Apply all the rules from this article and to be sure, read the English transliteration and listen to a recitation. In the "fancy" printed version, the letters are often in a ligature, so focus more on the dots, to determine the letter. For example two dots below, mean that there is definitely the letter ي. Two dots above mean that there is definitely the letter ت. | Apply all the rules from this article and to be sure, read the English transliteration and listen to a recitation.

There are many versions of the Qur'an written with different scripts. The Uthmani script is older, but more complicated. The Simple (Imla'ei) script is easier. It's easier to read it in the form of a "computer-generated" text, than from scanned images. The printed Qur'an has additional "stop marks" and widened letters and other "fancy" content, which might be misleading for a beginner reader. | There are many versions of the Qur'an written with different scripts.
