Ramadhan . The month of Blessings. Baraqah. The Zekr Project

It`s the month of Ramadan again. This is the month where we (exclusively Muslim) are encourage to increase our ibadah , taqwa towards the Lord of Lord Allah Taala. This is the month where the Iblis and Syaitan are temporaryly be sent to hell and leave us alone . Alone fighting our nafsu (lustful desire). By fasting durin the day we can control our nafsu towards greater good :) By fasting we are cleansing not only our body system but also our soul like being said in Hidayatus Salikin by Imam Al Ghazali where he clearly stated that eating too much is absurd. Also as a students mention in Taalim Mutaalim Tarikatul Taalum (The way of student to become a Scholar by Syeikh Imam Burhan Al Zarnuji or the art of Study for students). " Those who loves eat will loves drinks. And those who drink too much will gain nothing".


Well enough of my preaching for today . Exclusively for Muslim and those who well have a sense of appreciation to the Holy Book that is the Al-Quran software for Linux. It`s called the Zekr Project. Basicly it`s an open platform Quran study tool. The instruction on the website is pretty clear on how to Install the Zekr Al-Quran Translation software.

Another thing is a must is the adzan(calling for prayers) software called minbar. It`s a pygtk software that use variosu method to calculate the correct Prayer time using the Muslim World League calculation , UIS,Karachi (Shafi`i) and UIS,Karachi (Hanafi). There`s a slight khilaf in determine the waktu of Asar prayer between Shafi`i and Hanafi but it`s acceptable and it won`t effect the ibadah at all :)

To install minbar you need the latest libidl0 and libitl0

The minbar binary for Ubuntu can be download at this site
