that that we have been taken now and you and you think of reading like like this. What letter is this? Ah what letter is this? Going to the gym. A j what letter is this? A what letter is this? So now we are decoding letter by letter. The only thing that we are doing is that we are reading them of how they are when they are connected. Okay. So a ja a and so now we are decoding letters instead of reading words and later on we are going to read all the all the little pieces that allows us to read uh words as words and right now you might not understand but you're able to to read word by word and later on inshallah you are going to uh become a proficient reader and actually read full words. Now it's time to practice for you the reading joint letters. So what you're going to do is you're going to come to this section number four and you're going to start trying to read >> this simple this simple uh joint letters and you need to make sure that you knew instantly all of them before you master them. Now for me here you can see is all mastered but for you it will be locked and it will be set to zero. Now if you remember in the beginning of the video we spoke about how in the Arabic language letters are not enough for vow for vowels to be recognized but rather there are there are signs symbols that make the vowel not like in English which are letters a e uh o u i in the Arabic language is actual signs. So we are going to now that we have been learning how to read letters now we are going to know how to read sounds and we are going to see the difference. So we are going to take from the first group letter B. So as you can see here we have letter B. But letter B if we add a little line on top it becomes B. The sound is B which is what we have been learning and is the you know the default sound in the Arabic language and the easiest to to pronounce. Then we have a line at the bottom becomes B. And then a little letter wow on top becomes bu. So the sound now is a, e, and u. So again a line on top becomes ba and and gives the sound a line at the bottom of the letter gives the sound e. A little wow letter if you guys remember the wow. Okay from amongst the last group. If you add a little wow it becomes the sound oo bu boo. And you might see different signs as well in the Quran. Sometimes the the the ooh sound might come with a different symbol like like this sometimes, but the default symbol is a wow on top. Okay. So now this is this this is uh not too complicated and it's made it's made like that for that reason. But this allows you to now start reading sounds. So, we are going to do some practice right now. What if I give you this letter right here? Remember this letter? What if we add a line on top? It becomes it becomes fa. Great. What if This letter now has a symbol like this on top. It becomes fu fu fu. What if now we have this letter right here? You remember gargling? Uh what if we add a line at the bottom? It becomes Now what if you remember Sasha? What if we go to the sea and we have this symbol? What does it become? Sue. Sue. Sue. But what if we go to the sea and it's pouring and raining and it has a line at the bottom it will become she. So sue and she. Okay. So line at the bottom is the e sound. line on top is the a sound. Wow. symbol on top is the ooh sound. What if we now we have the yay? The yay. Yeah. What if we have the yah letter and it has a sign like this on top? It becomes you. You you What if we have a a with a line at the bottom? It becomes ye. Now, what if we have a letter that looks like this, but it has a line at the bottom. It becomes key. But what if this same sign now has a sign boy like this on top. It becomes C. And what if this same letter What if this same letter has a line on top? It becomes Now more practice. What if we have a letter in the middle that looks like this and it has a sign on top? Do you remember what letter has a dot on top? New. With this sign on top is new. New. What if we have this letter in the middle and it has a sign on top like this? It becomes sa. And then what if we have these in the middle or let me write it better. What if you have this sign and it has a wow sign on top? It would be ru R. But what if this now this this same sign this same letter has a dot on top and it has a line at the bottom. It will be re. Now what if we have three letters? Now if you remember this one and this one and just a circle like this. And now we have a line on top B and we have a line at the bottom. So ba we and then we have something like this here. B we who bioo. Ah, so now we reading. What about if we have T and then we have this sneaky one that don't like to connect after it. And we have two dots like this. And we have a sign like this. Boo. And then we have B Z B Z. And then and then ta boozita. And now what if we have now we have this letter here or this invented word sha. We to shall we to shall we to shall we to some more practice. What if we go to the gym and and then we say, "Wow." And then, "Yay." And then we have this line here. This same letter, but it's small as a sign. And this, what would it be? J Woo because it's a wow. So, ju ju ja woo ye ji. Okay. So, now we put in vowels together with words. Some more practice. What if we go with this letter? What would this and this and this be? Who see na? Who see na? Who see na? Who see na? And so now you can do something powerful which is look at a letter recognize the letter whether is in the beginning in the middle or the end and then look at its vowel and read that letter with the sound with the correct sound. And so that is the framework. You look at the letter first then you realize what the sound is and you say it out loud. So now even if you are saying slowly and you have to think first for the letter who which which letter is this one so h okay but is uh is a woo sign so is who and then s this is s but is a line at the bottom so who see and then this is na but it's a line on top so now okay so who see now that is the closest you get from from reading and now you are recognizing letters and putting the sounds on it which is what we want to accomplish from this part. So now that you have learned the short vowels and what you're going to do is come to section five in the reading course and start practicing >> the >> until >> you know all of them instantly three times three rounds until you master it. So now here in part six we are going to take what we call at tenwin which is the same concept that you just learned but it's going to be double what you've learned. What do I mean by that? So now you have learned that one line on top which we call feta gives you the sound ba right and one at the bottom gives you the sound b and one sign like this gives you the sound boo. Now there is a vowel which we call tenwin in the Arabic language which is basically a double vowel. So instead of one line is two lines and instead of one line at the bottom is two lines at the bottom and instead of one wow sign is two wow signs and this gives you the sign or this gives you the sound ban ban an and gives you the sound in and this gives you the sound un. Okay. So ban bin boon ban bin boon badoom. So here is another vowel another vowel. So now very simply is the same concept. So if we take the first letter or from the first group our friend ba and then we take a letter. What is this one? lamb. And then we take a letter mim and we add this ba ban lim moon ban lim moon. Now I don't really want to show you this because in the Arabic language uh these these uh double vowels can only come at the end of a letter or a word sorry. So at the end of a word instead what we are going to we are going to take a a real word. So we are going to take this word a lamb a ba a noon and a t. Now what we are going to do is add a fat la a b a fat here na and here is going to have a tenwin with two fatas. So, which is a brick lab. Now what if instead of 10 we say what if instead we say instead we say laon lab. Okay. And now what if we have a word like this? Huh? And we go H and we put two lines at the bottom. What? It becomes min. What if we go with a sneaky one that don't connect and we add a yah and a non and we say the ye what is this none Now here we have something to mention which is when there is a tenuine. When there is a tenuine vowel and the last letter in a word is when it's an then we add with it a al if so for example. So here we have fu and so we add this al if like this. So in this case, the al if comes by itself because wow is one of those sneaky letters that don't connect after it. However, if it was a letter that connects, for example, son here, it will be like this son. Son, son. Okay. So this is a nuance to know that if there is a tanwin at the end of a of a word it will come with an al if. Okay. Another thing to mention as well is that some scripts some scripts as we said earlier might have different uh different signs. So you might come across something like this. Instead of of uh of two wow signs, it will be something like this. So is a is is a wow is a wow as a as a symbol but it has a line like this. So it becomes un as well and some scripts of the Quran have that. So instead of two two wows to make the sound un it will be like this. All right. So pay attention to that as well. So here let's have some practice with the tenuine. We have a ba. Read this for me. Abaden. Which means never in Arabic. Abaden. Now what if we take this like this? And this becomes what if we take this word and we give it a fat to fat here and and two kasin barin. H. What if we have this one? What if we have nun bun? What if we have but then we add and two lines at the bottom. Now if you remember in the beginning we said that al hamza sometimes comes and and we add a vowel to it. So we said there was 29 sometimes there's 28 letters in the alphabet sometimes 29 because the hamza sometimes comes in um in different in different placements and he and he gives it a vowel. So for example here as you can see this letter is a hamza hamza and depending on the vowel on top or at the bottom it will make a different sound. So here is so as you can see it has the body of the yah but is actually a hamza because the hamza came here. So you say and sometimes it might come like this. Yeah. In the Quran, you might see this ain a you see the a by itself here. Don't pay too much attention now and why this is here by itself and so on. We're going to learn this later on. But I'm showing you the hamza. Okay. instead of of with the with the line as we as we seen earlier. Likewise, you might see it with the vowel on top. You might see the hamza come like this soon. R. So if you see a wow and it has a hamza on top, it will be whatever the vowel is. Ru. This one is a. This one is a a because of the vowel. So in this part we have learned the tenuin which is just a variation of what we have learned in the part before of the au sounds. This is just an in and un. And I gave you a couple examples on how you can uh uh as well recognize the a like this. Sometimes it might just come and you it might confuse you. But the most and the main important fact here that I want you to take from this part is the an in sound. Two lines on top an two lines at the bottom in two little wows at the top un and sometimes as we said it might come the sign of un might come like this. So now that you have learned about a tenuin, come here to part number six and start working on the practice for tenuine when Jun >> until you master all of them and you knew them instantly. Now we have been taking vowels that have sounds a e and u. But what happens when a letter doesn't have a vowel? What do we and how do we pronounce it? So right now we are going to take a vowel that's called sukun sukun which could mean in the Arabic language silence and so that's what happens when there is no no silence in a in a word I mean in a letter instead of for example ba you say ab or b which is a circle on top of the letter a circle on top of the letter. So for example here if I add a letter. So this would be for example cab. And so you apply this to any other letter. Let's say if you have a word like you have then a sukun and then a tan. So it stops at the sound of the letter Yah, right? The sound of it. Yah. So if it doesn't have a vowel, it will be Y. E. So B, the sound of the letter is B. If it doesn't have a vowel, it will be. So this is why this one is. This one is. Likewise, if I write if I write here this lamb and wow. So the sound of the lamb is la. And if it has a sukun will be la. Likewise, if we have this, which again a hamza could come at the bottom if the vowel if is a castra. So, e in in. Likewise, if we have a lamb and a meim, we say lamb lem lamb. Likewise, if we have A if we have here if we have a a I don't like this. Let's make another one and a meim, right? Because the ra doesn't connect after it. So you would say ra okay or in in the Arab countries in the stop sign instead of saying stop which it says stop it say stop as well but you would see the word stop in Arabic which is sorry I'm going to put it here So if the letter has a sukun on top, a circle on top, it stops at the sound of the letter. M. Okay. Ke in lamb. All right. So this is another variation of the signs that you are going to see on top of the letters. Now so far you have taken all the vowels a eu. Likewise tenuin and inun. Now this is the sukun which is when there's no vowel. What do we do with it? We put a circle on top and we just stop at the sound of the letter. All right. And sometimes as well, just as a side note, sometimes the sukun might come, if I write it here, if I write lamb. Sometimes the sukun might come like this. sometimes especially in some scripts some uh calligraphies or some scripts of the Quran it might come like this okay but is a circle in general and you stop at the sound of the vowel this part is this simple so now that you have learned the concept of you are going to come to section seven of the reading course and you're going to practice is the sukun with these flash cards. >> How >> how the z >> zah >> and make sure that you master it for three rounds by clicking on new instantly is you if you know them instantly and obviously be honest with yourself. All right. So now we are getting close to completing all the tools that you need in order for you to read. So so far we have gotten the vowels first the au sound. Then we added the tenuin to it. Okay? So an in added sukun to it. When there is no vowels, what do we say? Which is the quiet sound. Now we are getting to the shed. The shed is basically the two that you have learned already which is the vowel uh a eu sound and the sukun together. But we are going to put it together and it's going to look like this. So you see here we have a and then we have ba with the fat on top the line on top which we call fata and then we have this sha the shda is an is an m but on the opposite on the opposite upside down basically a upside down M. And so what the sha is, imagine it like this. What the sha really is? Here we have a sha well written. So imagine the sha written like this. So all the sha is is a sukun and a fata. Aba abba abba. And so when you put it together, you put these two together, you get this. And you write the sha like this like a upside down M letter in the English language. Like a upside or like a W basically like a small W. All right. So this is what the sha really is. is is two letters together. The first one is has a sukun and the second one has a fata a line on top or it could be it could be another one. It could be for example So you could be ab or you could be au. All right. And so the three vowel sounds that we have learned a eu the fat line on top the line at the bottom and the which is the wow sign on top. All of those can be uh converted into a shda. So here we have aba this has a sha here we have ab and here we have abu. Now one important thing to pay attention here is that sometimes the sha can come or it can be a little bit confusing. Why? Because now I have showed you that if it's a kas like you can see here the kas comes right below the sha but sometimes you might find in different places written it like this which is rare but it could happen right. So ab so the sha always goes on top and for that reason most places we write it like this with the sha and right below the sha the kas sometimes you might see it like this ab as for and aba is always the same thing. Now if we take a couple of of examples so you can see how it works before before we get into the practice. If we write bula and we write okay I'm going to come back to the vowels and we write All right. Dada and we write D. So here we have ba biza biza. Here we have Here we have. And here we have So a very common word that you have probably heard before is the word the word j. So Jenna that sound that you hear in the middle of the word of the word Jennin let's say this is the sha jatin jatin. So if you pay attention again so this this is clear is almost as if you was reading this Jan nin. So imagine it as jin you just stop at the sukun. So when these happens it it becomes into a sha in the Arabic language j and so now you know the sha and and we're going to get into some practice before we get into alud the prolongation. So now that you have learned about a come to section 8 and start practicing the flash cards for >> a until you master all of them by knowing them instantly as as you see them for three rounds straight before you move into the next section and watch the the concept for this for the next section on the video and come back for the next section. Now we have got to the last tool that you are going to need to read the Arabic language like a pro inshallah. Just a small uh recap. So you've got the vowels which is the nouns fat on top line at the bottom and which is the wow sign on top. A eu. Then we doubled it with the tenwin. So it becomes an in and un an in and un. And we said that for anything that uh that has a sh a um a uh a tenuin and it's mansub. It it comes with a al if. So for example, so if he if he if he comes with with if there is a a tenuine mansub at the end he comes with a alif. Likewise here for another example if he comes Kufu one. If there's a letter that doesn't connect after it because it's a silly one, then it's separated, but the al if still comes. Okay. All right. Now, after the tenwin, we got the sukun. So, the sukun is just the the non vow the non vowel. So when there is no vowel we say ab then we took the sha which is when there is a one with sukun and one with a harak or with a with a vowel okay we call this harakat this line on top this line at the bottom all these vowels are called harakat that's why you might hear sometimes I don't know how to read without the harakat at i.e without these signs on top of the letters. So the sha is when there is a letter that comes that is with sukun and one that has a haraka one that has one of these vowels. So it becomes abba aba for example aba here aba but this is not written correctly and how we actually write it is like this aba aba all right so that's the shda Now all of these are the tools that you need to learn Arabic. I want you to realize that before we go into the last tool which is what is the vowels the actual sounds then the tenwin which is the double vowel then the sukun which is the non vowel then the sha which is the you can say duplicated vowel shda comes from putting a little bit of force into it. Shed shed putting a little bit of emphasis into it. And now the last tool is the prolongations. Prolongations of letters. Prolongations of letters. That's the last tool that you are going to need to to read Arabic to read the Quran. So the prolongation has three letters that get prolonged. Okay. The first one is our number one friend alif. We use these to prolong any uh any fata any any uh any letter that has a line on top that has a fat. Now from the prolongations the al if sometimes might come with the body of a yah but don't have any any uh any dots. Okay. And sometimes you might you might see you might see a line like this. Okay. So that is a al if as well. Then we have that gets prolonged with theat or with the letters that that come before it that have a a which is the little sign that gives the sound oo. We use the wow to prolong it. Okay, don't worry if it's too technical yet. We're going to get into it. And then we have the letter yah. letter Yah gets prolonged as prolonged as well for the letters that come before it that have a kasra which is the line at the bottom. So now let me give you a small example of how does this happen. So if I say for example if I say and you might see this in the Quran and it might it might confuse you a little bit in the in the beginning you might see something like this. This is a lamb and an al if together. So it becomes la. So you see how I pronounced it la with the prolongation. If it was just the lamb, it would be la. If it was just the al if it would be a but if it's prolonged it becomes la. All right. Another example with the word how do we say door in Arabic we say bab. So you see the prolongation of the fata it becomes with an al if baboon baboon. So this is how the prolongation here works. Now let me give you an example with this this al if and where does it come. So you may have come across in the Quran where Allah says in the Quran he says so it has a here. So this is a prolongation of this letter with the fat and so you say if these wasn't there it will be but because he has a prolongation you have to say another example with this uh prolongation is another word which you will find in the Quran as well with the letter the for this Vikra. So you see this this is a prolongation of the al if the this is a pronunation of the al if as well this is a prongation of the al if the there's a prongation of the of the of the fat. Sorry. Oh yeah, prongation with the al if of this fat. Now before we get into the into the wow and the yah which are the simplest one I want to bring to your attention as well that sometimes you will see you will see in the Quran you might have come across or might not. So don't worry if you didn't. So in the Quran sometimes you might come across uh prolongations that are actually not showing fully. So for example in you will see something like this. You will see something like this. And you will see a line like this, right? And so this right here is representing a prolongation. So every time you see in the Quran a letter and and right on top of it there is a haraka, but there's as well something like this. Then this is a prongation of the al if. This is a prongation of the al if and it can happen across many different uh many different letters where you will see the letter and something like this. So this is all right. You might see as well the word hudah going back to going back to these example right here and you might see something like or okay now in this case this pronunation is showing like this. So here it will be just huda huda or hudan hudan. All right. So this is the different sort of prolongations that you might come across in general in regular script. You will never find you will never find these sort of prongations with the with the lines. This is specific to the Quran. These are specific to the Quran. And I know if you want to learn how to read Arabic, you'll probably want to learn how to read the Quran. So that's the reason why I why I am mentioning it. But the most common prolongation that I want you to focus on right now and these ones is fine if you didn't if you if you don't grasp it right now. The the one the most common ones are for example if we write a f and we say fat or or m or okay M all of these are prolongations. Now going into the next one, the one with wow. The one with wow is simple is the letter before with a wow. And and this is how it will go. Boo. Boo. So when you write it like this, when you write it um when you like handwriting or taking notes, what taking notes whatever it might be, it will be written like this. Boo. Uh, okay. And in general, it there's nothing that goes on top of the of the alif or on top of the wow. However, you will find in the Quran, and this is just as a side note, this is not the amongst the things that I want you to memorize, but in the Quran, you might find it like this. You will find the the which is not the best but the and then a little thingy like this on top of the of the of the prongation. But in general, you don't write the sukun on top of the of the of the prongation prongation letters. But in the Quran is specific and it has a specific script. So I'm just telling you in case you come across it, just know that that's specific to the Quran. So you might come across something in the Quran like this. For example, something like this. All right. But all of these is the same context is is I mean the same the same uh the same concept. All right. So you just prolong the the the the sound before. And here a big uh common mistake is either prolonging too much or prolonging too little. So you have to find the middle ground. Now with the prolongation of the yah. So we said there's three letters that get prolonged, right? Or extended. We have the al if, we have the wow, and then we have the yah as well. So for example B okay B or we can have key or key sorry key right or if something is mine I Say hi. This is mine lee. So this is how you prolong these letters B or this haraka this uh this um vowels B key. Now what happens if there is an al if that gets prolonged with another al if? So what do I mean by that? In the Quran, you'll find this word. So when when there is an al if that gets prolonged, you will find something like this on top of it. So if you see an alif that has this on top, what it means is actually is actually there is an al if and an alif. And so when there is two al ifs like this, they become this right here. And so this is a prongation of the al if. So you say ah ah. So this sort of wrongation you might see it in in words like lea. So you see the prongation. So now that you have mastered al mad and pronugation and you have taken the concept from the actual YouTube video, come to the flashcards on section number nine and start practicing the prolongations >> until you master all of them. >> The So now that you have learned all the concepts, now it's time to read words, real words in the Arabic language. So you're going to come to this final practice and you are going to have two sections for the final practice. First you are going to test yourself with these words and these are words that are are real words but are are singular words. So >> and so you're going to test yourself with all of these. You have to master all of them. And then lastly, you are going to come to the last section number 11. And you are going to test your reading >> as such. So you are going to to press the the arrow left arrow button and you're going to read before you press the arrow. So here I'm going to say Y >> and so you test you you test yourself on to see if you know it before you actually hear the the voice to see if you are at that level and after this section come back to the video because you are almost done and by now you should be reading the Arabic language. So alhamdulillah I have to congratulate you if you have made it all the way here. Tell me in the comments if you were someone who didn't know how to read and you actually followed all the steps that I gave you in this uh video tutorial and you actually learn how to read. Now here what is expected is not that you are a proficient professional super fast reader but that you are able to even if it's slowly as of now you are able to recognize every letter the sound of that letter that should go with and you are able to go over a word with different letters together and you are able to recognize them and read them. So I congratulate you if you have made it all the way here. And now all you have to do is practice, practice, practice. Take the Quran every day. Find you a teacher, Quran teacher that you can actually start reading with that you can memorize the first uh few suras of the of the Quran. And that is what will make you a good proficient Arabic reader.
