To sound a long vowel (madd), author should write a horizontal mark (macron) above the letter a, i, and u. The double vowel sound (diftong) is marked by marging of the vowel (harakat) and letter to be “aw” and “ay”, such like maw‘iẓah, laylah. Shaddah or double sound is transliterated by writing twice of the letter, like kaffah, ṭayyib. Alif-lam (lam ta‘rif) is transliterated as its origins, like al-manhaj and al-salam. The word which contains ta’ marbuṭah has two signs: first, if the word placed as ṣifah (modifier) or muḍaf ilayh, it is transliterated as “ah”, like al-akhlaq al-karimah, yawm al-qiyamah; second, if the function of the word is muḍaf, it should be transliterated as at, like kalimat allah.
