Hand writing the Arabic letter "ل" (l) on an educational chart.

The image shows a hand writing the Arabic letter ل (lām) with a black marker. Below it, you can see other Arabic letters and their corresponding transliterations in Latin script (like “dh”, “d”, “kh”, etc.). The letter being written — ل — is pronounced like the English “l” sound, as in “lamp” or “light”.

Looking at the grid:

- Top row: ا ب ت ث ج ح خ د ذ → a b t th j H kh d dh
- Middle row: ر ز ... then the hand is writing ل → r z ... l
- Bottom row: ... م ن ه و ي → ... m n h w y

So the letter being drawn is ل, which corresponds to the sound “l”.

In the bottom row, under where the hand is writing, we can see that the letter ل should be placed above the label “l” — which matches its pronunciation.

Also note: In the middle row, after “ز” (z), there’s a space where “ر” (r) was already written earlier on the right side — so the layout is not strictly left-to-right per row but arranged for learning purposes.

But focusing on what’s being written *right now*: the hand is forming the letter ل, which is the 23rd letter of the Arabic alphabet, and it represents the “l” sound.

✔ Final check:
- Shape: vertical stroke with a small loop at top-left → yes, that’s ل
- Sound: “l” → matches the label below it in the bottom row
- Position: It belongs in the third row, between “م” (m) and nothing else shown — actually, looking again, the bottom row has: y w h n m l → so “l” is last in that visible part.

Wait — let me recheck the rows carefully from the image description:

Actually, based on standard Arabic alphabet order and common teaching charts:

Standard order (partial):

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

Transliteration often used:

a b t th j ḥ kh d dh r z s sh ṣ ṭ ẓ ‘ gh f q k l m n h w y

In the image:

Top row: ا ب ت ث ج ح خ د ذ → a b t th j H kh d dh
Middle row: ر ز ... then hand writes ل? Wait — no, the hand is writing in the middle area, but labels below are:

Below top row: gh 3 Z T → these seem misaligned or perhaps represent different sounds? Actually, looking again:

It appears the chart may have two sets:

Perhaps:

Row 1 (letters): ا ب ت ث ج ح خ د ذ
Row 2 (sounds): a b t th j H kh d dh

Then next set:

Row 3 (letters): ر ز ... [hand writing ل]
Row 4 (sounds): z r ... [but wait, under hand it says "T"? That doesn’t match.]

Hold on — this might be confusing because some letters have multiple forms or the chart uses non-standard transliteration.

Let me look at the position where the hand is writing:

The hand is drawing a vertical line with a little hook at the top left — that’s definitely ل.

Now, directly below that spot, in the lower section, we see the letter “l” printed.

Also, in the row above that (where the hand is writing), to the right, we see “ز” and “ر”, labeled “z” and “r”.

To the left of where the hand is writing, we see “T” — which likely stands for ط (ṭā’), which makes a heavy “t” sound.

And further left: “Z” probably for ظ (ẓā’), “3” for ع (‘ayn), “gh” for غ (ghayn).

So the full middle row seems to be:

غ ع ظ ط ... then the hand is writing ل? But that skips many letters.

Actually, standard order after ط ظ ع غ comes ف ق ك ل م ن...

So if “gh” = غ, “3” = ع, “Z” = ظ, “T” = ط, then next should be ف (f), ق (q), ك (k), then ل (l)...

But in the image, after “T” (which is ط), the hand is writing ل — skipping ف, ق, ك.

That suggests either:

1. The chart is not in strict alphabetical order, OR
2. The hand is writing out of sequence for demonstration, OR
3. I’m misreading the positions.

Wait — looking back at user’s image description:

There’s also a bottom row: y w h n m l

Ah! So perhaps the chart is arranged in columns or groups.

Alternatively, maybe the hand is writing the letter that goes above the “l” in the bottom row.

Yes — that makes sense.

In many Arabic alphabet charts, they show the letter form above its name/sound.

So:

Bottom row has: ... m n h w y — and before that, possibly l?

Actually, reading left to right in bottom row: y w h n m l — that would be backwards unless it's RTL.

Arabic is written right to left, so perhaps the bottom row is:

From right to left: l m n h w y

Which would mean:

Position: far right → l, then m, then n, etc.

Similarly, middle row: from right to left: r z ... then where hand is writing — which would be to the left of z, so perhaps s, sh, etc.? But hand is writing ل, which comes after k.

This is getting messy.

Alternative approach: ignore the surrounding and focus on what is being drawn.

The shape being drawn by the hand is unambiguously the Arabic letter ل (lām).

Its pronunciation is /l/, as in “lion”.

In the chart, wherever it is placed, it should correspond to the sound “l”.

In the bottom row, we can see the letter “l” printed — so likely, the hand is writing the character ل above the label “l”.

Therefore, the answer is simply identifying the letter being written.

Final Answer: ل
