Dot to Dot, with 85 minutes filled out of show. For everyone who simply dotty and out, Alexa. Hey guys, Robin here. Today we are looking at a skill that provides us all the chapters from the Holy Quran, which is brilliant.
Normally Quran is spelled K-O-R-A-N, but this is Q-U-R-A-N, which is probably closer to how it might be spelled when it's translated from the Arabic. I don't know. But anyway, the actual passages are in Arabic, and I believe that Muslims learn passages from the Quran in Arabic, so I'm sure that's intentional, even though the menus, etc., are in English. Just to let you know, I'm a Baha'i, and Baha'is believe in all the messengers of God.
We believe that they're all just chapters in an ongoing book, and we have our own, our own messenger of God for today, Baha'u'llah. We absolutely believe in Muhammad, in Jesus, in Abraham, in Moses, in the Buddha, etc., etc. So, yeah, Holy Quran. Let's give it a go.
Alexa, open Holy Quran. Welcome to Holy Quran Voice App. Now you can create a playlist. Select additional reciters or a translation language.
You may request a play, a chapter by telling me, the chapter's reference number. Try saying play chapter 1, 4, chapter, the opening, or say help for more details. Help. Welcome to the help section.
Now you can create a playlist. Select additional reciters or a translation language. Oh, you can have different languages. To create a playlist, while a chapter is playing, ask a letter for the following.
Ask Holy Quran to add to my playlist. And when you are done having your chapters to your playlist, you can ask Alexa to play your playlist by saying, Alexa, ask Holy Quran to play my playlist. To select another reciter, you can ask Alexa to the following. Ask Holy Quran to select reciter 1 or 8.
You have a total of 8 reciters now. To view the list of reciters, you can ask me the following. Ask Holy Quran to list reciters. For translation, you can ask Alexa to the following.
Ask Holy Quran to translate to English or to Urdu. Currently, we have added support for English and Urdu translation. If you would like me to add another translation language, please suggest it at the skill comment section. Please check the skill description for further details.
Thank you. No, don't go. Prayer times is a premium feature. You need to purchase it first.
You can purchase by saying, purchase prayer times. Alexa, ask Holy Quran for chapter 14. Play in chapter Abraham. I'm going to check out.
Isn't that a brilliant sound? I'm going to say, ask Holy Quran for reciter 3. You have successfully selected Abdul-Basid Abdul-Samad. Which chapter would you like me to play?
Chapter 20. Playing chapter Taha. Miss me, Langan, what man, you're watching. Alexa, stop.
God Almighty has spoken the truth. Sorry, I had to turn the echo down because, wow, though, whenever it plays media, as we know, these days it really blasts out compared to her voice. So, yep, got all quiet at the end there. There you go.
I'm sure there are other Quran skills, but this one looks really good. This is Robin signing off, and we'll speak again tomorrow. Feedback, comments, demos. The dot-to-dot podcast at gmail.com.
