Shamsa

Shamsa is a special tool that is used to help people read and understand the Holy Quran. It is also known as a "quranic compass". The shamsa is a circular disc with many lines drawn on it, like the lines of a compass.

The shamsa is placed over a page of the Quran, and it is used to help identify and understand certain important parts of the text. The lines on the shamsa help people to locate specific verses of the Quran, and also to understand how those verses relate to each other.

For example, the shamsa can help people understand which verses are connected to each other, which ones come before or after other verses, and which ones are related by theme or topic. It can also help people to identify the opening and closing verses of the surah, or chapter, of the Quran they are reading.

Overall, the shamsa is an important tool for anyone who wants to read and understand the Quran deeply, and it helps to make this holy text accessible to people of all ages and backgrounds.
