In Arabic language there are specific symbols that we put on Arabic letters as a vowels, but remember that Arabic vowels/harakat are not a part of Arabic alphabet. they are written as marks over or belong the consonant to make voice long or short, to connect letters in different way.
Understanding the symbols of Harakat/Movements/vowels is very important. without knowing symbols you cannot read Quran properly.
how many harakat are there in quran/arabic/Noorani Qaidah?
There are 11 Harakat in Arabic language:
1. Fatha: It give us sound of ‘A’
2. Kasrah: It give us sound of ‘E/I’
3. Dammah: It give us sound of ‘U’

10. Sukoon: It is used for consonants. It’s shaped like Daal letter or small circle. The letter which has sukoon symbol, we pronounce it by connecting the letter before sukoon. to make it easy we can give example.
In English language, it is like a letter that comes after vowels. example; Big; here we are connection the letter ‘B’ with ‘G’ but in Arabic, we have to put sukoon symbol on ‘G’ to connect with the previous letter ‘B’. and ‘B’ has Kasrah which is representing the vowel ‘I’.
11. Shaddah: It’s a shape like ‘w’ if you see this symbol on any letter, you will have to pronounce that letter twice. instead of writing a letter two times, we write that letter once and put shaddah on it, so it becomes equal two.

3. Standig Dammah is equal to Al-Wao Al-Sagheerah | The symbol of Standing Dammah is bit rounded from the top / upside down dammah / reverse Dummah.
In Ind o Pak script these three symbols represented as Standing Fatha – Standing Kasrah – Standing Dammah. It is the best and easy way for English speakers, specially for biggeners. Because it is very simple to spell.
In Saudi Script these Three symbols represented as a
(1) Al-Alif Al-Sagheerah | The symbol of Al-Alif Al-Sagheerah = small Alif after Fatha
