📘 Explanation in English:
Sukūn ( ْ ) is a diacritical mark that indicates no vowel follows the consonant.

The sound of the letter is pronounced without any short vowel (a, i, or u).

Sukūn is commonly used to:

Stop on a consonant (e.g., in final position)

Show that a consonant is followed directly by another consonant (in syllables like ab, il, um)
