Text-heavy Arabic, Urdu, and English Islamic formatting — institutional reference works, Quranic and Tajweed-sensitive titles, bilingual Arabic-English books, and self-published manuscripts. Each project below is organized by type, so you can find one closest to what you're actually working on.
Multi-volume reference series and heavily footnoted, cross-referenced texts — kept legible and correctly numbered even when references stack up page after page.
The Challenge
AAOIFI's Sharia Standards, originally in Arabic, translated into Urdu standard by standard by multiple scholars, then reviewed by a review board whose notes and changes had to be incorporated — all compiled into a single 1,400-page volume, sponsored by the Islamic Banking Industry of Pakistan and multiple banks.
What We Did
Outcome
A single, internally consistent 1,400-page reference volume, managed by AAOIFI and sponsored by the Islamic Banking Industry of Pakistan and multiple banks.
This kind of structural, reference-heavy work is handled under Arabic Editorial Formatting.
The Challenge
A religious publisher needed a Quranic text with complete tashkeel and tajweed-sensitive layout, where minor diacritic errors would be unacceptable to readers and religious reviewers — see why a diacritic error is a meaning risk, not just a visual one.
What We Did
Outcome
A Quranic text that passed religious review without formatting-related corrections.
This precision-formatting process is covered in full under Quranic Text Formatting.
The Challenge
An independent author with a completed bilingual Arabic-English manuscript needed it formatted for both Amazon KDP and print-on-demand, with no prior publishing experience and a tight timeline.
What We Did
Outcome
Two publication-ready files, print and EPUB, that passed KDP's technical review without rejection.
No prior publishing experience was needed going in — the manuscript review at the start caught the RTL/LTR issues before layout began, not after.

Checking a portfolio this closely before hiring is worth doing everywhere. See Red Flags to Avoid When Hiring an Arabic Book Formatter.
