Rules for writing final hamza Posted by aziza on Apr 25, 2019 in Arabic Language, Grammar, Vocabulary
In this post, I write about the rules for writing hamza (ء) in Arabic at the end of the word. Just like medial hamza, the writing of final hamza depends on how it is vowelled and how the letters before it are vowelled. In this post, I will describe the most important rules. Final Hamza appears in one of the following forms (ء ، ـئ، ؤ ، أ)
Final Hamza is written separately as (ء)
If it is preceded by a letter vowelled by سكون, e.g.
دفء = warmth
جزء = part
بدء = beginning
If it is preceded by a long vowel and the hamza is vowelled by سكون, e.g.
ضوء = light
شيء = thing
أصدقاء = friends
Final Hamza is written on alif as (أ)
If it is preceded by a letter vowelled by فتحة, e.g.
قرأ = read
مبدأ = principle
بدأ = started
Final Hamza is written on و as (ؤ)
If it is preceded by a letter vowelled by ضمة, e.g.
يجرؤ = dares
تكافؤ = equivalence
لؤلؤ = pearl
Final Hamza is written on ي as (ـئ)
If it is preceded by a letter vowelled by كسرة, e.g.
شاطئ = beach
ينشئ = establish
طارئ = emergency
