Impact of digitalization is not only limited to customer behaviour or businesses rather it has impacted all the walks of life, including the religion, the way people read holy books has also changed. There are around 1.8 Billion Muslims around the world. Holy Book of Muslims is in Arabic but less than 30% of Muslims’ first language is Arabic. To increase understanding of Muslims, Holy Quran has been translated into multiple languages. After digitalization and internet penetration around the globe, there are very few researchers covering Muslims’ experience and expectations with online Quranic sites. In this research, the authors study the experience and expectations of online Holy Quran translation readers. Both primary & secondary data is collected and analysed to understand and gauge the experience and expectations of the users. For providing Holy Quran Translation, there are more than 100 online sites and Mobile apps. In this study, for detailed analysis and exploring the Holy Quran translation users, top 5 sites based on monthly views are selected. To gauge the experience and expectations of users, authors have interviewed 115 online Holy Quran readers.

Tall buildings always have relied on technological innovations in engineering and scientific progress. New technological developments have been continuously taking place in the world. It is closely linked to the search for efficient construction materials that enable buildings to be constructed higher, faster and safer. This paper presents a survey of the main technological advancements on the example of selected tall buildings erected in the last decade, with an emphasis on geometrical form, the structural system, sophisticated damping systems, sustainability, etc. The famous architectural studios (e.g., for Skidmore, Owings and Merill, Nikhen Sekkei, RMJM, Atkins and WOHA) that specialize, among others, in the designing of skyscrapers have played a major role in the development of technological ideas and architectural forms for such extraordinary engineering structures. Among their completed projects, there are examples of high-rise buildings that set a precedent for future development. Keywords: high-rise buildings; development; geometrical forms; structural system; advanced materials; damping systems; sustainability 1.
