Sorry for the late reply. I had an accident with my server and had to fix it. I was sick too but I'm back

Why don't we make the menu bar with 2 rows ?
Pressing the menu button will bring 2 extra rows on top with the icons you are suggesting ?

1 for extra functionality and the other for recitation functionality ?

We can also keep 6 icons per row instead of 5 in portrait mode and maybe more in landscape ?

Sura recitation cannot be 1 button because we can have multiple suras per page. It could invoke a selection dialog however.
