In The name of Allah the Compassionate the Merciful
 
Hamza
 
The writing of the hamza differs according to it`s position in the word, if it was in the beginning ,middle or end of the word.
 
Let`s start with the beginning of the word :
 
1- In the beginning of the word , it is always written over or below the Alif , for instance :
2-in the middle of the word ; it has 4 shapes :
the shape of the writing of the Hamza at the middle of the word depends on the vowel marks at the Hamza & the letter that precedes it .
 
so the Hamza is written according to the priority of the vowel mark (whither this vowel mark is on the Hamza or the letter that precedes it), the following are the sequence of the priorities of the vowel marks:
1- Kasrah ( ) in this case the hamza is written on the chair
        ,    
 
2-Dammah ( ) in this case the Hamza is written over the Waaw
 
3-Fat-ha ( ) in this case the Hamza is written over the Alif
There`s an exception regarding this rule , when there`s an Alif or Waaw or Ya before the Hamza we deal with it this way :
If you have noticed that we write the Hamza over the line when Alif or waaw precedes it , but when Ya precedes it we write it on the chair.
 
But when there`s a kasrah over the Hamza we write it this way :
These exceptions are only when Alif, waaw, or Yaa precedes the Hamza.
 
3- when the Hamza is at the end of the word :
here it only depends on the letter that precedes the Hamza :
 
1-   when Kasrah is beneath the letter that precedes the Hamza we put the Hamza over the chair
2- when Dammah precedes the Hamza, we put the Hamza over the Waaw
3-when Fat-ha precedes the Hamza , we put the Hamza over the Alif 
4-when Sukoon precedes the Hamza, we put the Hamza on the line :
