Qalqalah question #8

Closed ahmedre closed 8 years ago

ahmedre commented 8 years ago

@asimmohiuddin should we separate out the cases of qalqalah - for example, consider the second ayah of sura baqarah - your algorithm detects the ب in "رَيْبَ" as qalqalah - the tajweed mus7af doesn't. in this case, both are correct - it is qalqalah if you stop on it (as the three dots tell you that you can stop on it, provided you don't stop on the next 3 dots), but if you don't stop on it, it's not qalqalah.

my guess is that, in hafs, people typically stop on the second stop instead of the first one, and hence they didn't highlight it.

so i guess the question is, do we want to match the mus7af, or should this be configurable? btw, quranflash.com has a tajweed mus7af you can compare with.

By separate out do you mean have a slightly different shade in the color coding or something like that? If so, I guess we can go either way. It seems like we will have to make a lot of judgement calls. Issue #7 is also a judgement call since not all ayahs can be joined. I have seen a tajweed mushaf (one at my house) that has the ba marked for qalqalah so I am guessing there is no set standards which makes it harder to pick. Perhaps the best way like you said is to make it configurable to fit a wide variety of projects/preferences.

We have determined that there are two mainstream types of tajweed mushafs (one pattern mostly found in medinah mushaf and the other mostly found in naskh mushaf). They both take different approaches in highlighting and both make sense. We will consider each when doing the rules. This specific "issue" has been "fixed" for the madani mushaf. JazakAllah khayr
