Learn Arabic Alphabet Part 2A Quiz: Joined Letters Without Vowels

So you’ve started your Arabic journey and smashed the first quizzes. Now you’re ready for the fun part: recognising joined Arabic letters without any vowels. Sounds scary? It’s not. And this quiz will show you just how much you already know.

In case you are in hurry and do not want to read the whole post you can go directly to quizsection and test yourself

This lesson and quiz are part of the structured Arabic program at Brightling Minds. If you’re following the Quran reading track, you’re in exactly the right place.

What This Joined Letters Quiz Is All About

This quiz focuses on joined Arabic letters written without short vowels (harakat). In other words, you’ll see combinations like:

• ج
• جج
• جب
• حس
• شط
• غص
• عو
• ظن
• مك
• خن

There are many more. Some are single letters, some are two or three letters joined together. The twist? You’ll hear the sound, then choose the correct written form from a list of similar-looking options.

You’ll start realising just how much your brain can handle. Honestly, it’s pretty cool.

What You Should Have Completed Before This Quiz

This quiz isn’t for complete beginners. It builds on two earlier lessons on Brightling Minds. Before you attempt it, you should have:

1. Completed the main lesson on joined letters: Learn Arabic Alphabet Part 2A
2. Passed the earlier alphabet quiz: Part 1C Arabic Alphabet Quiz

Those two steps make sure you already:

• Recognise each letter in its isolated form
• Know basic letter joining rules
• Are comfortable with reading letters left to right for practice (and right to left in context)

Once that’s in place, this Part 2A quiz becomes a powerful next step toward reading the Quran more fluently.

How the Joined Letters Quiz Works (In Simple Terms)

The quiz is interactive and audio-based. Here’s the basic idea. You listen, you look, you choose. Then you repeat. It’s simple, but surprisingly powerful.

Here’s what happens in each round:

1. You click “Start Quiz”.
2. The system plays an audio clip of joined Arabic letters, for example “جس” or “عو”.
3. Several buttons appear, each showing a different Arabic letter or joined letters.
4. You click the one that matches the sound you heard.
5. You instantly see whether you were right, and your score updates.

You don’t have to type anything. You don’t need to read English prompts. You just listen and choose. It feels like a game rather than a test.

Quiz Difficulty Levels: Easy, Medium, or Hard

Before you start, you pick a difficulty level. That changes how many answer options you’ll see in each round and how long the quiz runs.

• Easy – 10 options per round, 20 rounds in total
• Medium – 15 options per round, 30 rounds in total
• Hard – 20 options per round, 45 rounds in total

On Easy, you get fewer choices and a shorter quiz. On Hard, you face more look-alike options, like:

• جش
• شط
• سط
• شص
• غص

They share letters, shapes, and dots. Your brain has to pay close attention. That’s exactly what builds strong recognition skills.

Start with Easy, even if you’re confident. Once you’re getting high scores, move to Medium and then Hard. Think of it like levels in a game rather than “grades”.

Letters and Combinations You’ll See

The quiz includes a variety of joined letters that often appear in Quranic words. Some examples are:

• ج, جج, جب, جت, جث, جل, جس, جش, جص, جض, جط, جظ
• ح, حب, حت, حل, حس, حش
• خ, خب, خت, خل, خو, خن
• س, سب, سل, سن, سص, سط, سض
• ص, صب, صل, صن, صو
• ش, شط, شت, شص
• ض, ضن, ضل, ضو, ضب
• ع, عو, عر, عز, عق, عم
• غ, غث, غص, غق
• ق, قر, قز, قو, قط, قم
• ف, فق, فز, فو, فر, فك, فم
• ط, طر, طو, طن, طل, مط, سط, شط
• ظ, ظو, ظن, مظ, ظز
• م, مك, من, مر, مز, مو, حم

Notice how many of them share letters and shapes. That’s deliberate. The more your brain sees similar patterns, the more automatic your recognition becomes.

Visual Feedback and Progress Bar

Learning is much easier when you can see your progress. So the quiz gives you instant visual feedback after every click.

When you choose an answer:

• If you’re correct, your chosen button turns green.
• If you’re wrong, your chosen button turns red.
• A helpful message pops up, showing the correct answer when needed.

Your score appears just under the quiz area. It updates every round, for example:

Score: 7/20

There’s also a progress bar that fills up as you move through each round. It starts at 0% and reaches 100% when you complete all rounds. It’s satisfying to watch it grow, and it keeps you motivated.

Why This Quiz Helps With Quran Reading

You might wonder, “Why do I need this if I just want to read the Quran?” Great question.

Here’s why this quiz matters:

• Quranic words use many of these exact letter combinations.
• You often see letters joined without visible vowels in printed texts.
• Fast recognition of joined letters makes recitation smoother.
• Your brain learns to match sound and script directly, with no English in between.

When you hear “عو” and can instantly spot “عو” on the screen, that same skill helps when you see “عَوْ” in the Quran with vowels. Your reading speed improves. Your confidence grows. And reading no longer feels like decoding, but like understanding.

How to Use the Quiz for Maximum Benefit

You can just click and hope for the best, sure. But if you use a simple strategy, your learning will be much faster.

1. Start with Easy. Get comfortable, then go up to Medium, then Hard.
2. Repeat incorrect rounds in your head. If you miss “غص”, say it quietly and trace it in the air.
3. Focus on dots and shapes. Notice where the dots are placed, and how the curves change.
4. Don’t rush. You don’t get bonus points for speed. Accuracy matters more.
5. Use it daily. Even five minutes a day will make a big difference over a month.

And if you ever feel stuck, remind yourself: every single fluent reader once stared at the same confusing shapes you’re looking at now.

What To Do After You Finish the Quiz

Once you complete all rounds, you’ll see your final score. Maybe it’s 18/20 on Easy. Or 40/45 on Hard. Celebrate whatever you get. Progress is progress.

Then ask yourself:

• Are there specific letters you kept mixing up?
• Did certain combinations feel confusing, like “شط” vs “سط”?
• Do you struggle more with dotted letters or with similar shapes?

Use that reflection to guide your next practice session. You can also go back to the teaching page Learn Arabic Alphabet Part 2A and revise any tricky letters.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to know all the Arabic letters before trying this quiz?

Yes, you should already recognise the basic Arabic letters in their isolated form. That’s why we recommend you first complete the earlier lesson Learn Arabic Alphabet Part 2A and pass the Part 1C Arabic Alphabet Quiz . Once you’re comfortable with those, this joined-letter quiz will feel challenging but manageable.

How often should I take this joined letters quiz?

Ideally, use it several times a week. You can start on Easy, then move to Medium and Hard as your accuracy improves. Repetition is key. Short, regular sessions are better than long, rare ones. Even five to ten minutes a day can build strong recognition over time.

I keep getting confused by similar-looking letters. What can I do?

That’s completely normal. Focus on two things: dot positions and the main shape of the letter. When you make a mistake, pause and look closely at the correct answer. Notice exactly what makes it different. You can also write the pair on paper, side by side, and say them aloud. Over time, your brain will separate them automatically.

Will this quiz alone make me fluent in Quran reading?

Not by itself, but it’s an important piece of the puzzle. This quiz strengthens your recognition of joined letters without vowels, which is vital for smooth reading. For full fluency, you’ll also need tajweed rules, vocabulary, and guided recitation. That’s where a structured program, like the ones at Brightling Minds, really helps.

Can children use this quiz, or is it only for adults?

Children can absolutely use it, as long as they can recognise the letters and click the answers. In fact, many kids enjoy it because it feels like a game. You can sit with them at first, help them choose the correct answer, and cheer them on. Learning together can be surprisingly fun.

How do I know when I’m ready to move on to the next level of study?

A good sign is when you can consistently score high on Medium or Hard difficulty without guessing. If you can quickly recognise combinations like “غص”, “شط”, “قو”, “ظن”, and “مك”, then you’re ready to focus more on full words and Quranic verses. At that stage, consider joining a structured course through our application page .
