Salam guys, Recently I stumbled across a nice tool on Github that allows you to read the King James Bible from your terminal, so I decided to make something similar but with the Holy Quran. For any linux users in here feel free to test it and for any coders feel free to pull or fork the repo (it's in Python). quran: https://github.com/mredaoudi/quran PS: Right now it's only in English (Shakir translation)

Assalam-u-alaikum, brothers and sisters! Iam currently pursuing BS(CS) and am interested in android app development and website development. So, i thought why not do something beneficial for the community. I wanted to know if you guys have any ideas for an application or website ( or both ) that could benefit the community in any way. It could be anything that you think would be a good idea to implement( digitize) keeping in mind the nature of the people living in your country of residence. It could even be a game( minimalistic ) for the kids to teach them about religion in a way that attracts them. But i cannot think of something creative or constructive right now. Your help and ideas would be appreciated! I am excited to hear your opinions and views! May Allah bless you all and the blessings of the Ahlulbayt(a.s) follow with it!

Salamun Alaykum. We should all feel guilty of what has been done to our Islam (Shia Islam). We have heard so many breath taking ahadeeth from Ahlulbayt(a.s) on "Knowledge" and how it is better even than the blood of martyrs. But if we see our situation in the Globe "Where are WE??" Are we even close? On one hand where our Ulema e Ekraam have established a Legacy of being THE BEST intellectually in the field of Islamic Science but on the other hand the people who are responsible to grow the community in other fields such as Tech, Medicine, Astronomy, Physics, Chemical Science etc etc and the list goes on. Why so? What has caused us be far behind those who don't deserve to be there. Holy Prophet(saws) said "Knowledge is the lost entity of a believer." And I don't remember the exact hadeeth but it goes like this - (narrated from 5th and 5th Imam(a.s)) - "Those who are not on the top among the peers and claim to be our shia have false claims, They are not our Shia." What are some root causes we are lagging behind so much? Where world is growing day by day the gap between us and them is going even even more wider. Also after the advent of Social Media the "Wonderful" has taken place. More than half of us have lost our interest + time from studies. Rather I should say We have been largely deviated. Lets draw a line of comparison between the lives of Ulema who are pursuing Islamic science as their knowledge sphere and on the contrary We who are into the Worldly Sciences. Our Greater Ulemas are so much immersed into their studies (Allamah Tabatabai (r.a) is one of the greatest examples) that they don't even have the time to talk unnecessarily. Their life is filled with knowledge and they don't show any sign of arrogance. They are the real embodiment of the lives of Prophets of Allah. But we as the follower of Wordly Science are neither immersed into it nor we are creating a legacy out of it. The families of Ulemas have a chain of Ulemas in their Lineage. But we don't have such chains. If we do have this just Imagine - "How many levels can we grow from our status quo!" I see Iran as a Global Example of how they have established a greater Legacy in Both the Spheres of lives - Religious studies and Worldly Sciences. Please if you all have any solutions of how a global student community can be setup to bring a revolution in this sphere of life then please drop your ideas. And Tag people in this post so that they do notice where are we heading!

Assalam o Alaikum people. I'm a Computer Science student in India. And I'm not boasting but I try to be spiritually uplifted through various prescribed activities in Islam by our Imams (a.s) whenever I get time after the obligatory acts on a daily basis. I find it really very hard to find a friend (brother) with whom I can share approximately a similar lifestyle. All my friends (very few indeed) don't fit into this category. I also have one more question to ask. "Studying Computer Science and working in a Tech firm make will me more Materialistic? My Spirituality will be decreased in a Materialistic environment? If yes, What should I do. I'm hoping for a mature and logical reply Wassalam.

Have any of you viewed this - https://ummahwide.com/ Please share your views. According to me - 1. Tech-wise its good. 2. But when it comes to Pure Islam (sure they don't have it), its too open! They have a startup list too run by Muslims (sunni-wahhabi muslims) My Question is Are there any good shia-startups around the globe? Or are we just lagging behind? or We don't need it? (Chasing the materialistic world isn't our passion)
