Abdul Raziq,

me_quran is my font. However, the screenshot that you attached is not my
font, but rather IOS system font. The system font uses AAT, and not
opentype. If you are satisfied with the result, than that's fine, but don't
expect to get a better result without someone from Apple to work on it.
