The passive voice is recognized from the passive vowel pattern inside the verb.

Compare the same grammatical position in active and passive voice.

لِتُفْعَلَنَّلِتَفْعِلَنَّsingular feminine Ghaa'ib
لِأُفْعَلَنَّلِأَفْعِلَنَّMutakallim singular

The Heavy-Noon ending stays part of both forms; the voice changes through the verb's vowel pattern.

7. When Does Heavy Noon Carry Kasrah?

In the forms where an Alif comes immediately before Heavy Noon, the Heavy Noon itself carries Kasrah.
A dual example:
اِفْعِلَانِّ
A feminine plural example:
اِفْعِلْنَانِّ
The same visual pattern appears in the corresponding active and passive tables.

8. A Simple Map of the Whole System

1. Active Haadhir: 6 direct forms with Heavy Noon.
2. Active Ghaa'ib + Mutakallim: 8 forms with command-Laam + Heavy Noon.
3. Passive: all 14 forms with command-Laam + Heavy Noon.
Then watch the special endings: masculine plural, singular feminine Haadhir, dual, and feminine plural.
