Hamzah Al-Wasl 
Lesson 5
Hamzah-t Al-Wasl in Nouns (second part)
Hamzah Al-Wasl in Irregular Nouns
Last tidbit, we discussed that nouns that
have hamzah al-wasl as the first letter are all started with a kasrah. The
last lesson explained hamzah al-wasl in regular nouns; this lesson will
describe the different irregular nouns that start with hamzah al-wasl.
Again, these nouns also will have a kasrah on the hamzah al-wasl when
beginning on these words. If however, we are reading these words in
continuum with that which precedes it, we drop the hamzah al-wasl in
pronunciation.
The irregular hamzah al-wasl is
found in ten specific nouns in the Arabic language, only seven of these are
found in the Holy Qur’an. Theses irregular nouns starting with hamzah
al-wasl found in the Holy Qur’an are:

Note: The word 
found
in
aayah 11 of surah al-Hujuraat can be started two
different ways:
1.
It can be
started with a with
a fat-h on it, followed by a kasrah of the lam:
" 
"
2.
It can be
started with
without
the hamzah-t al-wasl that precedes it:
"
".
Both ways are accepted. The second way is permitted since the
has
a presented vowel, and there is no longer a saakin letter after the hamzah
al-wasl, so it is not necessary to start with the hamzah al-wasl.
