Summary: In this episode, Eslam discusses the intricacies of short and long vowels in Arabic. He explains the concept of short vowels, known as tashqeel, which serve as decorations on top or under the written letters, and elaborates on the three primary short vowels: FATHA, Kasra, and Dammah. The episode transitions into long vowels, detailing how they are formed by combining one of the short vowels with specific letters, and emphasizes the importance of vowel sounds in pronunciation and stress in Arabic words.
