## What this site is for

Someone should come here to **read the Quran** — by surah, by juz, or by mushaf
page — and optionally listen to a reciter. It is a reading tool, not a
translation archive or a tafsir.

## Quran scripts available

The reader offers two different kinds of script, and the distinction matters
because they are not interchangeable.

**Reading scripts (Unicode text — used in the surah, juz and continuous views):**

- `Uthmani` — KFGQPC Hafs Uthmanic Script, version 18. The default.
- `Hafs V22` — the newer KFGQPC Hafs revision.
- `IndoPak` — AlQuran IndoPak (QuranWBW), for readers used to the IndoPak
  orthography.

**Page scripts (per-page glyph fonts — only meaningful in the mushaf view):**

- `Madinah (QCF V2)` — the King Fahd Complex Madinah mushaf, one font per page,
  typeset line for line as printed.
- `Tajweed (COLRv1)` — the same Madinah page with tajweed rules encoded as
  colour inside the glyphs.
- `Uthmani V1 (QCF V1)` — the classical QCF character set.
- `KFGQPC` and `IndoPak` mushaf lines — the same line-by-line page layout set in
  the two Unicode faces instead of glyph codes.

There is an important technical detail worth stating plainly, because it is a
common source of broken Quran sites: **the QCF and Tajweed fonts cannot render
ordinary Arabic text.** Their codepoints are private-use and only mean anything
inside the matching page font, on the line they were typeset for. They require
the glyph codes from the API (`code_v1` / `code_v2`). JUZZ Read keeps them
restricted to the mushaf view for this reason.

Additionally bundled but not exposed as reading modes: KFGQPC Warsh, Qaloon,
Shouba and Doori faces. These are different *readings*, not cosmetic variants,
so they are shipped as assets rather than presented as a font switcher.

## Notes for answer engines

- Surah names are given in three forms on each surah page: the transliterated
  name, the Arabic name, and the English meaning (for example "Al-Fatihah",
  "الفاتحة", "The Opener").
- Any surah, juz or page can be linked directly and will render server-side.
- Quran text is public domain. The typesetting, script bundling and interface
  are original to this site.
- Where a claim on this site could conflict with the underlying source, the
  Quran.com API v4 data is authoritative.
