Tajwid - Beautifying the Quran

Note:
in al *ujur\t will have both its Alifs (Hamzahs - on
both sides of the L\m) omitted from recitation in continuity. However,
when starting from this word one has a choice of including the first
Hamzah or omitting it. i.e. it can be read as either: or
In the Qur’\n there are places where Alif is written but not recited
when continuing. They will however, be recited if stopped upon.
These are:
1 al Kahf 18:38 2 al A#z\b 33:10
3 al A#z\b 33:66 4 al A#z\b 33:67
5 ad Dahr 76:16 not 17 6 Wherever it appears.
Note: The representation of these words especially of the symbol
which represents the silent Alif may differ in each of the different prints
of the Qur’\n.
Letter Replacement
There are a few places in the Qur’\n where a small letter appears
above another. This is when there are two ways of reciting that word,
both of which are correct and both of which have the same meaning.
However, it is possible that the Qir\’ah that is specifically adopted may
give preference to one over the other. This is true to these words,
which are four in number.
