If the letter following the hamza is an alif itself: (as in آكُل ʾākul) alif maddah will occur. II. If the hamza is final: If a short vowel precedes, the hamza is written over the letter (alif, wāw, or yāʾ) corresponding to the short vowel. Otherwise, the hamza is written on the line (as in شَيْء shayʾ "thing"). III.
Abd Allah ibn Abbas and Abdullah ibn Masud, are said to have favored the view that these letters stand for words or phrases related to God and His Attributes. [ 6 ] [ 7 ] Christoph Luxenberg in The Syro-Aramaic Reading of the Koran (2000) proposed that substantial portions of the text of the Qur'an were directly taken from Syriac liturgy.
Alif إ أ is generally the carrier if the only adjacent vowel is fatḥah. It is the only possible carrier if hamza is the first phoneme of a word. Where alif acts as a carrier for hamza, hamza is added above the alif, or, for initial alif-kasrah, below it and indicates that the letter so modified is indeed a glottal stop, not a long vowel.

However, in vocalized spelling, a small diacritic alif is added on top of the shaddah to indicate the pronunciation. In the pre-Islamic Zabad inscription, [98] God is referred to by the term الاله, that is, alif-lam-alif-lam-ha. [36] This presumably indicates Al-'ilāh means "the god", without alif for ā.
Al-Bayhaqi reports that Abu Hurairah said that Muhammad said, "Send the Salaam on Allah's messengers and prophets for Allah sent them as He sent me." [ 88 ] This point is further founded in the saying by Muhammad, "The miser is the one in whose presence I am mentioned, then he does not send the Salam upon me."
However, after Hijrah (Emigration to Medina) Muhammad had to deal with the opposition of those who openly accepted Islam while secretly plotting against Muslims. Their leader was Abd-Allah ibn Ubayy who was about to be crowned king before the arrival of Muhammad in Medina. The hypocrites benefitted from the Muslims while not losing their ...
