The Qiblah Compass determines the direction of your daily Muslim prayers, based on your exact location. If you have an iPhone with a compass, such as the 3GS, it will show you the direction (based on true north, not magnetic north) to the Qiblah as you turn your phone around. On older models, the needle will not move with your iPhone, and you will still need a real compass, but this app will tell you what the correct direction is.

It also calculates daily prayer times based on your actual GPS location. If you've always used a table for a nearby city, remember that being 10 km east or west from that city may already make a difference of a minute or two in sunrise, sunset, and noon times.

Islam regards the Qur’an as miraculous and inimitable, and many islamic scholars argue that the Qur’anic text can not be reproduced in another language or form. As a practical problem, an Arabic word may have a range of meanings depending on the context, making an accurate translation even more difficult.
But not everyone can read Arabic, and it is highly encouraged for every Muslim to read the Quran and hopefully these translations from al-quran.info will be a good reference.
