The answer

The meaning of "analyzing the Book of Allah Almighty" is not clear, and speaking about the Book of Allah without knowledge is dangerous. The seven alifs are alifs that are affirmed when pausing and omitted when continuing. They are: "Ana" (أنا) (throughout the Quran), "Lakinnā" (لكنا) (Al-Kahf), "Al-Dhununā" (الظنونا) (Al-Ahzab), "Al-Rasulā" (الرسولا) (Al-Ahzab), "Al-Sabilā" (السبيلا) (Al-Ahzab), "Salasila" (سلاسل) (Al-Insan), and the first "Qawarira" (قواريرا) (Al-Insan). As for the omission of a word or the deletion of a silent letter to prevent the meeting of two silent letters, one should not proceed with this except by referring to a reliable book in this field, and not by opinion or conjecture.
