About Us
In the name of Allah,
Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
Foremost Arabic Holy Quran is Allah (swt) or Ar-Rahman's Book for entire
mankind. It is He, Who had been, is, and will be its Protector and Custodian. Likewise, it is He, Who made, is making,
and will make its reading / recitation easier for all humans, Arabs or non-Arabs, Muslims and potential-Muslims, living
on all lands at all times. Only the fortunate ones get blessed with His Divine Plans. We pray, ERA Academy is one.
ERA Academy Easy Recite Arabic (ERA) Academy is a not-for-profit organization,
with a Mission. It has delivered a powerful and potentially popular Arabic
text for Nazira Holy Quran facilities. This Arabic text promises spiritual benefits and commercial profits
to those, who accept it and use it.
ERA Academy is registered with Government of Canada. All outlay on ERA
research, development, progress and products have been met by the founder family and near friends. Till now, no sales
were organized and nearly no donations received. Now, we seek donations to sell ERA products at no-profit-prices,
to those who need it most.
Research, Innovations and ERA Text
| 1. |
Since 1972, the founder director of ERA Academy had been coaching reading and recitation skills
of the Holy Quran to non-Arab adults, who had failed or lacked to learn these skills in their childhood. He also
noted that, many teachers used Arabic prayers written in English or Roman, to get these memorized by Muslim children.
He concluded that, "Causes of general frustration and failure, in Nazira Quran activities had existed
deeper in the layout of Arabic Scripts and not in the learners."
|
| 2. |
"Primarily, the Arabic scripts suited and served the readers, who knew Arabic as a language and
had to read it for understanding and contents. Conversely, for non-Arab Muslims, who did not learn Arabic as a language,
learning the skills and science for its vocal reading and recitation, were tough, tedious and treacherous."
|
| 3. |
It made the founder director pray before Ar-Rahman of Al-Quran, to bless him to facilitate non-Arab Muslims:
"Not only, they deliver good reading of the Holy Quran, happily, confidently, and fluently, but also tutor the same to
others, equally well." Ar-Rahman of Al-Quran blessed the founder director with His Mercy and Grace.
|
| 4. |
Firstly, he contemplated: "If gross number of symbols (~120-150) denoting Arabic alphabets
could be reduced to say 30-35, then it would be the first major relief to non-Arab Nazira readers, teachers and
learners of Holy Quran."
|
| 5. |
With over 20 years of research and determination, he patented 'Single Case Arabic Font (SCAF).'
It is a 'Simplified Arabic Font,' like others created by Arabs after 1938. SCAF uses a highly thought, well
architected, single symbol per Arabic letter, in place of 3-6 typical symbols of the past. SCAF works with 30 symbols,
against 120-150 symbols of the past. Under new trend, Arabic is printed with 30 symbols, like English printed with
26 capital letters. Simplification is an eternal relief.
|
| 6. |
Secondly, Ar-Rahman of Al-Quran blessed founder director to discover a technical truth about
Arabic scripts: "From audio-recital point of view, Arabic letters and harakah or diacritics perform no more than 3
types of conducts or behaviors."
|
| 7. |
He found that about 50% of training effort plus that of the reading effort, by learners,
readers and teachers had to be invested, to find out one exact conduct of each letter and harakah or diacritic,
at each and every location, in entire Holy Quran.
|
| 8. |
"If all conducts were 'pre-found' and 'pre-known' to users, then half of their
older effort would be saved for ever, and errors of judgment gone for good."
|
| 9. |
So, he 'pre-found' an exact audio-conduct for each of the 324,000 letters in whole Holy Quran and also for about
the same number of diacritics in entire Holy Quran. There after, he was ready with full data to be 'pre-told'
to final users.
|
| 10. |
Thirdly, Ar-Rahman of Al-Quran granted him a novel, ideally easy, colorful, practical solution to
'pre-tell' an exact conduct or behavior of each letter and each diacritic, to all users, all the time. He
color-coded and re-painted all letters and diacritics and utilized the Traffic
Lights Signals to 'pre-tell' the users, as under:
|
|
| 11. |
Fourthly, Ar-Rahman of Al-Quran helped him to evaluate the attractions of Arabic written
in English alphabets, also known as Roman Arabic Transliterated (RAT) against common Arabic scripts. Further more, He
bestowed all these utilities and merits, innovated and incorporated into the newer Arabic Text,
under preparation.
|
| 12. |
Fifthly, Ar-Rahman of Al-Quran blessed him, to compose total Holy Quran and other Arabic
essentials, using Single Case Arabic Font in 3 Colors. Its names: Easy Recite Arabic System, Easily
Read Arabic Holy Quran or ERA Text etc. etc.
|
| 13. |
Finally, ERA Text is the best suited Arabic script, for non-Arab Muslims, who do not or can not
learn Arabic as a language. On ERA Text, the readers focus only on Green
and Black colors and deliver good results. Comfort based and quality wise, ERA Text is more
user-friendly than Arabic or non-Arabic scripts, including the RAT. As a matter of fact, "ERA is the
biggest one time relief, ever in any era." |
