Alif; [Letter but not consonant and Two syllabic] consonants of Arabic alphabet ( أبجدية عربية), Laa'm and Mee'm. Initial letter Alif [Aleph] has no speech sound and is not conjoined with the succeeding consonants of the word, while Laam and Meem are conjoined, and both have above them ancillary glyph/prolongation sign/mark which extends/stretches the sound value of the letter to which it is added. It reflects that the Book in hand is in the language that has letters and other marks, representing that its writing system is letter-diacritic combination based, resulting in the combination of sounds that form a syllable, rather than a single sound. The prolongation mark [Madda] reflects that the following letter is still with which it is joined resulting in pause as consonant لـ ends with still ﻡ resulting in natural pause in its pronunciation "Laa'm". And so has the consonant ﻡ the prolongation sign suggesting that it is to be pronounced with stretched sound to make the last still letter ﻡ vivid in sound ending in natural pause "Mee'm-ميم ". Prolongation sign will also appear when the following consonant is "Hamza, ء" which can distinctly and audibly pronounced only if the preceding letter is pronounced elongate. It may be noted that the prolongation sign is not the equivalent nor it represents hamza followed by alif. [First Ayah of Chapter 2;3,29,30,31 & 32] The first Ayah of Grand Qur'aan reflects that the
style of handwriting/written Arabic is
cursive, which means that most of the letters within a word
are directly connected
to the adjacent letters. Arabic style
has a substantially
different shape of letters depending on whether it will be connecting with a
preceding and/or a succeeding letter, thus all primary letters have
conditional forms for their glyphs, depending on whether they are at the beginning, middle or
end of a word, and resultantly they may exhibit four distinct forms (initial, medial,
final or isolated). However, six letters have only isolated or final
form, these are
أ,د,ذ,ر,ز,و
and so force the following letter, if any, to take an initial or
isolated form, as if there were a word break.
The Aa'ya'at comprising of letters and
ancillary glyph have two of such letters
ا
and
ر -
Some letters look almost the same in all four forms,
while others show considerable variation. Generally, the initial and
middle forms look similar except that in some letters the middle form
starts with a short horizontal line on the right to ensure that it will
connect with its preceding letter. The final and isolated forms, are
also similar in appearance but the final form will also have a
horizontal stroke on the right and, for some letters, a loop or longer
line on the left with which to finish the word with a subtle ornamental
flourish. In addition, some letter combinations are written as
ligatures [special shapes;when
two or more
graphemes are
joined as a single
glyph]

The Grand Qur'aan is for the guidance of entire humanity till the Day of Judgment and, in time and space, the safety and security of its original text is the responsibility and concern of the Sustainer Lord of the Worlds Who sent it.

And this is the Book [Grand Qur'aan], We have
sent it. This has been given permanence and perpetuation/the
striking peculiarity of it is that it is prescribed/made to stay for ever.
[It should be remembered that, except Grand Qur'aan, none of the earlier revealed books have been declared as
Indeed We have sent the Grand Qur'aan/the Awakener/Reminder and indeed for him We are certainly the protector/guard. [15:09]
The universality of the Book require that, at its
very outset, it should not place a demand upon its reader, who hitherto
has not read it, or listened it, or believed in it. It would have
created an embarrassment for the new reader
who somehow picked it up in the pursuit of
knowledge and truth, which is the basic stimuli for reading a book. The

unbeliever, or would have given him a chance of raising sustainable objection.

listeners of the Grand Qur'aan had the excellent command over the

communication through this medium. None of

You, the Messenger [Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam] pronounce for the information of humanity, "Indeed my Salat, and all my physical acts, and my life and my death are for Allah, the Sustainer Lord of the Worlds" [6:162] "My life and death" includes all the moments from taking birth/joining the community of beings and parting away from the association of beings. He has said all these moments of him are solely and exclusively for Allah. He is telling us "Muhammad Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam is for Allah". This is the reflection of absolute sincerity. And Allah swt says;
O you the Messenger Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam; swearing is of your age of life. [Refer 15:73] [ع م ر is the period/duration of time when life breathes; first to the last breath] Let us pay our respects and salutations and show obeisance to him in a humble and respectful manner. This will help us to elevate our selves and it will place us amongst those who recognize and acknowledge the honour bestowed by Allah on him and prove us to be unlike and distinguish over selves from Iblees who refused to show obeisance to Adam whom Allah granted distinction and honour.
