Silent letters are letters that you can't hear when you say the word,
but that are there when you write the word.
There are no rules, you just have to learn them
الحروف الصامتة هي حروف لايمكن سماعها
عند التلفظ بالكلمة

ليست هنالك قواعد محددة
يجب فقط ان يتم حفظ هذه الكلمات

P.S
N.B
ملاحظة هامة
:)
these letters : H T K B L W N D G U
are not always considered as silent letters
هذه الحروف ليست دائما حروفا صامتة
(فقط في بعض الحالات)
In addition to that
there are other letters that can be silent letters
in some cases
بالضافة الى ذلك توجد حروف اخرى يمكن اعتبارها حروفا صامتة في بعض الحالات
and let's take the example of letter S
in the word : Island
ans CH in the word : Yacht
لنعطي كمثال لذلك حرف S
و كلمة Island=جزيرة
و CH في كلمة Yacht=قارب
