A mobile phone manufacturer has created a Muslim-only device, with a pre-installed Quran and prayer alarm.
The phone has been initially designed for Russia’s Muslims, with the Quran written in both Russian and Arabic, local media reported.
Created by BQ-Mobile, the phone also includes a built-in navigator that automatically determines the user’s location and directs them towards Makkah, Islam’s holiest city.
“Before creating the device, experts studied the interests of the faithful. They asked what kind of gadgets would be useful to them in everyday life,” Timur Imaev, a representative of the Central Spiritual Administration of Muslims of Russia, was quoted as saying by the state news agency TASS.
“The mobile phone menu is very simple and clear, the user can in a few clicks turn the Suras [chapters] of the Quran.”
