اشتباهات رایج

Beginners often flip the placement. Remember: 'a' is top, 'i' is bottom.

Wrong: Confusing Zabar with Zer.
صحیح: Zabar goes above, Zer goes below.

Without Jazm, you might add an extra vowel sound that doesn't belong.

Wrong: Ignoring the Jazm.
صحیح: Use Jazm to signal a hard stop.

It must be explicitly above the letter being doubled to be clear.

Wrong: Misplacing Tashdeed.
صحیح: Place it directly on the consonant.
