It is "علي ولي الله" actually.

Ali is عَلي in Arabic, عalii. ع sound does not exist in English.

:meow-fiesta: Let's learn some Arabic :meow-fiesta:

There are 28 letters in the Arabic alphabet. It’s written from right to left in cursive. There are no capital letters in Arabic.

أ ب ت ث ج ح خ د ذ ر ز س ش ص ض ط ظ ع غ ف ق ك ل م ن هـ و ي

Arabic letters have slightly different shapes depending on where they are in a word i.e. whether they stand alone or are connected to a following or preceding letter or both. We write in cursive which means we need to connect the letters, so they obviously have to adapt to their position in the word. Dw, it all makes sense, and is standardized.

Let’s take the letter "meem" م (m sound) as an example. In its independent (isolated) form it is made of a small circle, a small stroke to the left then a long downward stroke م. Now, when we wanna connect it to a letter after it, it would be quite inconvenient to do the long downward stroke then go all the way up to where the next letter starts :think-about-it: . That’s why we just drop the long downward stroke (the tail), leaving just the small circle and the short stroke to the left مـ

م + ب = مب

So م 's small circle is what we call a core, that part of the letter that distinguishes it, and can never be discarded.

Now let's look at how the letters ب ت ث behave. Remember, they all share the same ٮ shape, and so they behave the same way. The core part of that basic ٮ shape is just the initial tooth (that small vertical stroke) and ofc we still need that horizontal connecting line. The second tooth is considered the "tail", and tails get removed when there is a following letter, so that you can connect the two.

In the initial position (first letter in a word i.e. only connects to a following letter) it turns into ٮـ, ofc you need to add the appropriate dots(s) for the letter :

ب + م = بم

ت + ج = تج

In the medial position (the letter is connected to two other letters) the ب looks like this ـبـ :

م + ث + م = مثم

And in the final position (connected only to the preceding letter) they get back their tail ـٮ :

ب + ت = بت

Now let’s look at these letters س ش ص ض :wtf-am-i-reading: they all have that curved part at the end, and since they all have it, it doesn't help us tell them apart i.e. it is not part of the core, it's the tail. The core is سـ شـ صـ ضـ

After removing the redundant tail, you can still tell them apart, right?

س + ب + ص = سبص

م + س + ت + ض = مستض

In these 2 examples, ص is the final letter, so it gets to keep its tail because there is no reason to remove it. We’d only remove that tail if there was a following letter that wants to connect to the ص, e.g. سبصت

From REDnote

I forgot to take quotes so someone else should do it.

Habiibii, Hayaati, and Hayawaan all start with the letter ح, the sound does not exist in English.

With your mouth open, make a raspy, breathy sound as if you're breathing on glass to fog it up. You wanna constrict the muscles inside your throat so that air can just barely squeeze through.

Your vocal cords should not vibrate.

We transliterate ح as a capital H, so as not to be confused with the h sound in English.

Imagine you just swallowed a spoonful of very hot chili. And yes when ح is the initial letter it looks like this حـ, so that we can connect the following letter to it. Remember, Arabic is written from Right to Left.

How is everyone's cursive?

That is the letter ت, pronounced same as t

Yalla, let's learn some Arabic

There are 2 other letters that look exactly the same except for the dots, here is how to tell the three apart:

The ‫(b sound) ب‬ has the dot below its shell

The word “below” starts with the sound b.

Transliterated as b

The ‫ (t sound) ت‬ has two dots above its shell

The word “two” starts with the sound t.

Transliterated as t

The ث (th sound) has three dots above its shell

The word “three” starts with the sound th.

Transliterated as th

:read-theory:

Remember: these three letters have the exact same shape, only the dots are different. The only reason dots exist in Arabic is so we can easily tell letters like these apart.

Since they have the same shape, they behave the same way when we write them in cursive, which is the only way to write in Arabic. You'll see what this means when we talk more about the script.

Pronunciation examples:

ب (b sound) :

باب   door       baab

ت (t sound) :

توت   mulberry       tuut

ث (th sound, as in three) :

In this example the ث is ثـ

ثَوب   garment       thawb

Edit: there seems to be some confusion about what is wrong with this, I guess we really need those Arabic lessons smh. See my comments or the link @MolotovHalfEmpty@hexbear.net posted.
