A student from Malaysia's Multimedia University in Kuala Lumpur has started developing with a team of 10 student volunteers a downloadable English version of the Koran for the PSP. Ikhwan Nazri Mohamad Asran decided to design the software seeing a similar version for the bible.
Aided by a team of 10 student volunteers, he started developing the Koran software between classes in January.
It was launched earlier this month to a gathering of parents at a Muslim charity dinner who responded well, Ikhwan said, adding that he would later include Koranic recitations following requests. The software will be available for download for free after May 19 from his website.
Ikhwan hopes that this software will appeal to parents who sometimes distrust the internet and gaming. I would also think it would appeal to people who are bibliophobes.
