Common Spelling Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

There are some common spelling errors in Arabic writing that may seem simple, but they alter the meaning or weaken the quality of the text. The most common of these errors is incorrectly writing hamzas, such as confusing ila with ila, or using hamzat al-qata’ instead of wasl. Another common mistake is confusing ta’ marbuta with ha’, such as madrasah instead of madrasah. Another common mistake is not distinguishing between alif maqsura and ya’, such as ‘ala and ‘ali. To avoid these errors, it is recommended to read continuously, review the text after writing, and rely on electronic or paper dictionaries when hesitating. Correct writing is not just about rules; it reflects the writer’s culture and attention to detail.
