A first taste of how the colours sit on the page. The silent hamzat ul waṣl and the lām shamsiyyah are rendered in grey; the prolonged vowels are blue — normal madd in light blue, the permissible madd in deeper blue.

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَحِيمِ

In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.
