Qatar Insurance, the leading insurance Group in the Mena region, has launched a free Islamic app as an offering to the community during the holy month of Ramadan.
The QIC Islamic app can be downloaded free of cost on both the Android and iOS platforms. Offering access to verses from the Holy Qur’an and Islamic literature, the QIC Islamic app provides guidance and religious tips to promote Islamic culture in a modern and accessible manner, QIC has said in a press statement.
The app, which is bundled with many features, allows its users to read the Holy Qur’an, listen to the recitals of renowned Islamic readers, read the Tafsir (interpretation of the holy verses) and perform a search by the verse number Ayah.
In addition, the app offers free live streaming of the Quran 24 radio broadcast from Doha, invocations from Hisn Al Muslim, a renowned Islamic book, prayer time reminders and assists the user to determine the direction of the Qibla from his/her location.
“Moreover, the app empowers the user with locating the nearest mosque and follow the Ramadan time-table, making it extremely valuable during the holy month of Ramadan. It also allows users to locate QIC’s branches in Qatar,” the statement explains.
Speaking about the features of the recently-launched app, the PR & Corporate Communications manager at QIC Group said: “Being a Qatari company, we strive to ensure that we uphold the tradition of Qatar at all times. In view of this proposition, the launch of the app especially before Ramadan aligns well with the company’s commitment and is a modern and innovative way of giving back to the society.”
