The world is moving towards an everincreasing usage of technology (for either work, study, pleasure or business). The advantages created by this evolution is extraordinary.

Today you will find our younger brothers and sisters making greater use of PCs, mobile phones, game consoles, mp3 players etc. which has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Since our younger generation is more exposed to technology than ever before, we can aim to increase the knowledge and teachings of Islam though technology so that it becomes more enjoyable and appealing. Islam welcomes technological advances. We are commanded to strive to better the world. It is our responsibility to use what Allah has blessed us to know for the betterment of humanity.

A UK based company called Playnetics Technologies has been at the forefront of this advancement. They have successfully developed colour digital Quran players, electronic trasbeeh’s and Islamic multimedia players that are unique in nature in terms of functionality and design.

Playnetics latest product, the “iMuslim™” is the world first Islamic multimedia player (IMP) which you will find very appealing, it is truly a revolution in the Islamic technology field.

“We must teach our younger generation the true forms of Islam (a pure and peaceful religion) through modern technology… unlike others all our products use licensed/ verified contents approved by Al-Azhar University so you can be sure that it is authentic and free from errors (intentional or unintentional).” F. Ismail (Marketing Director).

Amongst many functions; this product allows you to listen/read the complete Qur’an, listen/read hadith books, view 3D tour of kabbah, browse the Islamic image gallery, find the Qibla direction, know the prayer times, play Islamic games, view Islamic calendar etc. You can visit ( www.playnetics.com ) for a full list of functionality.

Products such as these can only enhance our knowledge of Islam and at the same time make it an enjoyable experience. We hope our brothers and sisters take advantage of this.
