عِنْدَمَا تُلْحَقُ أَلِفُ التَّثْنِيَةِ بِالاسْمِ الْمُنْتَهِي بِهَمْزَةٍ مَسْبُوقَةٍ بِحَرْفٍ سَاكِنٍ يَتَّصِلُ بِمَا بَعْدَهُ تُرْسَمُ الْهَمْزَةُ عَلَى نَبِرَةٍ.

When the dual alif is added to a noun ending in a hamza preceded by a consonant that connects to the following letter, the hamza is written on a tooth.

عِنْدَمَا تُلْحَقُ أَلِفُ التَّثْنِيَةِ بِالاسْمِ الْمُنْتَهِي بِهَمْزَةٍ مَسْبُوقَةٍ بِحَرْفٍ سَاكِنٍ لَا يَتَّصِلُ بِمَا بَعْدَهُ تَبْقَى الْهَمْزَةُ عَلَى حَالِهَا.

When the dual alif is added to a noun ending in a hamza preceded by a consonant that does not connect to the following letter, the hamza remains as is.

عِنْدَمَا تُلْحَقُ أَلِفُ التَّثْنِيَةِ بِالاسْمِ الْمُنْتَهِي بِهَمْزَةٍ مَسْبُوقَةٍ بِحَرْفٍ مُتَحَرِّكٍ تُعَامَلُ مُعَامَلَةَ الْهَمْزَةِ الْمُتَوَسِّطَةِ.

When the dual alif is added to a noun ending in a hamza preceded by a vowelized letter, it is treated like a medial hamza.

أُثَنِّي الْكَلِمَتَيْنِ الْآتِيَتَيْنِ (دِفْءٌ، تَبَاطُؤٌ).

Form the dual of the following two words (warmth, slowness).

إِذَا أُلْحِقَتْ أَلِفُ التَّثْنِيَةِ بِالاسْمِ الْمُفْرَدِ الْمُنْتَهِي بِهَمْزَةٍ مَكْتُوبَةٍ عَلَى أَلِفٍ تُقْلَبُ الْهَمْزَةُ مَدَّةً.

If the dual alif is added to a singular noun ending in a hamza written on an alif, the hamza becomes a madda.

التَّكَاسُلُ وَالْإِهْمَالُ فَادِحَانِ.

Laziness and negligence are disastrous.

الْقِرَاءَةُ وَالرِّيَاضَةُ نَافِعَانِ.

Reading and exercise are beneficial.

الْأُمُّ وَالْمُعَلِّمُ يُنِيرَانِ دُرُوبَ الْأَجْيَالِ.

The mother and the teacher illuminate the paths of future generations.

الْحُرُوفُ الَّتِي لَا تَتَّصِلُ بِمَا بَعْدَهَا تُسَمَّى حُرُوفَ فَصْلٍ.

Letters that do not connect to what follows them are called non-connecting letters.
