What is the method for reading the endings of words in the verses of Al-Fatiha, and are the letters made silent, such as in "Al-Alameen," "Nasta'een," "Ad-Dalleen," "Ar-Raheem," "Ad-Deen," even though they are marked with grammatical vowels in the Quran, while the "meem" at the end of "Al-Mustaqeem" is pronounced with an open vowel (fatha)? And is the prayer valid if the words are read according to their grammatical markings, or must some letters be made silent, and what are these letters?

If the reciter pauses at the end of a verse, the last letter is
pronounced with a sukoon (silent). If the reciter connects a verse with the one
that follows it, the last letter is pronounced with a vowel. The Prophet,
peace and blessings be upon him, used to pause at the end of the verses of Al-Fatiha.
Reciting the end of a verse with a vowel while pausing on it is a grammatical error
(lahn) that does not invalidate the prayer, because it does not change the meaning.
