“Indeed, this Qur'an guides to that which is most suitable and gives good tidings to the believers who do righteous deeds that they will have a great reward”
and Preparing to Learn the Arabic Language
Faith & Recitation MuSLM · QuRaAN · ALLAH | Word of ALLAH Not commentary | A2L Latin transliteration | TaJWYD Ten Recitations
One of the noblest acts through which a MuSLM draws closer to ALLAH is striving to learn the recitation of the Holy QuRaAN , for it has a profound impact on strengthening faith in the hearts of believers.
Whoever dedicates themselves to reciting the QuRaAN will, by the permission and grace of ALLAH, find it easier to understand its values, embrace its morals, and follow the guidance of the Prophet MuHaMaD (peace and blessings be upon him).
Today, translations and commentaries (TaFSYR ) of the QuRaAN are available in many of the world's languages. However, TaFSYR is not the QuRaAN itself. Every commentary is influenced, to some extent, by the commentator's environment, educational background, culture, historical period, and the circumstances surrounding its composition.
The Holy QuRaAN , on the other hand, is the literal Word of ALLAH, preserved unchanged in its wording from the time of its revelation until today throughout the world. It is a source of healing for the hearts, and this unique effect cannot be attained merely through reading a commentary. Rather, it is realized through the direct relationship between the Creator and His servant at the moment of reciting the QuRaAN .
Likewise, the nourishment of the soul, the awakening of the intellect, the enlightenment of insight, and the purification of the heart are not achieved through TaFSYR alone. TaFSYR is the work of human scholars, however learned they may be, whereas the QuRaAN is the Word of ALLAH, the Lord of all mankind and the Lord of the scholars themselves, conveyed directly to His servants. For this reason, the QuRaAN may be regarded as a direct channel of divine guidance and light.
To address this need, we present to Non-speaking Arabic the A2L Transliteration System for the Words of The Holy QuRaAN as a preparatory step toward learning the Arabic Language.
It is a system that relies on the spelling of the words when rewriting QuRaAN 's Words by Latin Alphabets. Each Arabic letter and each diacritical mark has a corresponding letter in A2L writing System, so the text is copied letter by letter into the new writing system, including its diacritical marks exactly in their positions, whether above or below the letter, to ensure that the text is transferred exactly in terms of the number of words and letters per word, as well as the positions of the diacritical marks.
This helps guarantee correct pronunciation, sentence structure, language rules, and allows the application of TaJWYD rules and the Ten Recitations.
The aim is to make it easier to recite the QuRaAN and learn Arabic, God willing, asking ALLAH for acceptance and success for those working on it and those benefiting from it. May ALLAH accept from us and you, and guide all of us to what He loves and is pleased with.

by using A2L Writing System
Letters in Arabic Writing System
In Arabic System Writing; Letters are divided into Basic Letters, 28 Letters + Hamza, and Derived Letters, 7 Special Letters.
Basic Letters might have no meaning by themselves, but they are used to build words & sentences
Each letter by itself has no meaning
Each letter by itself has no meaning
Particles Letters
ب BIt connects to the word to link it with what comes before or after it
Each letter by itself has no meaning

28 Letters + Hamza · 7 Special Letters
In Arabic System Writing; Letters are divided into Basic Letters, which consist of 28 Letters + Hamza, and Derived Letters, which consist of 7 Special Letters.
28 Letters + Hamza
The basic letters are the letters that form words in the Arabic language, whether nouns, verbs, or anything that constitutes a sentence. For example: The word كَتَبَ (KaTaBa ) is composed of the basic letters: كَ (Ka ) ، تَ (Ta ) ، بَ (Ba ) . The word مُسْلِم (MuS°LiM ) is composed of the basic letters: مُ (Mu ) ، سْ (S° ) ، لِ (Li ) ، م (M ) . These letters, on their own, do not convey meaning. That is, a single letter of the alphabet does not convey meaning when pronounced alone. For example:
However, when these letters are combined to form a word, meaning emerges:
denotes a known object
denotes an action
Some of the basic letters are considered as particles of meaning, such as; ب (B ), ك (K ), and ل (L ).
The difference lies in their usage:
If you say, ب B is the second letter of the alphabet, then it is a Basic Letter. But if you say, بِالْقَلَمِ [BiALQaLaMi ] then ب B here is a particle of meaning because it refers to the method, which is the pen
Consist of 7 Special Letters
Writing forms derived from basic letters.
These are the written forms generated from the basic alphabetic letters as a result of adding a hamza, a special mark, or a change in the shape of the letter, while maintaining their connection to the original letter, and without considering them as independent alphabetic letters in the alphabetical order

---------- A2L
A2L Writing System contains Letters and Symbols that Represent each Letter and Symbol found in Arabic and Quranic Text, with an Emphasis on the Correspondence of the POSITION of Each.
---------- CONVERSION
Every Arabic letter has given a counterpart, whether from Latin Alphabets or by choosing a special symbol to preserve the Arabic rules and spelling
taking into account all the letter attachments in particular and the text attachments in general. Therefore, this system is more accurate than the other, as it depends on dictating the word when it is copied, with all the letters and marks, whether spoken or unspoken, to ensure the text is conveyed with all its grammatical, spelling, and orthographic rules and conventions;
