Ranchi: An electronic version of the Holy Qur’an has become the talk of this city these days. Muhammad Ghayasuddin of Ranchi; owner of a private firm, Bharat Electronics (not the Public Sector Bharat Electronics Ltd.) during his Haj pilgrimage to Makka last year purchased this electronic Qur’an for 400 Saudi Riyals for his sons. On this electronic Qur’an one can read and hear all the six to seven thousand Ayats (verses) and 114 Suras (chapters) in different languages according to a person’s requirements or preferences. It is a set of an electronic book and pen. When the pen is touched or directed to any line of the Qur’an, it will read the whole line with the help of the speaker which is fitted in it. A person with weak eyesight also can read the Qur’an without much difficulty. This Qur’an has arrangement for all important languages of the world. It has an electronic pen which, when pointed to any language like Urdu, English, Hindi, Arabic etc., starts reading the Ayat and Suras in that language.
