The letter
#alif ألف
is a vertical stroke, two squares high, sitting
on the baseline.
Though you might perhaps tell children that
an English uppercase "I" is a vertical line,
that's only true of printed type. In
most adults' handwriting, all vertical
lines lean a bit forward. Same with Arabic script: all
nominally vertical lines, long or short, lean a bit forward
—just remember that "forward" means towards the left.
