RNA - An international Islamic organization has warned of distorted applications of Quran, the Muslim holy book, for Android devices.

In a Sunday statement, the Holy Quran Memorization International Organization (HQMI) said it has received complaints about mistakes in free Quran apps on digital media stores as Apple Store and Google Play.

It cited missing letters in some words or mistakes in verses and punctuation in these free Quran apps.

“Some pages [of the Holy Quran] were also deleted whether intentionally or unintentionally,” said the organization, which is affiliated to the Muslim World League.

The statement appealed to Muslims to be cautious while using free Quran apps and suggested some reliable sources for users willing to read and study the Muslim book on their smartphones and computers.
