The women's Quran recitation is being created by a group of women who are preparing an app for a new release. They are working on the app's UX UI design and editing team is also working on improving the recording quality. The group is not yet announcing the app's launch, but they hope to have a successful launch in the future.

00:00:00 --> 00:00:01
			For those of you ready to listen to
		
00:00:01 --> 00:00:04
			women's Quran recitations from around the world.
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:06
			Alhamdulillah, since Qariya came out two years ago,
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:08
			we have been doing so much internally, and
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:12
			now we are inshallah finally ready to hire
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:14
			a part-time full tech team.
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:17
			They have been working so hard on preparing
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:19
			the app inshallah for our new release this
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:21
			Ramadan inshallah, which is going to inshallah include
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:26
			different masahif, that means different masahif in different
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:29
			riwayat, different qiraat of the Quran inshallah.
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:31
			We are working with women who are now
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:34
			on our grant scholarship fellowship program to inshallah
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:36
			record the entire Quran.
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:40
			Your support has allowed us to inshallah facilitate
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:43
			for more recordings of those surahs being recited
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:46
			by women in different qiraat and in different
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:47
			parts of the world.
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:50
			Alhamdulillah, we now have better tech so that
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:53
			inshallah the quality of those new recordings that
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55
			are being done will inshallah last.
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:56
			We pray for centuries.
		
00:00:57 --> 00:01:00
			We have an amazing executive director alhamdulillah who
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:03
			is working on ensuring that inshallah we can
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:06
			start accepting new Qariyas onto the app inshallah.
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:09
			Our editing team is working on inshallah cleaning
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11
			up recitations so that when we receive them
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:14
			and you hear them they sound inshallah beautiful
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:15
			and clear.
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17
			And the UX UI design work is inshallah
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:21
			going to allow for the new features that
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:24
			include picking specific ayahs that you can play
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:26
			over and over as many times as you'd
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:27
			like inshallah.
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:31
			Listening in women's voices in different translations around
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:33
			the world which inshallah we'll make more announcements
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:35
			about in different languages inshallah.
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:37
			And while we are not announcing it yet
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:40
			inshallah we are going to have a really
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:44
			exciting interactive way of engaging with Qariya inshallah
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:46
			for the Ramadan to come inshallah.
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:48
			The after this inshallah.
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50
			This update inshallah will include a share button
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:52
			where you can share a recitation or a
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:54
			reciter with your friends who have Qariya or
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:56
			who don't and who can download it and
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:58
			inshallah listen and inshallah in the future you
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00
			can do so much more with those friends
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:00
			inshallah.
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:03
			But I will be honest the reason why
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:04
			we've been a little bit slow is because
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:07
			we were fully a volunteer team and volunteers
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:10
			are incredible and most of our team are
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:12
			still volunteers but they can only do as
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:14
			much as their time allows them to do
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:15
			by Allah's mercy.
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:17
			For us to grow to inshallah the app
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:19
			that we really want to become we just
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:20
			need funding.
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:22
			So far we've been completely privately funded and
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:24
			we are a free app on Google Play
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:25
			or Apple stores that you can download right
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:27
			now but we don't cost anything for any
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:29
			users and we simply cannot keep up with
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:32
			our costs if we continue to be free
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:33
			but we want to be free because we
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:36
			want to ensure that women who live in
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:38
			any part of the world can access us
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:38
			easily inshallah.
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:41
			We want to take Qariya from a mainly
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:44
			volunteer-based organization to a full-time non
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:48
			-profit inshallah that is going to change the
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:50
			way that we engage with the Quran as
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:52
			women inshallah and if you are open to
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:55
			donating please consider donating today the link is
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:56
			here and in my bio and don't forget
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:58
			to share Qariya with your friends around the
		
00:02:58 --> 00:02:59
			world we're so blessed that we have been
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:02
			downloaded in almost every single country of the
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:02
			world.
