Hi
* Peace be upon you, brother Tariq
Please introduce yourself to the reader, and can you speak Arabic?
* My name is Zuraimie Ismail and I live in Singapore. I am 36 years old. I cannot speak Arabic.
Are you the first to work? Quran program for iPhone? And when was the date of publication?
* Yes, praise be to God, the Holy Quran program for iPhone is currently the first in the world. We want to prove to the world that Muslims, like everyone else, are looking for advancement in technology.
* The Holy Quran Program for iPhone was launched for the first time on October 22, 2007.
How quickly did I manage to create a powerful program like this when programming the phone at the present time is not easy?
* I started developing programs for the Holy Quran for handheld computers since 2001. I started developing programs for Palm devices as a hobby and then developed for programming on different operating systems. So far I have completed the following projects:
A- The Holy Quran of the Palm
B- The Holy Quran for Windows Mobile
C- The Holy Quran for Windows XP / Vista
D- The Holy Quran for Windows Vista sidebar
E- The Holy Quran for mobile online (online version)
And - the Holy Quran for iPhone and iPod touch
We know that you were able to place the Quran among the main sources for downloading programs on iPhone that are supported by a group STE PackingDid you find it difficult to convince them to host an Islamic program?
* Your question is really cool. You can read some other reactions from the community towards STE at this site. But STE thank God is very nice and I have hosted the app without even a mention of race or religion.
Do you have plans to create other Islamic programs for the iPhone phone, such as a program for prayer times or other useful programs?
* God willing, when I raise enough money for the R&D fund, I would like to program a package of Islamic applications.
Do you want to add more about your journey as a non-Arab Muslim in developing Islamic programs ??
* My journey to develop mobile software such as the Holy Quran started about 7 years ago. You see, I was one of the illiterates in reading the Qur’an. This is because in this part of the region that I live in, and also in Southeast Asia, we Muslims do not speak Arabic. We speak Malay and English.
So we learn to read the Qur’an when I was young, but I found it difficult to understand how to read the Qur’an. I can only remember some of the chapters for daily prayers and some supplications.
Then, only a few years ago, I decided that I would be able to read and understand the Qur’an. Since I loved technology, I bought Palm. So I went to search for software and Islamic programs all over my country for the Palm OS, and unfortunately I did not find it, so I went to the following conclusion: All software developers assume that 1 billion Muslims in this world speak Arabic, and this means that the interface will be Arabic and this is difficult for a beginner like me. So why don't I develop a Quran program that works on the Palm environment and that I believe that I can learn faster because the device will always be with me, and I can learn to read anytime and anywhere, in the office, on a train, etc. as such, and this provides comfort And easier access. It can never come true with traditional medium paperback books.
So I decided to develop software from scratch. I made sure that the Arabic text was large and clear. And also a voice so that I can repeat and learn the pronunciation, and also a translation to recognize the words, as well as translations in English and Malay for each verse. With all these features, I will, God willing, be able to learn to read the Qur’an. Alhamdulillah, now by using the software on these mobile devices, I can read the Holy Quran easily. But I am confident that receiving from a Sheikh is better to study deeply and learn Tajweed. Thank god. I'm still learning but making progress.
As I indicated, this is my view and I want these programs to help eradicate illiteracy for the Holy Qur’an (especially for Muslims who do not speak Arabic). I'm sure there are more and more people like me who are illiterate but want to learn the Quran. I want to provide a way for them to use the latest technology to learn to read the Quran using my product.
I even have a vision to manufacture an inexpensive tool with my country and provide them with software and give it to our future generations. This vision is called (The Digital Quran for Every Child), so that they can learn to read the Qur’an. You can read more Here :
Now all of these software that you can use weren't possible. I had a vision, an idea and a determination to complete the project. But this project is a huge task and it is really huge like a mammoth, to do this alone and there is no way I can complete all this project without the proper funding for the development of this project. I need material support for R&D, outsourcing, sourcing, manpower etc.
I tried to knock on several doors, asking some Muslims in the area's companies for financial help. But I was away all the time.
And everyone was only interested in the financial return from the project.
I was frustrated. Until I met a businessman from Malaysia. You would like to please me financially. That is why most of these projects have been completed. I used up his money and even used most of my savings, but I am very satisfied that I was able to get the project done.
Moreover, most users of Islamic software assume that Islamic software is free and should be provided free of charge. Unfortunately, they do not realize that innovations and ideas need financial support to make them a reality. Otherwise, it will only be an idea.
God willing, I will always pray to God to grant me strength and good health to continue these small efforts for the benefit of the nation in this digital age.
Thank you very much, brother for your time.

Without an iPhone, Islam I don't buy American cents of goods
When he made the first iPhone, Apple did not notice the Arabic language, but thanks to you, Apple thought of us in the language of the Qur’an, and in its modification of the firmware it adopted Arabic and based on this I bought the iPhone in order to benefit from the technology in my religion and in the world, even though you issued a copy of the Holy Quran Lite even though it fulfills For the purpose, I refused, except that I brought a copy for your support, otherwise I personally do not buy any American goods because I support criminal Israel, but thanks to you, we are now on the Apple store and the angels are preparing good deeds for you whenever a caller calls to prayer via the iPhone and whenever a Muslim reads a letter from the Holy Qur’an in all languages, God gives you And success in your work to serve the nation.
May God reward you well, there is a program called The Koran It is from our programming, this program is completely free
Maybe i-FRAN is your best friend for gifts. May God reward you for your encouragement, and may God reward you with the best of your love.
May God reward him well, and make his work in the balance of his good deeds, and God multiplied among his ilk
I hope you will open a special section for programming iPhone applications
Because frankly one is bored from programming through the Windows environment
And thank the brother for the wonderful work
May God reward you with Heaven
Hi

May God reward you a thousand good and more than your likes
May God reward you with all the best and deeds in the balance of your good deeds. I ask the brothers to take you as an example to them and pray for Muslims everywhere.

I ask God to bring us and you together in Heaven with our beloved, the best of God’s creation
God made you free from the fire
God willing, men this will take a large reward

God bless. The endeavors and the best opinion really deserve praise and appreciation. I ask God Almighty, Lord of the Mighty Throne, on this blessed night on Friday night, on the second day of Tashreeq, to bless your efforts, my brother Ismail, and to bless you from a place that does not count and to mock you and make it easy for you.
Peace, mercy and blessings of God
Greetings of pride and appreciation accompanied by my sincere thanks for your tremendous efforts in trying to spread the Noble Qur’an and adapt technology to serve the religion as well as serve the Arabic language. I hope that these works will be purely for the sake of God Almighty and he will reward you for it. May God reward you well.
We prophet programs more than Muslims and we download and pray for them
You have all my greetings and respect for this really wonderful program, and I hope everyone supports such trends
And God bless you
Oh God, more than the likes of Ismail. Ameen
Great job sir… I am really proud that in this world with the weake that Islam face in this time there some GREAT MUSLIMS like you…. the only thing I can say is JAZAK ALLH KAHIR
May God bless your likes and make this work in the balance of your good deeds.
We ask God to reward you with the best reward
And I hope from our Arab brothers that Hazzu Brother Ismail will serve this great religion
God bless you
Effort, to say the least, is wonderful, and may God help you
May God increase him knowledge of the light of the right of the Holy Quran
Frankly, I am happy with these achievements of the Muslim
I hope the Arabs will do the same
Because frankly does not concern them but themselves
A world around the world pity them very much who produce iPhone programs for free in exchange for spreading the benefit and help in the community
As for the Arabs, his heart, or someone who settled himself, the Arabs of the device
I do not criticize the person all free in himself
But ask about the initiative in spreading technology in the world
May Allah reward you well for this meeting. The program is wonderful, but its fault is that you need to download the surahs one by one.
Summer
no..you can download all Quran with one click.
