An Introduction:
The Arabic Alphabet counts 28
letters, & it is very important to know that the Arabic script is read
& written from right to left.
The Arabic letters are very
similar to English letter sounds, e.g. Baa is very close to letter ‘B’ in
the English language, which is a useful way to remember the sounds of the

In Arabic, there are three short vowel-marks which enable the
letter to make a sound a similar way to the English Language, for instance
(a,e,I,u) ; we’ll cover them later insha`Allah.
