Request for a template for Hijri Date

There should be a template for Hijri date. If we would write 1/9/1445 in the template it will give the resulted text as: 'Hijri: 1 Ramadan 1445' or '1 Ramadan 1445 AH' and if the date or month is not known only the year would be shown and would also convert the Hijri date to Gregorian date.

Digital Quran?

I'm quite confused as to what the article digital Quran is meant to be about. Is it about…

1. …antique dedicated devices for displaying the Holy Quran, similar to electronic pocket dictionaries? [1]
2. …twenty year old desktop devices which display the Quran? [2]
3. …Quran devices for the blind with braille TTY output? [3]
4. …digital audio players specifically meant for Quran playback, with buttons for each surah or some other means of surah/āyah selection? [4]
5. …websites meant for the display on a user's pre-existing device of the text of the Quran, such as the Omani Digital Muṣḥaf? [5]
6. …downloadable ebooks of the Quran, which may or may not come as full applications for mobile phones?
7. …possibly even Quran pen devices, which are physical maṣāḥif made of digital paper? [6]
8. …some combination of these topics, or all of them?

Some guidance would be appreciated; it seems out article on the subject is quite old and has just been expanded and expanded as technology has changed with little regard to how different these types of digital Quran are from one another.

@Psiĥedelisto: An article for Thomas Milo was deleted. He was the creator of Arabic unicode (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Thomas Milo) - (Original text here). If you would consider helping reinstate that article that would probable motivate me to improve this article? Tiny Particle (talk) 12:59, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

@Tiny Particle: AfD decisions are ideally based on source availability not article quality. Psiĥedelisto (talk • contribs) ^{please always ping!} 14:37, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

@Psiĥedelisto, digital Quran, simply should mean the electronic versions of the book, pdf/epub/ebook, and else. _Regards, Aafi ^(talk) 17:19, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

RFC on Jewish Chronicle

There's an RFC on the suitability of the Jewish Chronicle as a source here. I thought folks here might be interested, since I see Islamophobia is a top priority. CoolAndUniqueUsername (talk) 04:03, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

Template for muslimsinbritain.org

I updated several external links from mosque articles to muslimsinbritain.org, including five in this list. However, to simplify future maintenance, it would be worth making an external link template to use in these citations. – Fayenatic London 16:05, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
