Editorial Guidelines & Scholarly Standards

Our core principles for textual integrity, Tajweed accuracy, phonetic precision, and non-commercial publishing of the Holy Qur'an.

1. Qur'anic Textual Integrity & Uthmani Standard

All Arabic scripture displayed on Quran Transliteration is sourced strictly from verified Medina Uthmani Mushaf databases (standardized by the King Fahd Complex for the Printing of the Holy Quran and Tanzil.net).

  • No modification of classical Arabic orthography or Tashkeel diacritics is permitted under any circumstances.
  • Zero automated character substitution without prior multi-pass human auditing by qualified Qaris and scholars.
  • Full compatibility with Unicode 15.0 Uthmani text markers, ensuring proper rendering across all modern operating systems.

2. Phonetic Transliteration & Tajweed Auditing

Our English transliteration is engineered to bridge non-Arabic readers to accurate Tajweed recitation. We adhere to standardized ISO-233 phonetic conventions with distinct diacritic marks:

Long Vowels:
ā (Fatha + Alif), ī (Kasra + Ya), ū (Damma + Waw)
Emphatic Consonants:
ḥ (ح), ṣ (ص), ḍ (ض), ṭ (ط), ẓ (ظ)
Gutturals & Stops:
ʿ (Ain / ع), ' (Hamzah / ء), kh (خ), gh (غ)

3. English Translation Selection & Fidelity

For our primary English translation, we utilize the widely respected Saheeh International translation, recognized for its clarity, linguistic precision, and fidelity to mainstream Sunni orthodox Tafsir.

Translations are rendered side-by-side with Arabic text and transliteration to preserve context and eliminate misinterpretation.

4. Audio Recitation Alignment & Qari Selection

Audio recitations are sourced from world-renowned certified Qaris specializing in Murattal recitation according to the Hafs 'an 'Asim reading.

  • Word-by-word timestamps are calculated using high-precision audio signal processing.
  • Timing boundaries are validated across all 114 Surahs to ensure highlight synchronicity during playback.
  • Available reciters include Mishary Rashid Alafasy, Abdul Rahman Al-Sudais, Sa'ad Al-Ghamdi, Mahmoud Khalil Al-Husary, and Mohamed Siddiq El-Minshawi.

5. Scholarly Correction & Reader Submissions Policy

We welcome constructive scholarly feedback and corrections from readers, teachers, and Islamic institutions worldwide.

If you notice any typographical discrepancy in transliteration diacritics or translation alignment, please submit details via our Contact Page selecting “Scholarly & Tajweed Suggestion”. All reported items are reviewed by our editorial team within 48 hours.

6. Sanctity & Zero-Ad Commercial Policy

We maintain total sanctity over the sacred text of the Qur'an. No commercial advertisements, pop-ups, tracking banners, or paywalls will ever interrupt reading or recitation on our platform.
