Which letters in the Arabic alphabet do NOT connect to the next letter?

Question

When writing in the Arabic language there are certain letters that you will notice that will never connect to the following letter whether it is in the front or middle of a word.

Answer 1

These are six letters أ د ذ ر ز و ز . They are known as the ‘kicking letters’ as they kick (do not join to) the following letters although they are joined to the previous letters unless these previous letters belong to this group. I myself call them ‘naughty letters’. Examples are provided in the previous answers, but here are examples when any naughty letter is preceded by another naughty letter:

وِزْر sin

زُور falsehood

زِرّ button

أَزْرَار buttons

أَرُزّ rice

رَذَاذ dribble

وُدّ affection

وَدُود affectionate
