Zekr

Granted, learning the Quran should be done via a certified tutor who can explain any text and quotes that you don’t really grasp. This is especially true if you don’t know Arabic and are studying it in a different language. Then again, if working with a professional is not an option for various reasons, rest assured you have other resources available.

Zekr is a lightweight Java-based application designed to provide a complete solution to translating, researching or reading on the Quran. The tool comes with an old-school, but user-friendly interface split into two main sections, one where you can select the area of the Quran to study and the other where the verses are displayed in the original Arabic language along with their translation.

The main translations are to US English, but you can use the dedicated tool to customize it to your native language. The app also includes a recitation section that lets you practice how to spell the verses.

Since the main aim of the program is to help you learn the Quran, it is only natural it comes with a complex Bookmark menu where you can mark your progress or save the quotes you want to learn more about or just like.
