Hamzat al-qaṭʿ retains its essential pronunciation; hamzat al-waṣl is sounded when beginning but normally drops when joined to a preceding word.
Start with ٱسْمُ رَبِّكَ, then imagine it joined to earlier text: the initial hamzah behaves differently.
Taḥqīq means clear articulation of hamzah, tashīl is a specified easing, and ibdāl uses a transmitted replacement.
Passages such as ءَأَعْجَمِيٌّ and ءَآلذَّكَرَيْنِ require the relevant transmitted form. Do not invent a change by analogy from spelling alone.
