Salaam, I hope this note finds you well!

Currently in process of getting app reviewed. Use with caution. Remember, if taking information from any source, verify from other trustworthy sources that information is matching and correct.

The purpose of this application is to have a desktop app with Quran and hadith for faster search/research. All books are contained within the application and not fetched online, so to respect your privacy. The app works offline.

Thanks, I hope this app benefits you and please if anything is erroneous, please forgive me and reach out to me so that I may address these issues.

Note: Please view the sources I have listed. The hadith source mentions that chapters 8 to 30 are not present from Musnad Ahmed.

I am a Muslim developer, not a scholar of Islam. The translation of Quran is Saheeh International.

Hope this app helps you! You can search using Arabic or English. Thanks for your time and using the app!

## Enable snaps on Arch Linux and install Islam Research

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

On Arch Linux, snap can be installed from the [Arch User Repository (AUR).](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/snapd/)
The [manual build process](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_packages) is the Arch-supported
install method for AUR packages, and you’ll need the [prerequisites](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Prerequisites)
installed before you can install any AUR package. You can then install snap with the following:

```
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/snapd.git
cd snapd
makepkg -si
```

Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
```

If [AppArmor](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AppArmor) is enabled in your system, enable the service which loads AppArmor profiles for snaps:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor.service
```

To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`:

```
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
