In the fast-paced world of software development, it's easy to become completely immersed in code and forget to take meaningful breaks. As a Muslim developer, I'm excited to announce Zakker - a JetBrains IDE plugin that seamlessly integrates Islamic remembrances (Azkar) into your development environment.

What is Zakker?

Zakker is more than just a plugin; it's a bridge between your spiritual practice and professional work. It provides easy access to a comprehensive collection of Islamic remembrances right within your favorite JetBrains IDE, making it convenient to maintain your connection with Allah while coding.

Key Features

📖 Comprehensive Daily Azkar

• Access a carefully curated collection of authentic Islamic remembrances
• Perfect for morning and evening Azkar, and various occasions throughout the day
• Each Zikr includes Arabic text and transliteration

🗂️ Smart Organization

• Intuitively categorized Azkar for different times and occasions
• Quick navigation between categories

🔍 Powerful Search

• Find specific Azkar instantly with the built-in search functionality
• Search by keywords in Arabic
• Filter by categories or occasions

⚡ Seamless Integration

Why Zakker?

As developers, we spend countless hours in our IDEs. Zakker was created with the vision of making it easier for Muslim developers to remember Allah while working. Instead of switching between different apps or websites, you can now access beautiful remembrances right where you code.

Data Source and Authenticity

The Azkar collection in this plugin is sourced from the well-researched database compiled by Eng. Osama Younis in his azkar-db repository. Each remembrance has been carefully verified to ensure authenticity.

This is just the beginning. I'm committed to enhancing Zakker with more features such as:
