Islamic software for your Nokia handset

A reader pointed out this page hosted by Nokia with some Islamic apps that you might find useful in the coming month of Ramadhan. So go ahead and check the page out and download some of the apps.

I haven’t tried any of these apps because I’m an iphone user. But any feedback about the apps in the comments section will be appreciated.

A few that sound interesting:

Ramadaniat:
A large collection of useful information concerning fasting, Zakah Al-Fitr, the benefits of Laylat Al-Qadr and the I’tekaf.

Quran:
In Othmani font and with a multi-lingual interface. Search and bookmark any Ayah or Surah. Some devices have narration by Sheikh Al-Hudhaifi.

Mozzaker:
Read a large collection of daily Azkar and selected supplications with voice and SMS or MMS the Azkars to friends.

Rushdie and the Hypocrisy that is ‘free speech’

A case of the pot calling the kettle black

“This is not a free speech issue, this is libel,” Rushdie said. “I will not have my character destroyed and presented to the world as something that it is not. If they publish it as it is there will be a libel action.”

Rushdie! Wasn’t free speech an issue when you wrote about the greatest person to have ever lived, in your foul book?

Emotional recitation of Surah Fatiha

This a very emotional recitation of Suratul Fatiha by Shaykh Shuraim. I’ve seen this video several times and it never fails to move me (hard-hearted as I am). I hope this recitation will effect you and encourage you to recite the Qur’an even more. Ameen.

Jihad Rehab

Thought this might be an interesting read.
