Question Wa
alaikum assalaam wa rahmatu Allahi wa barakatuh. You are correct. If you are using the type of printing that does not use the actual hamzah symbol, then if there is a vowel or a sukoon on the alif, you pronounce a hamzah. If there is no symbol on the alif, then it is an alif, and is given two vowel counts if there is no hamzah or sukoon afterwards. In surah Al-Feel,the word has an alif in the middle, and we should lengthen it two vowel counts. We do this by holding the fat-hah on the . Click here to listen to the aayah. The first letter of that same word is a hamzah, and that should be pronounced as a hamzah with a fat-hah. In
the last word of surah Al-Feel,
there is a hamzah saakinah, which is not at
all the same as an alif. Click
here to listen to the aayah.
This hamzah with no vowel, is articulated from the deepest part of the throat,
but we stop the sound quickly because of the sukoon.
There are no special rules for these two letters in these words in the
recitation of Hafs ‘an ‘Aasim, except the stated two count lengthening for
the alif in the first word. To
listen to the complete surah read slowly by Sheikh Al-Husary, please click on
the following link, then save the file of Al-Feel to your computer, then
listen to it. http://www.islaam.net/display/display.php?id=787&category=49 Jazakum
