Learn: The Arabic Alphabet

Learn all 28 letters

Master each Arabic letter: its shape, name, sound, Makhraj (articulation point), and how it changes within a word.

Letters have a place of articulation. Learning the alphabet first prevents guessing sounds later.

What you will be able to do

  • Recognise all 28 letters in reading order and random order.
  • Identify primary makhraj zones: lips, tongue regions, and throat.
  • Distinguish commonly confused pairs like س/ص, د/ض, ت/ط, ه/ح.

Worked example in this lesson: ayah 1:1.
