Surah rename required #452

Open sirfana opened 2 years ago

sirfana commented 2 years ago

The well known and famous name of Surah 17 is Bani Israeel whereas on quran.com, "Al-Isra" is mentioned which is not much known. I'd suggest you rename it to avoid any confusion.

Many suras have many different names (sura Al-Isra'/Bani Israeel, Fussilat/HaMeem Sajdah, Ghafir / Mu'min, ...). By default, quran.com uses the default names used by the King Fahd Quran Printing Complex as the default names.

If one is not aware of the alternate names of surah and he is looking for a particular name he knows, is there any facility on website to resolve this possibility?

naveed-ahmad commented 2 years ago

There is none for now @sirfana but we are planning to show names based on the Mushaf type user has selected from settings.

I mean show Al-Isra for Madani Mushaf, Bani Israeel for Indopak.

Do whatever you think is good/useful for your website. One more suggestion is to keep things as simple as possible i.e. many people may not know what "Mushaf" is and what names will fall under what Mushaf?
