Harakat
Arabic letters are consonants and they don’t read on its own. The letters are spoken by the following signs on the top or bottom. We call this signs as harakat which means movement.
There are three harakat; fatha, kasrah, and damma.
Fatha 
The Fatha sign is a small line placed above a letter. The Fatha enables the letter to produce the soft letters (blue boxes) with a short “a” sound except ع – ر – ح.
If the Fatha sign on the gruff letters (green boxes) produce a slightly more “o” sound.
