There are billions of believers of various religions in the world and Islam is the second largest religion having 1.6 billion followers. The primary written sources of religious beliefs and practices of Muslims are the Quran and the Hadith (saying and practices of their prophet Muhammad Peace Be Upon Him). Written text of the Quran and the Hadith books is of manageable size and hence state of t...

In this paper we describe the Semantic Quran dataset, a multilingual RDF representation of translations of the Quran. The dataset was created by integrating data from two different semi-structured sources and aligned to an ontology designed to represent multilingual data from sources with a hierarchical structure. The resulting RDF data encompasses 43 different languages which belong to the mos...

The holy Quran is one of the Holy Books of God. It is considered one of the main references for an estimated 1.6 billion of Muslims around the world. The Holy Quran language is Arabic. Specialized as well as non-specialized people in religion need to search and lookup certain information from the Holy Quran. Most research projects concentrate on the translation of the holy Quran in different la...

Information Retrieval (IR) plays an important role in retrieving information related to the user’s query. IR relies on finding relevant data from a set of knowledge resources, such as the Quran. Finding information from the Quran can be based on metadata, indexing, or other content-based methods. The Quran is the most widely read book in the world and automating knowledge retrieval from this re...

Muslim believe that each Islam practice has its advantages and benefits in many different ways. This paper discussed an analysis of Electroencephalogram (EEG) signal of the resting state and calming mind during reading (reciting) Quran. The data collection of this study involves four different conditions, which are before reciting the Quran, before reading a book, during reciting the Quran and ...

We develop a framework for using the Natural Language Toolkit (NLTK) to parse Quranic Arabic sentences. This framework supports the construction of a treebank for the Holy Quran. The proposed model succeeds in parsing different Quranic chapters (Suras) in addition to Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) sentences. The availability of such parser will be useful in various natural language processing app...

Focusing on the use of semantic network representation, this paper presents an easy way in understanding concepts discussed in the Holy Quran. The Quran is known as the main source of knowledge and has been a major source reference for all types of problems. However, understanding the issues and the solution from the Quran is difficult due to lack of understanding of the Quran literature. The Q...

This is a fundamental article reporting newly observed mathematical-computational manifestations in Quran. The Principle Variations (PVs) for the purpose of textual analysis will be defined and a Normal Book model based on the stochastic nature of human writing will be developed. It will be shown that chapter word frequencies in Quran fit into an exponential model, in sharp contrast to the unif...

Observation of a multifaceted mathematical-computational structure of Quran through analysis of its letter and word frequencies and important implications of such observations have been extensively explained and discussed in a recent article: “Khodadoost B. (2015) The Computed Scripture: Exponentially Based Fourier Regulated Construct of Quran and its fundamentally important Consequences". In t...

In this paper, we analyse the Quran description of phenomena linked to the evolution of the universe in the light of our present knowledge in this domain. In fact, according to the Quranic text, the verses concerning Astronomy may be classified into two categories: the verses related to the solar system and those concerning the universe in general. For the first category, the Quran specifies th...
