Since the arabic alphabet has letters that can not be replaced with these English alphabets we substitute them with numbers :) its quite simple and u will get the hang of it very quickly.
The Letters
ح =7 خ =5 ع =3 *غ='3 ص=9 ض='9 ط =6 ظ ='6 ء =2
lets have examples-
words-
candy/sweet = (halwah) replaced with a number =7alawah
good= (khair) replaced with a number =5air
Abdullaah = (Abdullaah) replaced with a number = 3abdullaah
Jealousy = (gheerah) replaced with a number = 3'eerah
Prayer = (Salaat) replaced with a number = 9alaat
misguided ones = (thaleen) replaced with a number=9'aleen
food = (ta'am) replaced with a numbers = 6a3am
obvious = (thahir) replaced with a number = 6'ahir
and as for hamza its a 2 an example i can give for that is my own name A'eshah the (e) would be a 2 ---> 3a2eshah*
Note: the 3 is replacing the letter ain ( but the a is still there to show emphasis to the letter and the 2 is hamzah.)
The 7 is a very nice tool to help differentiate between the letters
ه & ح
*the ( ' ) behind a number repersents the dot on top of the letters.
i hope this was helpful if not i am sorry to confuse you.
