The first one appears grammatically incorrect..... Because the red y..... Something has to cause it to change from u to y... There is nothing in the Arabic that is causing it to change. The default is u sound... So what is changing it to I (y) sound.... Please explain.... How first one is correct. The second one is correct.... It can be read a number of ways. Depending where you stop... *Periods will indicate stops... *Ya Badi' ul ajaaibu bil khayr. Ya Badi (no stop after the first al badi, stop after khayr,) the a in al ajaaib, (alif which is really a hamzatul wasli) this a sound is dropped if something comes before it.... Ya Badi'. Al ajaaibu bil khayr. Ya Badi (two stops) Ya Badi' ul ajaaibu bil khayri Ya Badi' (no stops) Please correct me if I'm wrong but please explain why it's wrong.....
