Add the ability to zoom in/out of Arabic Quran images.

Add the ability to increase/decrease font size of Arabic Madani Quran.

i'd only do this if it makes sense honestly - a lot of people request this on Android, and i've ignored it because i never really saw the point - you can use landscape if you want larger sizes for the images, but allowing zooming while reading will be cumbersome ux (ex the iPhone Islam Quran app has it, and it's not very usable in my opinion - you'd have to be panning around tiny parts of the screen, etc).

but ultimately it's up to you - not totally against it, just never ended up feeling a strong need on Android.

I also see it as a bad UX. Actually, the main point is the ability to increase the font size. But the only way to do it is using Quran fonts instead of images.

But let's keep this for our reference in case we decided to use font at some point in the future.

Quran fonts instead of images will also reduce the size of the app.
