  9. Alhanmdollilah Sabily Gaza is here to move on and become famous...we do also need software for other school of thought e.g. Ahlul Bayt ...Shiaism
    JAzak Allah

    ReplyDelete
  10. What kind of software you need for "other school of thought e.g. Ahlul Bayt ...Shiaism"???
    Sabily provide three software for Quran study, it is not relative to any scool of thought, or there is another Quran for Shiaism!?
    Sabily provide Monajat for Prophet supplications, you want the supplications of whom exactly?
    Please let us avoid these discussions, Sabily present Islam and not schools of thought...

  15. Did you prepared CD package like version 9.04?

    ReplyDelete
  16. No brother I did not prepare CD package like version 9.04 for two reasons:
    1- I am working alone on building ISOs and I did not have the time to do all the job (for example I did not prepare a 64bits) :(
    2- The 9.04 CD package was done by Mehdi and I don't know how to do it! perhaps when Mehdi come back he will do it or tell me how to do it if I have soem free time inshalla.
