Using the web for critical learning of al-Qur’an’s language: an exploratory case study
About 80 percent of the world's Muslim populations are non-native speakers of Arabic language. Since it is obligatory for all Muslims to recite the Qur'an in Arabic during regular prayers, an extraordinary social phenomenon has taken place in some parts of the Muslim world...
