A very useful extension

A very useful extension indeed. Thanks a lot for your work. This will make work a lot easier.

However, I have noticed a little issue I hope you'll consider: names of surahs are transcribed in a very unusual fashion and, if read according to standard transcription in English, they are read incorrectly. E.g. "Adh-Dhuhaa" is read as "الذحى" and not "الضحى", which is incorrect, or, "Ash-Shaaffaat" is read as "الشافات" and not "الصافات", which is too incorrect, because "dh" in English represent "ذ" and "sh" represent "ش", and so on. So, I recommend you stick with standard rules of transription (e.g. the one used by Zekr), not custom ones, to avoid incorrect readings and confusion. Here's a useful link in this regard: http://bit.ly/c22rS8
