As Muslims we do believe that Quran is the word of God and is the
best guidance book ever, in the matter of fact Quran is a program to
be loaded and executed by us .. Humans
Memorizing (loading) and frequent-reading of each verse of Quran
in our heart is indeed a critical objective for each practicing muslim
in oder to execute it and follow its guidance when needed.
In 2014 I was so sad that I was losing (forgetting) many
memorized chapters due to infrequent review, I felt it would be much
better if we could measure and visualize user reading and memorization
of each Quran chapter, so Alhamdu Lillah I created Quran Lights iOS
App on app store while I was in iOS learning track at BadrIT company
where all employees and management encouraged me so much, a couple of
years later I created the web app https://quranlights.net/ because
iOS devices are expensive to have here in my country, I didn't have a
designer and it was a POC, the idea helped me to get motivated and
keep my memorized chapters and reclaim many chapters that needed
re-memorization and even memorized other chapters. app had 4.8 score
on app store, and because my profession is not web development I made
it by following online resources
the app simply provides 114 light cells, each Quran chapter is
represented with a cell, each cell has score that is character count
of chapter text, cell light goes on for user-defined number of days,
during these days light gets darker gradually until it is completely
black by the end of light days unless chapter is read again, a light
cell view looks like a heat map (reversed), user score is calculated
by summing scores of each chapter he reads, this information is then
time stamped , stored, visualized in various charts, daily, monthly
and yearly scores, Quran Radar chart where chapters are spread in
radar/spider view based on days elapsed since last refresh, and some
other visualizations in the iOS app and web app
The plan is to create a social network around this idea where
users can post their recitations and scholars could certify or make
comments on any time point of the uploaded recitation, and other users
could interact with this post creating a connection network
A critical social issue could be prevented by
these Quran measurements , that is divorce,
Divorce happens when the mindset of wife and husband are so far
apart to the point that they can't stand being together.
Given that Quran programs soul, heart and
brain, and given that servant's place in paradise is proportional to
engagement with Quran in current life, then if we could gather couples
with nearly same mindset(program) and who are supposed to be nearly in
same level in paradise then there should be a high probability of a
successful and everlasting happy marriage and united big blessed family
To complete this idea I think it should be designed and
developed by professional team which is beyond
current budget, it took me 7 years to reach current very basic and
primitive state, I think a professional team could get the complete
Quran Lights Network within 6 months to one year inshaAllah.
So Quran Lights Network should be able to
. Measure and
Visualize your engagement with Quran
. Connect with Quran
people
. Get your recitations certified or corrected by
scholars
. Find you the best matching spouse based on your Quran
