Salam and greetings, Sr. Ruby. It is my utmost pleasure to see this site (Consult Quran). It is an ambitious project and up to a healthy start. I have already shared some suggestions to improve the visual presentation as well as the navigation of the site. I also believe that the "Fundamentals" you mentioned on the home page should be reduced to fewer. One of the problems Muslims themselves have created is to elevate everything (or too many things as fundamentals). The beauty of Islam is its simplicity, and one aspect of this beauty is that its fundamentals are simple, straight-forward, unambiguous and yes, in my humble view, FEW. Too many fundamentals make viewers, learners and followers lose track of their priorities. You may consider reducing these fundamentals to fewer and move some of these as details to inside pages. Just a thought. Regardless, may Allah bless your effort so that this site can grow further and be a resource for those seeking better understanding of Islam and its various aspects in our contemporary, contentious time. Fi amanillah.

Thank you Brother for your thoughtful comments. We are fixing some of the layout problems you have mentioned. However, regarding the Message of the Holy Quran [the center-piece message] I could not agree with you very much. I have gone through point by point again and I could not cut down much. These are some of the root ideas about which there are a lot of misconceptions causing deviations, divisions and conflicts in the Muslim world. It is true that the essence of the Quranic Message is simple. However the complexities the 'umma' faces demand that these issues be touched upon in the main message of the site.
