Be aware that the computer renders the font (Arabic) slightly differently in case of 'Shaddah'. Fatah/Zabr appears above Shadda while Kasrah/Zer appears below Shaddah and not the actual letter. You can download a very good arabic font from here.
There are newer versions of some of the Tafsir collections on this site so there maybe some inaccuracies and errors. Please keep this in mind when using our site, iKnowledge.
