[shansuthamedjai]

A growing process of reconnecting back to the ancestral home, since I'm of Gullah people I took some time to get to know the tribes that made up my heritage the Gullah people are made up of many West African tribes such as the Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa-Fulani, Wolof, Mande & Akan just to name a few, of course there's more tribes that also make up the Gullah that I don't know about yet but just knowing this little bit of info allowed me know & understand a lot of traits & customes I share with my predecessors before me☝🏾

Wonderful updates to Quran.com MashaAllah!

To: [email protected]

Assalamu alaikum warahmatullahi ta'ala wabarakatuhu!

I hope this finds the incredible geniuses developing Quran.com in the best health and imaan! I've already sent @QuranCom_ some tweets but just thought I can better elaborate here via email.

Really love the new update to the website where I can now automatically select any range, play the Arabic recitation, and automatically follow along the synchronized highlighted and underlined Arabic script.

Also enjoy the vast amounts of various translations, languages, and audio reciters that are available! Oh and the day and night toggle is a very nice touch too MashaAllah! 🙌🏽

Now I can listen to an entire Surah, no matter how long, without manually scrolling. Speaking of which (Idea/suggesting time #1💡), it would be great if this extends from Surah to Surah so that way, you can listen to the entire Quran and follow along visually 24/7!

(Idea/suggesting time #2💡) Now if only one can also have the transliterations/English translations automatically hover over the Arabic tooltip display when the mouse is idle, that would be incredible! All this while in sync with the audio 🔊.

(Idea/suggesting time #3💡) InshaAllah maybe in the future, there would be even more options to change the tooltip display (i.e. to other languages word-by-word).

(Idea/suggesting time #4💡) Last but not least inshaAllah, a suggestion on the audio front will be to allow for recitations with translations that are already available here.

Here is an idea of what I mean and envision.

Jazakumullahu khayran for all that you all do. May Allah continue to reward and bless you all! 🙏🏽May He continue to grow and maintain Quran.com and all related Qur’an projects! 🙏🏽 May Allah subhanahu wata’ala grant us beneficial knowledge and protect us from knowledge that does not benefit. 🙏🏽 Ameen!
