Salam aleikum,
Regarding elongation marks: Do scholars allow to have different categories of elongation marks in Quran ?
In terms of pronounciation, it is pronounced exactly the same. What I mean by it in an example (Pay attention to ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ):
Surah Al Fatiha, Verse 2:
https://m.wordofallah.com/1 and https://quran.com/1
> ٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ
https://myislam.org/surah-fatiha-translation/ and my Quran home:
> الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
After the ‘Ayn there is a small Alif in the first one and in the second one there is a big Alif.
Is this allowed by scholars, because I taught the orthography of the bigger letters was always the same (without the harakat and the smaller elongation marks etc.).
