A Quran/Mushaf compiled for the Kindle Paperwhite 11th edition to waste as little space as possible

Overview

This is a compilation/PDF of the Holy Qur'an for the Kindle Paperwhite 11th Gen. It's designed to fit the screen size of the device and thus waste as little space as possible.

It was made using Typst with the Qur'an pages from Kind Fahd Glorious Quran Printing Complex and some data from the Quran.com Android app's source code.

Features

• Uses the Madani Mushaf of 1441
• Has an outline that can be accessed from the device's top bar for easy access to Surahs
• Includes a table of contents at the end
• Page numbers in the PDF correspond directly to page numbers in the Mushaf, making it easy to navigate directly to a specific page through the device's page navigation feature

Compiling

You can adapt the project to any device by modifying the page dimensions in the template.typ file and then compiling the project with typst compile. You will need to have the Amiri font installed. Additionally, you will need to have the Qur'an pages inside the cropped directory with a specific naming convention found inside main.typ. The attached main.pdf uses the Hafs Narration files cropped with Inkscape¹ to remove the unnecessary decorations and padding

Footnotes

1. This is done with the following commands: for file in 1441/*.ai; do inkscape "$file" -i layer-MC3 -o "cropped/$(basename $file).svg"; done ↩
