Bismilleh walhamdolileh wassalato wassalamo ala rasullilleh,
Assalamo alaykom,
With great pleasure I announce to you the release of the first prototype of Manarah project, it is just a prototype to show you the idea of Manarah, its version is 0.1-alpha and it contain only three hadhith in three languages from "40 Nawawi" (very known Hadith book).
Next steps after creating a team around this project are:
- Make a solid design for the database
- Make a good graphic design for Manarah GUI
- Make a good design architecture for Manarah and start developing
The first scoop is only this book "40 Nawawi" for which I have 14 translations from a trusted Islamic website (Arabic + 13 other languages), then we will add other books inchalla (Bokhari, Muslim, Tirmithi...).
The project page is: https:/
The team page is: https:/
Please join this team and make sure you are subscribed in its mailing list since all discussions around this project will be there and we will use the sabily root mailing list just for announcement or just when we need more help.
Please spread the word and ask people to join this team and win hasanat by spreading the word of our prophet Mohammed peace be upon him.
