Jim ج is a moon letter

The distinction of “sun letters” (حروف الشمس) and “moon letters” (حروف القمر) is fundamental in determining the pronunciation of the definite article “ال” (al) when it precedes certain consonants in Arabic.

When the definite article “ال” is added to a word starting with a sun letter, a seamless assimilation occurs. For example, “الشمس” (ash-shams) means “the sun,” with the “l” sound smoothly blending into the following “sh.”

When the definite article “ال” is applied to words starting with moon letters, the “l” sound remains distinct. For instance, “القمر” (al-qamar) signifies “the moon,” with the “l” sound clearly separate from the following “q.”

So ha “ ج” is a moon letter

The letter “ ج” (jim) in Arabic is indeed a moon letter. When the definite article “ال” (al) is prefixed to a word beginning with “ ج,” assimilation does not occurs, and the “l” sound of “al” does not combines with the “j” sound of “ ج.”

Here are some examples:

  • الجمال (al-jamāl): The beauty
  • الجديد (al-jadīd): The new
  • الجريمة (al-jareemah): The crime
  • الجمع (al-jam’): The collection
  • الجمهور (al-jamhūr): The majority

Arabic Letters Are Special

Arabic is unique in that it uses an alphabet instead of an abjad. Arabic’s writing system uses an abjad rather than an alphabet, which is one of its distinctive features and makes it difficult to learn at first. What does that imply then?

An abjad is a system in which each letter stands for a consonant rather than a vowel, necessitating the employment of vowel marks to indicate the vowels. It currently, however, is regarded as a “impure abjad” because it has 3 vowels.

Arabic has sounds that are unique to that language, such as the “h” sound “.” To understand how this is spoken, visualize blowing a fog on a window pane.
