The Zekr Project


I don’t know how I managed to not know about this, but here is a rather nice looking free and open source Qur’an application.  It works on Windows, Mac, Linux, and probably any other OS that will run Java.  It is licensed under the GPL, which is brilliant.  Too often, great Islamic software gets made only for Windows, and then the developer fails to maintain it.  Also, if your language isn’t included among the translations, you can contribute to the project.  Here is more information directly from the website:

Zekr is an open platform Quran study tool for simply browsing and researching on the Holy Quran. It is a Quran-based
project, planned to be a universal, open source, and cross-platform application to perform most of the usual refers to Quran. The main idea is to build an as generic as possible platform to accept different Islamic resources.
