New Online Islamic Tool
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaah,
MashaAllaah, I was very recently informed of a major contribution to the online Islamic search tools. A brother at MIT has been working on this project for the past couple of years, and now, it is finally up, alhamdulillaah. The website (http://quran.csail.mit.edu) is an online Qur’an, but it is much more than that too.
When you click on a surah, in addition to the Arabic aayaat, the English translations, and introduction (the translation and introduction done the same way as on the USC website), you also get a transliteration of each verse and an Arabic jpeg of each verse, for easy reading. But that is not at all the amazing part… what is amazing is that you can click on each Arabic word in an aayah and you get the following information:
1. All other occurrances of this word in the Qur’an.
2. The three letter Arabic root of the word.
3. All other words in the Qur’an that also have the same three letter root.
4. All occurrances of these words in the Qur’an.
I am not sure if something similar to this has been done before, so if anyone knows of anything like this, please inform inshaAllah. Also, the website was not made by a scholar, so keep that in mind (but the introductions to the soorahs are from Mawdudi’s Tafheem ulQuran, and the translations are from Yusuf Ali, Pikthal, and Shakir).
InshaAllah the website can bring Muslims much benefit. May Allah reward the brother for his efforts.
Wassalaam
