I like the idea, there is potentiality in this application, I hope it will be further developed and perfected. Speaking of Quran Service I would like to take the opportunity to tip of an excellent Quran program, available for Windows, Mac and Linux (!) called "Zekr". 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. Current release, 0.6.0, has Advanced search (Boolean operators, groups, wild cards, scopes, fuzzy search, ...), Uthman Taha theme, and basic command line support. In my opinion it is fast and works very smoothly. There are a bunch of translations to download (even Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi's(HA) Farsi translation!) and best of all the search option works like a charm. The official site is: http://siahe.com/zekr/ The program can be downloaded there, more information regarding the software is also available. Definitely worth trying out! Peace, Ehsan Very nice!
