Glory to You, You grant whomsoever You will, and You withhold. O Allah! My Creator, fortress and refuge! To You do I resort, in hardship and in ease, for relief. O Allah! Even if my sins have become grave and numerous, Your forgiveness is far greater and without a limit. O Allah! If I had given my soul all that it desired, Here I am reveling in the land of regret. O Allah! You see my condition, poverty and destitution, And You hear my softly whispered supplication. O Allah! Do not sever my hopes, do not distract my heart (From loving You), for I anticipate Your boundless generosity. O Allah! If You disappoint me or chase me away, To whom shall I plead? Who can intercede for me? O Allah! Protect me from Your torment, indeed I am A captive, abased, fearful and subservient to You. O Allah! Be kind to me by inspiring me to articulate my excuse When the grave becomes my abode and resting place. O Allah! Even if You punish me for a thousand years, My hopes on You, nonetheless, will never be severed. O Allah! Let me savor Your forgiveness on the Day, When neither progeny nor wealth will be of any avail. O Allah! If You do not look after me, I will be lost! But if You do look after me, I am never lost. O Allah! If you do forgive only the doers of goodness, Who is there for the disobedient one indulgent in his desires? 9 O Allah! Even though I have been negligent in pursuing piety, Here I am now tracing and following the path of forgiveness. O Allah! If I have sinned in ignorance, I have also often been Solicitous until others wondered why I am in such anxiety. O Allah! My sins have become like mountains or even higher, Yet Your ability to pardon is greater and still higher. O Allah! Remembering Your might alleviates my sorrow, While remembering my sins causes my eyes to shed their tears. O Allah! Amend my slips and efface my every sin, For here I am confessing, terrified and beseeching. O Allah! Grant me peace from You and tranquility, For I knock at only the gate of Your mercy. O Allah! If you distance me from Yourself or debase me, What recourse will I have, Lord? What should I then do? O Allah! Those allied in Your love remain awake nightly and remember, You, entreating and praying (to You), while the unmindful ones slumber. O Allah! Here are creatures: Most of them are sleeping, But the mindful ones spend the night to You supplicating.

Moreover, Hamza a What is not has its origin as Hamza a, and this Hamza a is not found in the deep structures of the words that were mentioned by Hamza a in their superficial structures, and it is either arising from illusions and wrong measurement, or by getting rid of an repulsive vocal situation, or it is the result of a specific dialect.

There are many Islamic websites and applications dedicated to the educational services for the Holy Quran and Its Sciences (Quran Recitations, the interpretations, etc.) on the Internet. Unfor- tunately, blind and handicapped people could not use these services. These people cannot use the keyboard and the mouse. In addition, the ability to read and write is essential to benefit from these services. In this paper, we present an educational environment that allows these people to take full advantage of the scientific materials. This is done through the interaction with the system using voice commands by speaking directly without the need to write or to use the mouse.

This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract Quran has ten famous recitations and twenty different narrations. It is well known that the best way is to learn from qualified and authentic scientists (Sheikh's) in one or more of these narra- tions. Due to 1) the widespread of the Internet and the ease of use and availability of computers and the smart phones that enables access to the Internet; 2) the business of people hindering them to attend physical learning environments; and 3) the very few number of elder licensed scientists, we have developed a virtual learning system (Electronic Miqra’ah). Scientists can supervise re- motely the registered students. Students (from different ages) can register from anywhere in the world given that they have Internet connection. Students can interact with the scientist in real time so that they can help them memorize (Tahfeez), guide them for error correction, and give them lectures or lessons through virtual learning rooms.
