Online Quran Project

I found a nice website for studying the Quran, the Online Quran Project. Here, I am listing a number of features available on the website

  1. The whole interface is fully customizable
  2. Support for other languages
  3. Very good Navigation (Pane of left side) with search and browsing capabilities
  4. Drop down menu to access chapters and verses.
  5. Translation of the text and the ability to customize the Arabic text
  6. You are also able to change the translation of the Quran. The way to do this is sort of hidden. You need to scroll all the way down until you see the language (e.g. English).
  7. The following translations are available: Abdullah Yusuf Ali, maududi, Ali Quli Qarai (in my view this is the best so far) and others.
  8. On the right side is the Quran (In Arabic) and it’s translation.
  9. The most wonderful feature is the ability to view the footnotes by clicking the footnote link (number) positioned at each verse.
  10. You can also increase the font for both the Quran (Arabic script) and also the English translation
