About Us
In the name of Allah,
Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
ERA Academy Easy Recite Arabic Academy is a not-for-profit organization. It is
registered with Government of Canada. All outlay on ERA research and progress so far, have been met by the founder
family only. Up till now, no sale has been made and till recently, no outside donation invited and
received by ERA Academy.
Research & Innovations Since 1972, the founder director of ERA Academy has been
tutoring reading and recitation skills of the Holy Quran, to adults, who had failed to learn
these skills in their childhood.
He discovered that their causes of failure, existed in the 'Arabic Scripts, Text and the then Print Systems.'
It prompted him to pray to Ar-Rahman of Al-Quran, for His mercy, to bless him. That, he assists millions of
people, not only to render reading of the Holy Quran, happily, correctly, fluently and confidently, but also
to teach the same to others, equally well. Ar-Rahman of Al-Quran blessed him with His mercy, as under:
- He conceived revolutionary ideas of using color as a guide to easy, exact and fluent reading and
recitation, along with some
other innovations and conveniences, in India in 1972. Much later, these got known as:
Easy Recite Arabic System / Script and ERA Text.
- His first research and evolution of Single Case Arabic Font (SCAF), using single symbol for each Arabic letter,
instead of 3-5 conventional symbols for each Arabic letter, took over twenty years.
- Transforming 'SCAF' to computer typography, with manifold ambition to add green, black and white colors into
printed text consumed two more years.
- Next seven years of endurance and experimentation were utilized to produce first complete draft of the Holy Quran.
- All these years and till today, the manuscript is being examined, proof read and inaccuracies rectified.
Internet Web Site As early as was possible the completed 'Surahs' of ERA Holy Quran
were published on Internet and offered for free, for personal purposes. For some time now the whole Holy
Quran is also offered, for free for personal purposes. The URL is:
http://www.EasyReciteArabic.org/Site/Hquran.htm
Trials & Results The founder director and his wife, for the last 8 years, are
teaching conventional recitation skills and ERA skills to adults and children. Some students, who were routine readers
on other scripts, needed serious coaching. Others were fresh learners. Some completed whole ERA Holy Quran.
Others are on their way.
A greater percentage of them turned out to be capable coaches to tutor ERA skills to others.
Some of their opinions are narrated as under:
"Easy Recite Arabic System is very friendly."
"It generates an error free, exact, fluent, happy recitation of Arabic text."
"It refines the quality of 'already qualified' readers of The Holy Quran."
"It fairly caters for crazy modern, westerner, time tuned, ease loving, fast food fans, not very serious
about Arabic and / or their religion."
"It is highly fun full and fruit full to learn or perform recitation on Internet or a CD."
"It motivates its readers to teach and train ERA skills to next stocks of learners."
Book Version & CDs The book versions and electronic discs of ERA Holy Quran shall
now be offered through out the world. It will become feasible with the likely participation of scholars, teachers,
publishers, patrons, sponsors, institutions and organizations. Interested persons and parties are requested to
contact ERA Academy, please.
From Canada and USA, ERA versions of the Holy Quran shall reach all corners of earth and 'Right and Easier
Recitation of the Holy Quran' will be popularized through out the world. Amen.
ERA Academy is committed to its Mission. Insha Allah.
| Final Word from Team |
| 1. |
As and when the teachers, in the subject of recital of Arabic Holy Quran, noticed an obstacle being experienced by their students, they tried to solve their problem and resolved their bother. Later on, their remedy or solution was incorporated into the printing and publishing of the Holy Quran, for the benefit of learners, readers and teachers, of the future.
|
| 2. |
However, the conveniences, alterations and incorporations adopted by various printing and publishing houses of the world, were not exactly the same. Quite a few differences are found between the versions, printed in Mid East and those printed in India. It is because, different conveniences suited different environments and local requirements.
|
| 3. |
We honour, praise and pray for all those whose contributions are reflected in the current versions or copies of Arabic Holy Quran.
|
| 4. |
The present day students are more time-conscious, technology-tuned, more occupied in profession, hobbies and interests, ease loving, effort shy, materialistic, argumentative, rebellious, rational and modern. They point out their own inconveniences, problems and pitfalls, when learning, reading and reciting Arabic Holy Quran.
|
| 5. |
It is their right that, their problems must also be acknowledged, treated with passion and fresh conveniences introduced into Arabic Holy Quran, as was done before, in the past.
|
| 6. |
It is the responsibility of present day tutors, publishers and all others, associated with the service of the Holy Quran, to invent and introduce new and novel conveniences into Arabic Holy Quran, as was done before, in the past.
|
| 7. |
One responsibility of a modern teacher is to identify students, who may have some learning disability and then develop learning strategies for them. A person, deficient in learning through one approach, may often succeed through another approach. Traditional methods and approaches for coaching are never perfect and flawless. New evolutionary methods and techniques must be developed and tried. Don't abandon weak learners. Ensure all students, including those with learning disability, to succeed.

In this period of time and in many English countries, each and every teaching and tutoring aspect has been simplified and made extra easy. 'Recitation of Arabic Holy Quran' for all learners, beginners and professionals, should also be simplified and made extra easy. An extraordinary, rather revolutionary, modern Print System was required to serve reading, reciting, tutoring and memorizing Arabic Holy Quran. It had to be Readers' Friendly, Students' Sincerely, Teachers' Truly and a Buoy for the Beginners.

Single Case Arabic Font and Easy Recite Arabic System were conceived, developed and perfected by our founder director, Dr. Syed Mohammad Khairulbashar, in India, Pakistan and Canada. His aspiration had been that every Muslim, living any where in the world, should, not only recite Arabic Holy Quran keenly, correctly and comfortably but also teach and tutor its recitation to many others happily, confidently and effectively. His want was so deep and great that it made him anxious, since he was 40.
|
| 10. |
He takes this opportunity to thank all those who supported his research, development and result. Their contribution was effective and instrumental. Without them all his work would not be possible. His sincere gratitude to all those, who appreciated and guided him and all those, who prayed for him and supported him.
