بِسْمِ ٱللّٰهِ ٱلرَّحْمٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

We begin by purifying and resetting the intentions.

This project was created for myself to consolidate the Qasidah from various sources into a single resource. Additionally I wanted to be able to capture transliteration and translation in a way that would be easy for a reader to follow, eg while reading the Arabic/transliteration being able to quickly glance at the translation, inspired by the many Quran apps.

I also need to apologise in advance for the mistakes and shortcomings.

There was a further intention to design the system in a way to help consolidate effort within the community. Various Qasida websites exist in various states of completion but often there is no clear way to contribute or update, perhaps the maintainers no longer have the time or otherwise. The project therefore provides a framework for:

1. As a way for the community to contribute back to the collection

1. To allow people to fork the project should they disagree with aspect or create their own variation

The project utilises a json as a way to store the Arabic, transliterations and translations. The intention of this is to allow this system to be used in an API or otherwise such that other applications can consume this effort for their own projects, such as an app.

The intention of a static website generator is to provide a framework that allows this effort to be converted into a PWA. Allowing users to access data offline when possible.

Contributions are welcome and encouraged!

Will follow a pattern where the verses are loaded first, followed by some details.

# Verses loaded via json

For Arabic, translation or transliteration

1. The Google Translate app works really well at capturing the arabic with harakaat (especially for non-printed).
2. Verses where the harakaat has not been captured properly can be recovered using: https://rdi-tashkeel.com/en/home
   1. You can use the dev tools to grab the harakaat version.
3. Minor adjustments can be made online if preferred https://www.lexilogos.com/keyboard/arabic.htm.

AI can provide an excellent starting point for transliterations, consider the following prompt:

Using the Library of Congress Arabic Romanization system, transliterate the snippet below, returning it in the exact same form:
