About WP Qu'ran
From the official readme · v0.2.0Description
WP Qu’ran plugin allow you to embed any verse of the Qu’ran. No more hassle with bad copy pasting of verses, no mistake with the number of the verse or the name of the surah, no more issue with the translation, you can display the verse in many languages and have the arabic version next to it with the audio of the recitation as well.
You have the same output in the frontend, you can display the verse in a translated language like French and then in arabic, then you have the verse number and surah name and number for reference.
The surah, editions, and verses data are all available under the public API of https://alquran.cloud/api.
The plugin is just using this data to allow you to embed any of this data inside your WordPress website.
There is no API call done in the frontend of your website, the plugin call the different API endpoints only in the backend when you’re writing your article inside the block editor.
The output of the block you see in the editor will be exactly the same in the frontend (and this content is saved in your post_content column in wp_posts table like a normal WordPress website) except if you have some custom CSS rules.
You can see the terms of use of the API. Thanks to the Islamic Network to allow us to use this amazing API to give you the ability to display any verse of the Qu’ran on your website.
You are highly encouraged to give any feedback to improve the plugin.
You can contribute to the plugin in the github repository.
