Currently working on using Terminal (not a lot so won't be confusing) to change the language of the UI.

Code:

#!/bin/sh

CURRENT=run-standalone.sh cat /home/user/.noor | grep lang | grep -v \# | tail -c 3

echo "Supported languages:

 en (English - default)

 ar (Arabic)

 fa (Farsi)

 ml (Malayalam)

 ps (Pushto)

 tr (Turkish)

 nl (Dutch - Thanks to HtheB!)"

echo "Type the two letters of the language you want for the UI:"

read input_variable

sed -i s/lang\ \=\ $CURRENT/lang\ \=\ $input_variable/g /home/user/.noor

It isn't working well since it doesn't actually substitute the variables, instead it tries to changes lang = $CURRENT as it is, not as lang = en.
Will see how this goes.

Edit: One more thing, I didn't actually make noor, it's a PyGTK app made for linux, I just ported it, and qwerty12 helped loads with hildonization.

Looking up docs on how to change the Quran view to use kinetic scrolling (as in pygtkeditor and leafpad)

Sorry Mohammad, been stupidly busy this week :P (As you can tell by my absence from irc!) - will be on this sunday, more then happy to try and help if i can :|

Came across this today and opened it in my microB browser. Nice little applet type interface. Very user friendly.

Great news! :) I really hope you get it to work!

Re: Noor (Quran app) working on the N900

awesome..I'll try it out...is there an athan(azaan) app for the n900?

Re: Noor (Quran app) working on the N900

Would it be possible to have this as a little widget displaying ayahs from the Qur'an? or maybe like ayah of the day sort of thing as a widget? I think that'd be cool :)
