Sabily (Arabic: سبيلي, IPA: [sæˈbiːliː], My Way) is a free, open source operating system designed by and for Muslims. It is based on the popular Ubuntu Linux distribution[3] which is a Free and Open Source (FOSS) operating system and has pre-installed packages for the Arabic language.
Sabily includes a set of packages that customizes Ubuntu. Ubuntu is easy to use for a novice user,[3][4] with the most-used Office, Internet, Graphics and Video applications already installed.[3] With Sabily, Muslim users have “out of the box” Islamic software and tools installed as well. Sabily includes Islamic software (prayer times tool, Qur'an study tool, Hijri calendar etc.) and has a custom design.
