  • Is it correct to assume that you're asking about the filled black dot above the Alif in the highlighted letters?

See, the different riwayaat of Quran recitation may have different connotations meant by that filled dot. I will speak from my experience with the Riwayaat Hafs 'an 'Asim. The filled dot, like in Surah Fussilat, means that you can pronounce the dot in two ways: either as a normal hamza or a very subtle, breathy ha. Like, in Surah Fussilat, the word ءَا۬عْجَمِىٌّۭ, you can pronounce it as either a-aa'jamiyyun or a-ha'jamiyyun.
