A Continuation of Excellence from the Creators of The Alim CD-ROM
This site is brought to you by the same brothers and sisters that created The Alim CD-ROM software for Windows. Here you will find all the same high quality content that was available in the CD-ROM version plus an online social network for Muslims who care about Islamic knowledge.
The Birth of Alim CD-ROM
The ISL Software Corporation, predecessor to The Alim Foundation, was founded on May 9, 1986 by Shahid N. Shah and Amir Jafri in Houston, Texas. In an effort to promote the learning of Islam through software, and with the financial assistance from the Islamic Society of Greater Houston (ISGH) and family members, they began developing an application called The Hafiz which was meant to be a simple indexing and searching application for Islamic texts in electronic format. The Hafiz was never released, but was the predecessor of the eventual Alim CD-ROM software for Windows.
