Consider reorganizing sura names #800

Brother Abdul-Raqeeb, who added the German sura name translations, suggested something like this:

Meaning, remove Makki/Madani and number of ayahs from subtitle, and put surah translation instead?

ahmedre commented 7 years ago

ah, good point - also the number of verses - i wonder if there's a way to reconcile all of those together. the problem with the German names especially is that they're way too long, so it looks pretty bad to have them next to the Arabic sura name.

ozbek commented 7 years ago

Not directly related, but German translation has repetitions (e.g., Ta-Ha is used both in original name and in translation): they could skip the translation if it is same as the original. Also, too many parentheses are used: using comma would be OK and would look better.

Or maybe like this? media-20170207

@Omerturger Yes, I did think about that version. However, that will make list items of various height (as can clearly be seen from the screenshot you have posted) because not all surah names have translation.
