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.
- Arabic text is reproduced verbatim from the published source and never programmatically altered; we do not perform scholarly auditing of our own, and reader-reported corrections are handled as described below.
- 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:
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 streamed from established published Murattal recordings in the Hafs 'an 'Asim reading, credited to the reciter on each surah page.
- 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. Corrections & Reader Submissions Policy
We welcome corrections from readers, teachers, and Islamic institutions worldwide. As set out on our editorial standards page, this site has no scholarly review board, and nothing here should be read as carrying certified scholarly endorsement.
If you notice any typographical discrepancy in transliteration diacritics or translation alignment, please submit details via our Contact Page selecting “Scholarly & Tajweed Suggestion”. Every reported item is reviewed by our editorial team.
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.
