I got this text from islamicity quranic memorisation software. Why do they have the l bold/red in: Bismi Allahi alrrahmani alrraheemi?

I thought they were silent???

Or are they bold for that very reason, to indicate that they are silent?

[.: Anna :.]

yes must be to indicate silent...
cos the r is a sun letter so prn that with shadda and keep the lam silent, and the kasra on the end not prn cos its end of sentence.
they must have jst included them for reference so ppl know the spelling but not to say them

Not sure if it's just me, but when some reciters are reciting the quran, the red letters seem to make a sound. VERY faint sound, it's almost like a slight hint of an L mixed with the R. or am i just hearing things?

[.: Anna :.]

i think just hearing things? theres no reason for them to pronounce any of the lam... its cancelled out by pronouncing shadda on the ra and thats it :S

i know there are many many rules in the arabic language, and thought this might be another one...
