    The Letter Hamzah

    The document discusses two types of hamzah (glottal stop) that appear in the Quran - hamza tul wasl and hamza tul qat'a. Hamza tul wasl only occurs at the beginning of words and is pronounced or skipped depending on how the reader connects it to the preceding letter. Hamza tul wasl takes a dammah if the third letter has one, except for a few exceptions. Hamza tul qat'a can appear anywhere in a word and is always pronounced, and care must be taken to pronounce hamzahs correctly when they have a sukoon or appear together or with alif.

    ‫ﺰﳘ‬ ‫)ﻊﻄﻘﻟة‬
    The letter Hamzah appears in many different forms in the Arabic language, but pronounced the
    same

    E.g ‫ ٕا‬$ٔ ‫ء ٶ ئ‬
    Note that the Alif and Hamzah are 2 different letters. The letter Alif in the Arabic language is
    always free from any type of harakah. If an Alif seems to have a harakah, then in actual fact it is a
    Hamzah

    Points relating to the letter Hamzah

    1. When pronouncing a Hamzah that carries a sukoon , care should be taken that it is

    pronounced correctly. Failing to do so may change it into a Waw , Ya or an Alif

    may sound
    E.g (104:8)
    as

    E.g (2:58) may sound as

    E.g (21:61) may sound as

    2. When there appear 2 Hamzahs together, ensure both are pronounced distinctively

    E.g (79:27)

    E.g (21:62)

    3. Where the letters Hamzah and Aeyn appear together, ensure that both are
    differentiated clearly

    E.g (114:1)

    E.g (99:6)

    E.g (21.81)
