NAME

       zekr - A Quran study tool

SYNOPSIS

       zekr [options]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the zekr

       zekr  is  an  open platform 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.  Zekr is  a  free  GPL
       software and is available for Linux/Unix, Windows, and MacOSX.

       Quran,  is  the only sacred writing, which claims to be a miracle.  It asserts that no one
       can make something like a Quran sura at all.  (from Al-Baqarah: 23, Younos:  38,  Al-Isra:
       88)  If  you  need  any  information  about common Quranic terms used in this software see
       http://www.zekr.org/glossary.html.

       Zekr is flexible in adding new plug-ins, themes, language packs, and Quran's translations.
       Currently  Zekr  has English, Persian, French, German, Arabic, Indonesian, Russian, Dutch,
       Kurdish, Malay, and Turkish built-in language packs.  In addition,  it  includes  English,
       Persian, and Russian Quran translations. Of course you can simply add more translations to
       it.

       The program is written in Java, on Eclipse IDE, and SWT as the widget toolkit.  If  having
       any question about zekr, please see http://www.zekr.org/faq.html.
