HOWEVER, I don't think I'd buy it just yet, wait a few years, maybe a year even and there'll be a better and much smaller/slimmer one made. This first one is quite bulky, kinda like the first ipods, just be patient and wait for a better one...that's my thinking anyway.

Assalamu Alaykum,

I've got it. It's quite a cool tool with tafseer from Qurtubi, Jalalain etc. but I haven't used it much at all.

Assalamu Alaykum,

Don't really need it I guess. It's bardn new and we were supposed to sell it at a Madrassah event but that never happened, so we bought it ourselves as people in my family showed interest in it, but we never really needed it.

I'm not sure about the videos. Haven't really tried any on it. I've onky pressed the on button, looked at the Qur'an and some of the tafseers and that's it.

[Ibn Sina]

Are the tafseers in both Arabic and English or only Arabic?

[The Deen]

Arabic

We had the initial colour screen digital Quran that came out but not it seems so dated :rolleyes:

I was going to get a larger ipod (180GB) but now I'm thinking maybe this or better still this for my husband and the ipod for me! Oh, the choices! :D

[unique_zenab]

Wasnt there a Fake Quran called Furqan??? :confused:

[Nazias]

why is it called Al Furqan?

Al Furqan is a surah in the Quran.
