After popular demand, 'A Dictionary and Glossary of the Quran' by John Penrice has been made into an iOS app. This short and compact dictionary will allow the user to find the meaning and context of a word by searching for it's root letters. The app was developed to aide students in their noble pursuit of knowledge. It is intended for those who want a dictionary with which they can understand the meaning of words, the context with which that meaning is in and some examples of the word in literature. The dictionary can be searched using an Arabic keyboard, or if you do not have an Arabic keyboard, the dictionary can be searched using Roman (English) letters which have an Arabic equivalent. Currently, the app only supports Arabic-English translation, however, new versions will be uploaded to add more functionality to the app. Please feel free to add any comments/improvements by emailing arabic.almanac@gmail.com This app could not have been made without the immense contribution from E.Taal, U.Iqbal and A.Chaudhry. I pray that Allah (swt) reward them and their families for their immense contribution to these apps. I would also like to thank J.Masud for his suggestion in making the app. May Allah (swt) add continual blessings to him, his family and all their endeavours. Please also remember this humble developer and his family in your duas.
