Huruf hijaiyah refers to the Arabic letters used to read and write Arabic and the Quran.

Fathah, kasrah, and dhammah help beginners learn how letters are pronounced in different combinations. With regular practice, learners can become more familiar with connected letters, basic Arabic words, and the reading rules needed for Quran recitation.

Starting with the basics and progressing gradually creates a stronger foundation for understanding Arabic script and developing accurate Quran recitation.
