With some additional effort, they all can learn to recite another copy of Holy Quran composed on non ERA system.

9. What are the main merits of ERA System, over classical Arabic scripts?

The common classical Arabic scripts were not particularly developed or created to make the recitation of the Holy Quran, easier and friendly to non Arabs. Those had not compromised the rigid and complicated calligraphy of Arabic letters, for the utility and comfort of the non Arabs. As a result, many non Arabs would prefer non Arab fonts, for easy transliteration.

Easy Recite Arabic System has been created, for the utility and service of the non Arab Muslims, keen to recite Holy Quran, in Arabic, in preference to non Arab fonts.

Besides, ERA System guides all readers through wise use of colors. ERA enables them to read exactly what is shown to them. ERA frees them from serious liability of making many judgments.

10. Why ERA System deviates from the age old practice of using same size and same shape dots or 'Nukta' with all its letters?

A sufficient variety and diversity of dots or 'Nukta' have been introduced as a support to the readers. The system insures that each letter becomes more distinct and discrete, from all other letters. It enables the readers to distinguish each phonetic symbol or letter, twice more easily and exactly than in other scripts.

11. Why non Arab Muslims lay so much emphasis on the recital of the Holy Quran, without first learning and mastering the Arabic language?

Recital of the Holy Quran by the Muslims is a devout requirement. It would be grand, if all Muslims could learn and master Arabic language and then recite the Holy Quran. Till then, most Muslims stress on the recital of the Holy Quran, without first learning and mastering the Arabic language.

To help the devotees to sing the prose and poetry of the Holy Text, precisely and accurately, many conveniences, and techniques were developed and incorporated in Arabic scripts, in the past. Some more have recently been added by ERA System.

12. In other type faces, by tradition, each diacritic or 'Tashkeel' carries more than one specific effect. It may contain 2, 3 or even 4 effects, which vary with different situations in the text. How do you treat this puzzle or solve this riddle, in ERA System?

Because an appropriate color is applied to each diacritic, all diacritics in ERA System convey only one single specific effect. Their remains no problems, puzzles or riddles, to be judged, treated or solved by the readers. Green diacritic orders to blend the sound of its letter with next letter. Black diacritic requires its letter to speak without blending. White or Hollow diacritic has no effect, at all. Readers have no responsibility to solve any riddle.

13. Can ERA System be printed like a Latin script, in which the letters in a word appear disconnected or disjointed and are not linked together?

Yes. ERA System and its SCAF produce both types of scripts:

• Typical script, with connected letters in all the words.
• Modern, Latin style script, with detached letters in all the words.

14. How do you tell the readers, to 'speak a Ha' in stead of the 'shown Circular Ta' without learning and applying conservative recitation Rules?

In ERA System, all readers always and easily 'read a Ha' in place of 'an actual Circular Ta,' without learning and applying conventional recitation Rules. The stunt is very simple. ERA System prints a circular 'Ta' using a solid letter 'Ha,' with two hollow dots (of the 'Ta'). To all readers, it appears as a 'Ha' and they have to read it as 'Ha.'

15. How do you claim that the Holy Quran, composed on ERA System, is more convenient and friendly to be memorized by heart?

The ERA System prints are neither monotonous in appearance nor wearing to readers. Instead, each of ERA page is attractive, colorful and distinct from all other pages. Its colored big and thin frames, left, right and center justified large and small lines, make each page a graphic exhibition. Each page leaves a specific 'photographic figure' in the minds of those, who wish to memorize it. Therefore, each ERA page can be memorize by heart, more easily and conveniently than non-system pages.

16. Who has properly proof-read the Holy Quran, exhibited on ERA web site?

ERA System had used three colors, singly and in combinations, to provide smart exact solutions to give correct recitation at all locations. It had been a precise, complex, artistic, arduous work. Learned scholars and learning students, occasionally discover an error or more in Arabic or in the use of color. We request your keen interest, as well, to further proof read the text.

17. Is it possible that, after so many 'made easies' have been added by ERA System, some new difficulties are listed by future learners and teachers of the Holy Quran?

Yes. It is very much possible and expected.

As and when, some new difficulties listed by the readers are taken into serious consideration, their remedies and new 'made easies' are designed and added into the text or typeface of the Holy Quran. This happened in the past. This has happened now through ERA System. And it shall also occur in future. Such series of actions make the recitation of the Holy Quran, more comfortable and relaxed to later students and readers.

18. Can your 'Hollow and Color loaded' technique be applied to other type faces of Arabic, as well?

The technique may also be tried on other Arabic scripts. We feel, it has worked much better with the specially designed Single Case Arabic Font. It is because in SCAF all letters, all the time, have the same specific shape and about an equal width.

Nevertheless, we can offer our knowledge and expertise to those, who would wish to work on such noble projects. Please contact.

19. Why cannot we replace the complicated 4 symbols per Arabic letter type faces, with the simple 2 symbols per Latin letter Latin type face, as was done in Turkey about 90 years ago?

Yes, you can. Already many individuals are typing Arabic in the Latin script. They acquire some convenience, speed, thrill and fulfillment of their purposes, online and off line.

Nevertheless, 'Single Case Arabic Font' provides more convenience, speed and accuracy to the readers, during their recital of Arabic Holy Quran. 'SCAF' is far more befitting than Latin fonts, to print and publish the Holy Quran, for Muslim readers.

Once you understand ERA System of printing Arabic Holy Quran, you shall never think of Latin or classical Arabic scripts. ERA System out performs all other Arabic and non-Arabic scripts. Please be kind to send us your feedback.
