Quran on iPhone (or any other smartphone)

The following has been taken from our sister site: Imaan Boost

Salaam,

I'm often asked by brothers for "The name of that app" when reciting the quran from my iPhone in the masjid.

It's not always easy to explain it as it's not as simple as that, so here I will explain how you can get it for yourself!

Firstly let me show you what it looks like:





and here's an actual screenshot taken with my iPhone:






..of course it works well on an iPad too, or any other smartphone/tablet device:






There are 2 simple steps really:

1. Get the pdf files.
2. View in a pdf reader on your device.

You can get the quran as a set of 30 pdf files from here.

Unzip the file to create a folder called Quran which has all the PDF files in it.

Then just get any app that can read PDF files from the app store.

I use "GoodReader". - Perhaps the best app on the iPhone in my opinion. It's not free though, so if you want a free PDF reader I would recommend "Files Lite"

You'll need to set up the app with your pc/mac to transfer files. It shouldn't be too difficult, just follow the instructions that come with the app.

Let me know if you have any probs.

Happy reading, and pass it on...

EDIT: I Have included surah yaseen + surah khaf inside the zipped folder
