In some parts of Africa such as Somalia, the "lawh" (the wooden-like tablet above) is used to write and memorize the whole Quran from. Truly amazing, indeed. Masha’Allah.

Niger would not likely use a script different to what we use, its really only northern and north-eastern Africa who differ on this. As long as what is being written is still in an Arabic script we don't call it a transliteration. The only case I have ever seen Arabic being formally transliterated is in Chad and in Lebanon (amongst pretentious, nationalist Maronites) and of course on Internet chat... 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 and 9 are meant to be numbers, not letters!!!

They have different scripts in Africa, and in some parts of west Africa, they recite in different qira'aat. Like how Egypt is known for warsh, west africa is known for it's warsh and dooree recitations. (and each qira'aat usually has it's own mushaf) that's what we learned in Route 114 with shaykh Yasir Qadhi. mashaAllah I stared at it for a long time and couldn’t make out anything except the basmalah and samaa’, you guys have good eyes!

The next line is hard to read anything from. but then the ayah (20) clearly stands out. Then after that, i don't think its from Surah burooj except the very last ayah (22) "fee lawhin Mahfoozh" yes, he is reading from Surah burooj but in the end it kinda mixes up (maybe he memorising some ayahs separately or something)

i can clearly see that it starts from the ayah (14)- “wa howal ghafoorul wadood”

then in the middle its hard to get any word. then you read the ayah (17) – “hal ataaka hadeethul junood” (if you look carefully the word “junood” stands out.
