What is the ruling on writing (اعلموا) with the hamza placed below the alif (إ) in Surat Al-Hadid [verse 20]? And what is the ruling on the echo that repeats letters when reciting the Holy Qur’an?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The word "اعلموا" (A'lamu) in Surat Al-Hadid begins with a hamzat wasl (connecting hamza) and is depicted as an alif. Deviating from this is not considered a sin, as it pertains to the rules of Quranic orthography.
