learning the language. Please read the sentences below and write them

down on a piece of paper. You have already learnt what the sentences

below mean in the earlier part of the lesson so try to remember what they

In Arabic, more experienced readers do not require the vowel-marks or•

diacritical marks to read the word. We have started lesson 1 showing all

fatha, sukun and damma. However, with experience, we know from a

word actually means. Below, the words will appear without vowel-marks
 or diacritical marks (e.g. sukun, fatha, kasra etc). Hence, the word will be

Insha' Allah, in the next part of this lesson we will practice writing and•

reading skills. Please write out the following words below including their

translation. It is important to practice writing in the duration of this

course and to be able to read without translations. If you are unsure what

the words below mean, please revisit the previous sections of this lesson,

.all the words below have already been covered earlier

You will also notice that the words below do not have vowel-marks, i.e.•

dhamma, kasra and fatha. The vowel-marks have been deliberately

omitted because when you read Arabic in normal literature, vowel-marks

are seldom used. The context and your experience of words will enable

you to read the word properly. The words below should be apparent

In the next section we will learn some new vocabulary and we shall also•

learn the rules relating to the sun and moon letters. The most

important point to understand with this rule is that it governs the spoken

.(pronunciation) Arabic and not the written word

Arabic has 28 letters. Of these 14 letters are called Solar Leters, and the•

other 14 are called Lunar letters. In the articulation (speaking) of the

Solar letters, the tip or blade of the tongue is involved as in t, n, r, s, etc.

The tip or blade of the tongue does not play any part in the articulation of

.the Lunar Letters as in b, w, m, k etc

When alif-laam <<al>> is prefixed to a noun beginning with a Solar letter,•

the <<l>> of <<al>> is assimilated (joined) to the Solar Letter, e.g. al-

.shams (the sun) is pronounced ash-shamsu

The assimilation is .( ‫س‬

ُ ‫م‬ ّ ْ ‫ )ا َل‬No change takes place in writing•
ْ ‫ش‬
.<<indicated by the shaddah on the first letter of the noun after <<al

No such assimilation takes place with the Lunar Letters, e.g. al-qamaru•

Here are some more .( ‫مُر‬ َ ْ ‫( )ا َل‬the moon) is pronounced al-qamaru

َ ‫ق‬
examples of the assimilation of the <<l>> of <<al>> to the Solar Letters

:((don't worry about the meanings of the words yet

.al-najmu becomes an-najmu○

.al-rajulu becomes ar-rajulu○

 .al-diku becomes ad-diku○

.al-samaku becomes as-samaku○

Note that the <<a>> of <<al>> is pronounced only when it is not•

preceded by another word. If it is preceded by a word it is dropped in

pronunciation, though it remains in writing, e.g. wal-baitu. Here the

<<a>> is dropped and the phrase is pronounced wal-baitu not wa al-

baitu. To indicate this omission in pronunciation, this sign: << >> is

.placed above the hamzah

The initial vowel (a, i, or u) which is omitted when preceded by a word is•

.called hamazatu l-wasl

We have learnt that the tanwin is the indefinite article, and it is to be•

means a house. This rule does not ٌ‫ ب َْيت‬.translated as <<a>> e.g

The sentence above means "The Moon and The Sun Letters". See•

section 7 (which should have already been covered) if you do not already

understand the rules relating to the sun and the moon letters. Remember,

this rule affects the pronunciation of the word and not the written form.

Please listen carefully to the pronunciation. Pay attention to how the

rules pertaining to the Solar and Lunar Letters". Once again, please write

the words below with a pen and paper and read the words prior to clicking

on them below to hear the correct pronunciation. As these words have

already been covered before, the vowel-marks and diacritical marks (e.g.

fatha, kasra, damma, sukun etc) have not been used over the letters.
