Today: consumption kills eco-systems; fraud, greed, grand larceny and theft bring down world's finances; deceit, infidelity and instant gratification destroy families; murders and wars have left us without peace or stability. On top we have droughts, earthquakes, floods, storms, tsunamis … has the world gone mad! Submit now to Allah before it is too late - to the One and Only God, the Creator, Lord and Sustainer of the universe, Unique in His Person and Actions, without any blemish, weakness or relatives. Follow the Sunnah of Muhammad (the last Messenger and Prophet - upon whom be the peace and blessings of Allah), and join those who will be the really successful ones.

Quran made Easy

Yet another good and free site for Quranic Arabic. Online, and Files are also downloadable.

There are some quirks, though. Surah Falaq is spelt Falak here, the shadda is spelt sadda, Jajakallahu is spelt Zajakallahu, and the zeir (kasra) is spelt (jeir).

I suspect the website belongs to a Bengali. Some dialects of Bengali have this inversion of the pronunciation.

searchtruth.com

searchtruth.com is a wonderful authentic site. It has many features:
like English/Arabic/English dictionary etc.,
a list of alphabetically arranged Quran words,
when a word is selected, a display of Ayahs appears where that word occurs.

One thing I would like is a comprehensive search-able database of roots linked to words in the Quran.
