The Beginning: A Personal Quest
In 2021, Jinosh Nadar — a passionate developer from Tamil Nadu, India — was searching for a Quran app he could genuinely recommend to his family. Every app he tried had problems: intrusive ads, paywalled translations, or support for only English and Arabic. His mother reads Quran in Tamil. His colleague reads it in Malay. His friend in Germany uses the German translation. None of the existing apps served them.

So he decided to build one. Not to make money. Not as a portfolio project. To make something that actually works for everyone, in every language, for free. What began as a personal learning tool to study the Quran in Tamil and English simultaneously launched publicly during Ramadan 2025 as Al Quran Multilingual.
About the Founder
Jinosh discovered a deep appreciation for Islamic teachings at 18, and that spiritual journey merged with his technical skills as a Full-Stack Developer with 5+ years of experience. He specializes in cross-platform applications for iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, and Linux, with expertise in Flutter & Dart, FastAPI & Python, React & TypeScript, UI/UX design, state management (Bloc, Provider, Riverpod), and DevOps (CI/CD, App Store & Play Store publishing). Beyond the Quran app, he created a Tamil Sangam Literature podcast series with 500+ episodes and 1,490 videos on the Tamizh Aasan YouTube channel, covering Purananuru, Akananuru, Narrinai, Ainkurunuru, Kalithokai, Pathitrupattu, and Thirukkural — all 100% in Tamil.
Tech Stack
The platform uses a dual-architecture approach. The native mobile and desktop apps are built with Flutter & Dart for Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, and Linux from a single codebase. The web platform uses Next.js 16 (App Router), React 19, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS 4, and shadcn/ui (50+ Radix UI primitives) with a neumorphic Islamic green-themed design. State management uses TanStack React Query and Bloc/Riverpod across platforms. The build pipeline runs on Bun with Python scripts for image conversion and sitemap generation (5 sitemaps covering ~12,500+ URLs). Deployment is on Google Cloud Run (asia-south1, Mumbai) with Docker multi-stage builds and Cloud Build CI/CD.
Project Milestones

Quran Data & Editorial Integrity
All Quranic content is sourced from established, peer-reviewed Islamic APIs and academic databases — primarily the excellent fawazahmed0/quran-api. Every translation comes from verified scholars and recognized institutions. Prayer times and Islamic calendar features are powered by the Aladhan API. The project operates with complete transparency — the codebase is open source and all content sources are publicly cited for community and scholarly audit.
Mission & Values
Four core missions drive the project: Universal Access — 470+ editions in 90+ languages for comparative Quranic study; Authentic Sources — every translation from verified Islamic scholars; Privacy & Respect — no data collection, no ads, no tracking, using Firebase Analytics solely for anonymous aggregate statistics with ad personalization explicitly denied; and Community First — built by Muslims for Muslims, guided by global community feedback.
PDF Generation & Reader Features
Users can generate single-edition PDFs from any of the 470+ editions at alquranjino.online/books, or combined PDFs with two translations side by side. The reader supports verse-by-verse display, copy and share, audio playback, font size customization, Google Font loading (Inter, Lateef, Noto Naskh Arabic), RTL/LTR support, and navigation by Surah (114), Juz (30), Manzil (7), and Sajdah markers. The UI is localized into 10 languages: English, Tamil, Arabic, Hindi, Urdu, Malayalam, Bengali, Telugu, French, and Indonesian.
Community & Sustainability
The project is entirely free and ad-free — funded by voluntary donations via Razorpay and Buy Me a Coffee. Running costs include domain registration (~₹3,000/year), Apple App Store developer membership (₹8,700/year), and API/cloud infrastructure. The founder is also available for freelance and contract opportunities in Flutter, React, and full-stack development. Join the community on Telegram, follow on X (Twitter), and contribute on GitHub.
