In the name of God, compassionate & merciful بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ | Peace be with you السلام عليكم(Originally sourced in Zaufishan's blog)
A list of every single Qur'an link online that we use, approve of, find useful and stamp with Muslimness:
- Quranic Audio - (following from Quranic realm) A huge database of Qur'an reciters is compiled here for listening to online or downloading FREE! Possibly every single Qarionline is stashed here. There's also a blog (Cafe Salam) for you to post your feedback. Our rating: 5/10
- Quranic Realm - This is basic in comparison to others but still a valuable interactive source. Select any surah, check every single box in the top menu and compare the translations and Arabic script without tashkeel (that means punctuation, vowels for joining sounds). It takes time being able to read Qur'an without tashkeel. To listen to recitation however the site takes you to another website where you can download MP3 formats or listen online to various reciters. Our rating: 6/10
- Holy Quran - Another interactive and dedicated site to collating various translations, downloadable chapters and embedded YouTube videos for listening to recitation. To listen to the chapters you click on the speaker icon and a new window opens up. You can also search for a particular word within a surah, something other sites fail at AND download the whole Qur'an FREE in any of the languages listed on the bottom right. That's fantastic! (If you speak Greek) Our rating: 7/10
- Quran.com - Very similar to Quranic Realm but with a cleaner cut interface and enlarging script options. This source is also good for displaying various translations, Arabic scripts (with/without tashkeel) and the transliterations all in one selection. So I can read the Qur'an in Polish, Somali and Italian, without tashkeel and with transliteration together! Audio recitation option available too but only by one man throughout. Our rating: 7/10
- The University of South California - A search + index is included, the full ahadith from four main collections and other holy scriptures from other faiths. The Qur'an is in English only but from three popular translators. Easy to use for quick referencing. Our rating: 8/10
- IslamiCity - Perhaps the most extensive and comprehensive Qur'an source online, I get lost in all of it! Here is a list of searches - phonetically, by topic, translation and so on. A list of translations to the Qur'an include Chinese, Korean and Dutch. There are tools also for listening and memorising the Qur'an. Nifty. Our rating: 8/10
- Multilingual Qur'an - This is a novelty; the link provides 20+ languages. You select one, choose a chapter, select from the 11 Qari and click on any verse or the 'play' icon for instant recitation. Also provided is a highlighting search box and a tafsir option. It's interesting reading the Qur'an in another language or cross-translating words. Our rating: 8/10
- Qur'an Explorer - We thoroughly adore this source; click on the red 'Launch' button to open up a new explorer window where you can listen to 8 different Qari (Qur'an reciters), 11 different translations, including Malay and French, and select Arabic scripts, pause and skip recitation to help with reading along or memorising. Our rating: 9/10
- Quran Flash - The most interactive Quran website to date! The 3D book on screen creates a 'real-time' experience with turning pages, 12 Quran to choose from varying in tajweed and script, options in changing the background image, selecting chapters, bookmarking and loads more! Basically, it's brilliant. I've yet to find a weakness. Our rating: 10/10.
- Online Quran Project - Muslimness Review pending... Our rating: -/10.
- Muslim Web - Muslimness Review pending... Our rating: -/10.
- iKnowledge - iKnowledge is a web application covering 4 key areas of Islamic studies: the Quran, Tafsir (interpretations of Quran) Hadith and Seerah (biography of Prophet Muhammad). iKnowledge is 'edgier' than your average Quran source, with share buttons, website coding, a Facebook fan page and Twitter account, in addition the dozen plus features rock in the sidebar such as bookmarking, audio recitations and video AND a free islamicnature.blog. Basically, this has everything short of a cushion and cup of coffee. Our rating: 9/10
