السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
First and foremost I want to thank you for creating this wonderful app. It has helped hundreds of people, may Allah reward you for all your efforts.
As for my issue, I am facing difficulty while doing the challenge in a limited time. I suffer from adhd and other illnesses so the time limit makes me hyper and unable to concentrate. So most of the time I am pressing buttons from memory without learning. If it would be possible can you increase or maybe consider removing the time limit. I really enjoy translating the verses but even after repeating the challenge several times I am unable to learn much due to my condition.
This could help a lot of people who have my condition. Please see if this is possible.
Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh Jazakallah khair for your kind words and duas. Ameen. This is just the beginning insha’Allah. It will become something incredible.
I’m sorry to hear about your condition. And I can fully sympathize with it.
The entire purpose of the challenge is for you to basically answer things from instinct. Because you don’t want to spend a lot of time thinking about the answer because then you don’t know it well enough. If it comes to you right away, then inshallah you’ll be able to understand the Quran in salah whenever you hear it. But if you really have to sit and think, then you don’t really know it. So that’s the purpose of the timer, to like really build in that speed of recall that is necessary to be able to best understand the Quran during Salah.
Removing the speed entirely is possible, but it’s going to make the point system, the scoring, all of that a little bit more challenging because some people only have a minute and others will have you know as much time as they want and like how do you make keep things fair in that sense. The practice challenges allow you to take your time even though it’s still the one minute timer you can basically do it as many times as you want. I think for the practice challenges we can likely remove the timer because that won’t really have much of an impact on anything.
So let me think about that and inshallah we’ll consider that. BarakAllahu feekh for your suggestion and your thoughts.
Maybe offer both options? For me the speed works exactly like you describe: it teaches me to recognize words on instinct. And alhamdulilaah, since I discovered this app last June, my understanding of the Quran improved so much!
I can actually understand ayaat while reciting/listening to a recitation!
May Allah reward those who make this app possible!
My suggestion is an infinite challenge which is simply just ongoing (whenever the user enters the app) and basically when a person enters it for every ayah or part completed they get 1 point. The infinite challenge stays with the progress you made in it until you exit / close the app
The other idea is that there is a daily Surah or part of it in the reading section of Kalaam. A person has infinite time to complete it and can progress through it slowly and understand the Surah at the same time. This would be really great and would help build connections with Surah of the Quran. I also think you could get a set number of points or a badge for completion of a part or Surah. I really like the sound of having a Surah to progress through, check your understanding of the words you learnt, all while learning more about the Surah and what it talks about
