Our Goal
Daily24434.com is a website which provides a simple, accurate, and beautiful way for non-Arabic speaking Muslims to learn the translation of their daily prayers.
Our Target Audience
This project is NOT an attempt to teach an individual how to pray - for that we recommend seeking the assistance of one’s family, friends, mosques, and Islamic educational books.
Rather, this is simply an attempt to help non-Arabic speaking Muslims gain a better understanding of the translation of what is said in their daily prayers.
Our Work
We worked with designers, web developers, and scholars of Arabic to create an uncluttered simple-to-use reference for the meanings of the daily prayers. We commissioned custom calligraphy art for the Arabic text. We worked with scholars of Arabic to develop translations which are simple, straightforward, and concise.
The Arabic transliteration, translation, and calligraphy have been reviewed by Arabic Language & Translation Services of Culver City, California. The Qur’an published by Saheeh International and The Qur’an by M. A. S. Abdel Haleem of Oxford University Press were used as a basis for the translation. Likewise, our transliteration of the Arabic text is based on the romanization tables of the American Library Association and Library of Congress (ALA-LC). Slight alterations have been made (e.g. the omission of diacritics) for a non-academic audience and to accommodate the rules of Tajweed.
As it is impossible to literally translate the Arabic in our prayers, this is our humble attempt to bring to light the translations of what is recited during prayers.
Our Hopes
We hope that this project helps people develop a stronger connection to their daily prayers and encourages them to understand what they are saying as they are reciting it in Arabic.
This is the preliminary version of the site and we have many future versions planned.
All of our efforts have been made possible only by the Will of Allah, our Creator. Through His Will, benefit will come from this project and our endeavors will continue. All errors found in the site are solely the fault of the site owners as all benefit is from Allah.
