About this worksheet

Faa (ف) is the twentieth letter of the Arabic alphabet. It is pronounced as an “f”, like the “f” in “fish”.

Faa is a small round head with one dot above, followed by a flat tail along the line. This worksheet practises all four positional forms — isolated (ف), initial (فـ), medial (ـفـ) and final (ـف), with stroke-direction arrows to guide each movement.

You will find Faa at the start of everyday words such as فيل (elephant) and فراشة (butterfly). Writing tip: Keep the head small and round, and keep the tail flat on the line — a dipping tail turns it into Qaaf.
