Welcome to The Noble Quran (English Translation)
The Noble Qur'an (English) is translated by Marmaduke Pikthall. This application is the electronic version of his work.
Please Note
All/any translation (interpretation) of the Qur'an will most definitely contain errors. In its natural language (Arabic), the Qur'an is the direct Word of Allah (God) to mankind through the prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Any translation of the Quran no longer retains that 'official' and perfect status, however it can be tremendously helpful to beginning students wanting to learn more about Islam. Also note that the arabic text used in this application may contain typing errors. Therefore it is recommended that you purchase the book (The Noble Quran) and use this application only as a means of reference.
QiblaCalc is a Windows program which calculates the Qibla direction
(i.e direction of the Kabbah) from any location on earth. Unlike
other programs which give the direction relative to true north,
QiblaCalc also gives the direction relative to magnetic north as
determined by a compass. This is achieved using a sophisticated
geomagnetic field model to calculate the strength and direction of
the earth's magnetic field at any location. The program also displays
the Magnetic Declination (Mag Dec) which is the difference in degrees
between magnetic and true north. For example, if the Mag Dec is +5
degrees, then magnetic north is 5 degrees east of true north. If Mag
Dec is -5 degrees, then magnetic north is 5 deg west of true north.
QiblaCalc gives dynamic real-time data as you pass the mouse cursor
over a beautiful map of the earth. QiblaCalc also produces spherical
maps of the earth as it would appear from space from a point above
your location. Apart from Qibla direction, QiblaCalc can also
determine the distance between any two locations and the direction of
*any* location from *any* other location.
