The image presents a pattern-based Arabic language puzzle. Each row shows a word in Arabic script, followed by an equation:
```
[Arabic Word] = [Blank Box] + [Another Arabic Word]
```
We are to
fill in the blank box such that when you add the second word (on the right) to the missing part (in the blank), you get the full word on the left.
Let’s analyze each row one by one.
---
1. مَا = [ ? ] + مَ
- Full word:
مَا (MAA)
- Right side:
مَ (MA)
- So, what do we need to add to "مَ" to get "مَا"?
→ The difference is the letter
ا at the end.
So:
> مَا =
ا + مَ
✔ So the blank is
ا
---
2. جَا = [ ? ] + جَ
- Full word:
جَا (JAA)
- Right side:
جَ (JA)
- What do we add to "جَ" to get "جَا"?
→ Again, just the letter
ا at the end.
> جَا =
ا + جَ
✔ Blank =
ا
---
3. قَا = [ ? ] + قَ
- Full word:
قَا (QAA)
- Right side:
قَ (QA)
- Add
ا to "قَ" → "قَا"
> قَا =
ا + قَ
✔ Blank =
ا
---
4. سَا = [ ? ] + سَ
- Full word:
سَا (SAA)
- Right side:
سَ (SA)
- Add
ا → "سَا"
> سَا =
ا + سَ
✔ Blank =
ا
---
5. عَا = [ ? ] + عَ
- Full word:
عَا (AA')
- Right side:
عَ (A')
- Note: This is a bit tricky because the pronunciation is given as "AA'" and "A'", but visually it's
عَا =
عَ + ?
Wait — let's look carefully.
- Left:
عَا (transliterated as AA') — this means the word is "ʿaː", pronounced like "aa".
- Right:
عَ (A') — this is "ʿa" with a fatha (short vowel).
But notice:
عَا =
عَ +
ا?
Yes! Because:
-
عَ = "ʿa"
- Adding
ا gives
عَا = "ʿaa"
So:
> عَا =
ا + عَ
✔ Blank =
ا

Summary of All Rows:
| Full Word | = | Missing Part | + | Given Part |
|----------|---|--------------|---|------------|
| مَا (MAA) | = |
ا | + | مَ (MA) |
| جَا (JAA) | = |
ا | + | جَ (JA) |
| قَا (QAA) | = |
ا | + | قَ (QA) |
| سَا (SAA) | = |
ا | + | سَ (SA) |
| عَا (AA') | = |
ا | + | عَ (A') |

✔ Final Answer:
All the missing parts are the same:
ا
So, fill in every blank box with:
>
ا
This is a pattern where each full word ends with a long vowel (ā), and the right side has the short vowel (a). The missing part is the
long vowel marker, which in Arabic is represented by the letter
ا (alif) when it's a standalone vowel sound.
Thus, the solution is:
```
ما = ا + ما
جا = ا + جا
قا = ا + قا
سا = ا + سا
عا = ا + عا
```
💡
Key Insight: In Arabic, the long vowel "ā" can be written with a final
ا (alif), while the short "a" is marked with a fatha (َ). So adding
ا to a short-voweled root extends it to a long vowel.

✔ Answer: Fill all blank boxes with "ا"
