Feature Request: Addition of Brief Description and Summary Fields to Sermons

Opened this issue · 2 comments

Jazakallah for your dedication and hard work in developing and maintaining this API!

I would like to propose an enhancement that I believe could significantly improve the utility of the API. My suggestion is to add two new fields to the sermons:

Short Description: A concise field that provides a brief overview of the sermon. This would be a couple of sentences offering a quick snapshot of what the sermon is about.

Summary: A slightly more detailed summary that delves into the key points and major themes of the sermon. This would give users a clearer understanding of the sermon's content, aiding in their decision-making process.

There is really no programmatic way to get a summary. One does not exist anywhere in the Awqaf ecosystem, and even if we open the word or pdf files, there's so summary in them. One might get the first 100 words from those files, but those are largely common in most khutbas.

Do you have any suggestions, other than getting a summary manually by reading and then paraphrasing the khutba?

Thanks for looking into this. Perhaps we can make a script that uses chat gpt to generate summaries? 🤔
