I am a bit confused here. When I read your letters, I see:
A- L - S-H- SH -A- M- S -U .. WHY LETTER " L" IS THERE?????
I told you, you don't change the letters in the article, just add it and pronounce differently.
See,
which is easier to say; alrajul or arrajul ? *very phonetic transliteration*
see?
the "sun letters" are all sounds that are made in front of your mouth, nearly touching your teeth. sh, s, th, d..

The thing is that the "l" from "al" assimilates, or should i say, melts to the consonant what starts the actual word.

clear?
