Al-Quran for PSP - Image 1


Some of you guys may be familiar with QJ forum member Momochi Zabuza for releasing Al-Quran for PSP that allows our Muslim brothers to bring a good resource on Islam in their pockets. For those who enjoyed this nifty app, it might do you good to know that version 1.1 is out.
 
Taken from the Readme file, the cache has improved this time around. There's still a minor problem that would freeze everything, but that only happens after 30-40 pages of browsing. A page search function was also added for everyone's convenience.

To make Al-Quran run, here are the instructions from the Readme:
  1. Don't change any filename or folder name
  2. Enable PSP Adobe Flash Player
  3. Use internet browser in the PSP to run the application
  4. Copy all the files to the memory stick's root folder. For those with Al-Quran v1.0, you have to replace the holdaya.swf with the new one inside the update and delete the old qpsp1.swf.
  5. Enter file:/psp-alquran/qpsp.swf on the address bar
As for the controls, use the analog stick as mouse and cross/circle button as mouse button. For more info, just check out the Readme file. Existing Al-Quran users can update to v1.1 by downloading the update file. Otherwise, get the full version.

I probably wont use this but I think it is good that it exists. If the bible homebrew is there then so should the Quaran in PSP homebrew

"It would also be better to disable comments on this article.."

And why would you disable comments? This is a piece of software just like any other and as such should be open to comment. Personally I won't use it, but there are people who will and thats what comments are there for, to make sure the software works and what not to save people the hassle of downloading it if doesn't work.

If it's because you are afraid of someone offending you, then I suggest turning off your modem now and not turn it back on.

Most humans aren't peaceful, or live in peace for that matter. Few extremists don't represent the billion+ Muslims in the world. So shut the hell up.

Few extremest religious cults don't represent the whole religion. For the ignorant americans, remember the KKK? They were actually a religious protestant group accepted by many. I personally think the christian extremist have been the worst.

Is this a english translated version? because i cant understand arabic.

   by rothes (Unregistered) - 2007-07-04
 » bull

Like the bible, it was written and edited by ordinary men. It's possible to believe in God or a higher power without believing words written by humans. All organized religion is crap.

The Quran hasnt been edited by man go across the world they are all the same...

   Re: Dodo - 2007-07-04
 » ..

Not a single word of the Quran has been edited to this date. You can compare a 14th century Quran with one you can buy at the shops, you won't find a difference. Stop making ignorant claims.

   Re: FreePlay (Unregistered) - 2007-07-04

... other than the translation, that is, which always changes things.

   Re: FlameDragoon (Unregistered) - 2007-07-07
 » Re: No differences

Well duh, the translation is sometimes misinterpreted. But almost all copies of the Quran have the original Arabic as well as English. So there you go.

 » Without making this a religious post...

I think this is great for the PSP community as a whole. Regardless of what religion you may or may not be, this just expands the many uses of the PSP and members of the PSP community should be thrilled that there are individuals finding a new way to utilize our beloved handheld.....

Religiously speaking, to Rothes who said it was written by ordinary men, The Quran is said to be the word of God, dictated through the Angel Gabriel to Prophet Muhammed. Now I'm not Muslim, but you should either research before you state false information, or just dont state anything at all : )

   by Markarian (Unregistered) - 2007-07-04
 » Nice idea

Seriously, the Koran isn't the problem with fundamentalist Islam. Just like those racist, Bible-thumping hicks that run the country aren't real Christians, terrorists aren't real Muslims. The Koran, Bible, and Tanakh all have some pretty vile stuff in them mixed in with the good. That's why G-d gives us brains, to take the good but leave the bad. To become a student of scripture, rather than a blind believer. To listen to our conscience, rather than take a book or preacher at face value. Someone who carries the Quran around on their PSP has a high likelihood of being a real student who wants to study religion on their own, rather than just believe some insane mullah who says "Go kill Jews and Christians."

I'm not a Muslim, but I do support the efforts to port religious content to the PSP. The more people in the scene, the better. And I'd think our community could rise above petty political issues and religious intolerance (unless you're a Scientologist, in which case you should get some help).

Scientology isn't a religion.. and also they copywrite thier works. Any group who says they are a religious group and copyrights whatever they believe is NOT a religious group at all. All they are are greedy money grabbers out for thier own interests.

Like others who have commented on this article, I am not Muslim. However, this is a good idea for Muslims who can't carry the actual Koran with them because of inconvience or other reasons.

because of fear of being jumped by people who think they're preaching terrorism directly from it

I'm atheist, but if we have the bible for the PSP, why not the Al-Quran? I thik it's a GREAT idea. And personally, I'm from the biggest catholic country in the world (Brasil) and I'm not offended with this news, as most of the racists are.

For the most part, I'm proud of the sensibility shown by people who responded to this article, especially as even the most insensitive topics on this site get flamed with unnecessary comments.

Now I'm not a practising Muslim, but this app gives me the option to read it on the go as I haven't really had the chance. I think anyone with an open mind should read it, before passing judgements.

Terrorists don't represent a religion but their own fanatical ideology. God does not tell you to kill innocent people, whether you are an invading army or militants. It's by denouncing them as non-representative of any faith and enemies of humanity we can fight extremism.


   Re: Savaage - 2007-07-04
 » good point

Well said, too many ignorant people in the world.. i can see why QJ usually doesnt allow comments on Muslim related articles... too many ignorant fools out there....

This is a great PSP application, and religion aside people should be appreciative of the different ways the PSP is being utilized..

every religion existed in this world today has their own meaning, preach and stuff. so i think to those people who think they can live without religion an dbelieve, i dont think u have to give all the negatives thoughts here,there's no point. I'm a muslim in Malaysia and I know *not personally but study in the same university* the guy who did this. At least he has the effort to do a really good deed in man kind.. i don't think there's any problem in that.
