Didn’t you mix up the badal and the mubdal minhu?

For example: هاذا البَيتُ كَبِيرٌ

هاذا= mubdal minhu
البَيتُ = badal

Not the other way around.

And there are different types of badal, it’s not always related to a demonstrative pronoun. And it can be a proper name.

Like: Akheeka Bilal taalib (your brother bilal is a student) Bilal=badal.

How about Surah Baqarah ayat 2?

ذَلِكَ الْكِتَابُ لاَ رَيْبَ فِيهِ هُدًى لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ

with ذَلِكَ الْكِتَابُ as the badal.

Yes, haoolaai was spelt wrong, jazakumullahu khayran. For haadhaa and haadhihi, the alif after the ha is usually written as a small alif; for the sake of clarity, we include that! And yes, it should be “badal”, not “badl”

Shouldn’t هاأُلاإ be written as هؤلاء , and هاذا & هاذه as هذا & هذه respectively? I think that “badl” is pronounced as “badal”.

Other than that, I think it is a very informative lesson.
