How to read the English letters
- ā ī ū long vowels: hold them for two beats
- ʿ the letter 'ayn, from deep in the throat
- ʾ a short stop (hamzah), as in "uh-oh"
- ḥ ṣ ḍ ṭ ẓ heavy letters, said fuller than h s d t z
- th dh kh gh sh one sound each; a hyphen (s-h) means two separate letters
- al- joined to the word before: say it as one flow
The Arabic is the same text as our Qur'an reader. The English letters are a guide only; a teacher will correct what letters cannot show.
