Lesson: 2

Forms of the Arabic Alphabets

 Each letter has 4 forms (which look very similar to each other)
 when you write the letter by itself
 when it comes in the beginning of a word
 when it comes in the middle of a word
 when it comes at the end of a word
 The forms you saw in the chart above are when the letter is by
itself
 here’s an example of the letter Baa in all 4 forms

Example:

)Door( ‫ب =باب‬+ ‫ ا‬+ ‫ب‬


)In the name of Allah( ‫ م =بسم هللا‬+ ‫ س‬+ ‫ب‬
)Friend( ‫ب = حبيب‬+ ‫ي‬+ ‫ ب‬+ ‫ح‬
