Gracious Quran

Gracious Quran is a comprehensive application that provides access to translated verses of the Quran in English, as well as audio readings in both languages by various readers. It also additional involves additional features such as Prayer Times, Qibla, and the Islamic Calendar. This application is based on The Gracious Quran: A Modern-Phrased Interpretation of its Meanings in English by Ahmed Zaki Hammad. This contemporary, authoritative translation interprets the Quran’s meaning for the English reader with unprecedented access to the Book that is the foundational source of Islam, its civilization and its peoples, who now comprise nearly one-fourth of humanity across the breadth of all the Earth’s continents and who form a crucial, contiguous community at the middle of the world. The interpretation of The Gracious Quran is thoroughly guided by wide and deep experience with the civilizations of both luminous Islam and the enlightened west, while not unmindful of the light that infuses the world’s brilliant traditions. Fully four decades of scholarly expertise in Quranic studies and related disciplines are in its service, and the latest advances in the art of translation conspicuously benefit.
