THESE ARE THE FORMS/SHAPES OF the ARABIC LETTERS AS UPPER CASE AND LOWER CASE IN ENGLISH, however, we don't have upper case letters and lower case letters in Arabic and just to make these forms easier to learn, I compare them to the upper and lower cases in English to help you REMEMBER THEM WHEN YOU READ ANY ARABIC WORD OR SENTENCE.
The red color of each letter in all Arabic words above shows you how the main Arabic letter comes at the beginning as initial, middle and the end of any Arabic word.

The Social Studies Help Center , Learn Arabic  :
Those who attempt to learn Arabic are probably familiar with the specific challenges associated with learning this language. One of the greatest challenges that students of Arabic are faced with has to do with the script. The Arabic language has an alphabet that contains 28 letters. Most students find that it does not take long to learn the Arabic alphabet. However, each letter has four different forms. The form that is used depends on whether the letter comes at the beginning, middle, or end of a word. Learning the different letter variations can be a challenge for students. Another characteristic of Arabic that may confound students at first has to do with how books are written and read. In Arabic, books are read from the right to the left.
