Listening to, reading and finding translation of the Quran is a daily ritual for most Muslims. This can be done using the paper version of the Quran or using specialized software like Quran Reciter etc. Now several websites offer this facility online for free. Tanzil.info is one such website which lets users read and listen the Holy Quran. It also allows users to read translation of the Holy Book in multiple languages.

The interface is attractive and user friendly to use. First time visitors will not find themselves lost in the maze. One can browse through the entire Quran via Suran, Ayah, Juz or even page. Next comes the recitation which can be listened online as well as offline using a separate application. There are 19 Qaris to choose from and the biggest names like Al-Sudais, Abdul Basit and Al-Ghamdi etc are included in the list. A simple mouse-over provides translation in the selected language. A total of 69 types of translation options exist. For example in the English language one can read translation by about 12 people like Marmaduke Pickthall and Mahammad Asad etc.

One can also change the font type and size by selecting the appropriate Display options. The main page also has a Translation tab which displays the translation of the whole page in one go in the desired language. This is good if one wants to read the whole page. One can also listen to the Holy Quran by downloading the Quranic Desktop application from the Zekr website.

The best part is the availability of this application for iPhone and other mobile phones like Nokia, HTC, Motorola etc. Check out the Tanzil website for a Holy experience.
