I'm pretty sure your latest error is because of an space between " /Applications/Zekr.app/" and "Contents/MacOS/Zekr", the following should not give that "is a directory" error:
/Applications/Zekr.app/Contents/MacOS/Zekr But as for the writing permissions issue, if you don't want to take any risks, you can create a new user account (via System Preferences -> Users & Groups), log in to that user and then try running Zekr. If it works with that user the following may help: When you are sure that you have an up-to-date, working backup of your system , you can try the "III. Recovery Partition" section of this guide: http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/os-x-yosemite-how-to-reset-your-administrator-password But instead of resetting your password, click on the "Reset" button under the "Reset Home Folder Permissions and ACLs" section, as can be seen in this image: http://www.macobserver.com/imgs/tmo_articles/20140617resetpassword1a.jpg (You should select your HD and the affected user first).
