We continually improve the site — here are the highlights of each release.
v1.0.232026-10-27
Three scheduled Arabic articles from the content plan: Quran class times across the Gulf by country (8 November), the rules of noon sakinah and tanween with examples from Juz Amma (10 November), and a realistic memorization plan for mothers (12 November).
The article on helping kids memorize the Quran at home was updated in Arabic and English: practical fixes when a child gets bored, an FAQ, and links to the Noor Al-Bayan vs Noorani Qaida comparison.
Links from older articles to the new ones appear automatically on their publish day, and article tables now fit narrow phone screens without horizontal scrolling.
v1.0.222026-10-27
Two scheduled articles in Arabic and English from the content plan: “How Long to Memorize the Quran? A Realistic Plan” (3 November) and “Noorani Qaida vs Noor Al-Bayan: Which Suits Your Child?” (5 November).
Four existing articles expanded and referenced: the virtues of memorizing the Quran, how to start hifz, why Tajweed matters, and the Noor Al-Bayan method, with Quran and hadith references and links to the new articles.
Links to a scheduled article stay plain text until its publish day and then become links automatically, so there are no broken links before then.
v1.0.212026-10-26
New article in Arabic and English: “Online vs In-Person Quran Classes for Gulf Families” — the first piece of the content plan.
Articles: automatic table of contents, mobile-friendly tables, hreflang only to existing translations, and future-dated posts held until their day with a daily rebuild.
WhatsApp clicks are tracked in Google Analytics on every page.
v1.0.202026-10-26
Unified every URL on the trailing-slash form (canonical, hreflang, structured data and internal links) to match the sitemap and Cloudflare with no redirects.
More accurate sitemap: real article dates, English x-default, and no noindex pages.
Deeper program pages: search-phrased headings, program FAQs, how-to-start steps, related programs and articles.
Expanded local content for the 12 largest Gulf cities; smaller city pages stay available but are no longer indexed to avoid near-duplicates.
Sample reviews and achievements are hidden until real ones are added, including on ad landing pages.
Quran and hadith references in articles, links between articles, programs and countries, and a latest-articles section on the home page.
Speed: instant home hero, deferred Google tags on regular pages, and lighter fonts and icons.
v1.0.192026-10-06
Stronger Gulf SEO: unique local copy for each country and all 41 cities, a “class times in local time” section with each country’s weekend, and local FAQs making clear classes are online with no physical center.
Improved structured data: FAQPage on country/city pages, Service with a program catalog and Wikipedia-linked service area, fixed Course markup, and the six Gulf countries as the organization’s areaServed.
Stronger internal linking: a full Gulf cities directory on the countries hub, Gulf country links on service and country pages, and titles/descriptions using common search phrasing (“remote”, “female Quran teacher”, “Online Quran Classes”).
Fixed the English header overflowing the screen width on small phones.
