Sources & Attribution
Last updated: 8 July 2026
Quranic Word Explorer uses established Qur'anic data, translation, morphology, font, audio, and software sources. We credit them here and ask users to respect each source's own terms.
Qur’anic text and verse data
Arabic Qur’anic text, verse structure, and related verse data are sourced through the Quran.com API and its associated data providers. We use these resources to display the Arabic text, verse references, translations, and word-level study information.
Translations and word meanings
Urdu and English meanings are drawn from published translation and word-by-word data made available through the sources above. Translations are human explanations of meaning, not the Qur’an itself. A short word gloss is especially limited and should be understood as a learning aid, not a complete explanation.
Morphology, roots, and lemmas
Root, lemma, and morphology information is derived from the Quranic Arabic Corpus by Kais Dukes and contributors, together with related open morphology datasets. This is academic and computational annotation, so users should expect occasional differences from other scholarly works.
Recitation audio
Full-ayah recitation audio is streamed from EveryAyah.com, including recitations such as Shaykh Yasser Ad-Dussary where available. Word-level audio may use Quran.com-hosted audio assets. Audio rights remain with the reciters, publishers, and hosting providers.
How we process the data
The app imports and transforms source data into searchable word pages, frequency counts, occurrence lists, reader views, bookmarks, notes, and learning features. We may normalize Arabic forms for search, group words by root or lemma, and link words to ayahs and audio. These processing steps are useful for learning, but they can introduce mistakes or merge cases differently from a printed mushaf or scholarly reference.
Fonts and software
Arabic typography uses Amiri, Urdu typography uses Noto Nastaliq Urdu, and the app is built with open-source tools including Next.js, React, Tailwind CSS, Supabase, and lucide-react. Each project remains subject to its own licence.
Respecting source licences
Please do not scrape, copy, or redistribute data from this app in a way that violates the licences or terms of the original data providers. If a source provider or rights holder believes attribution should be changed or content should be corrected or removed, please email contact@quranicwordexplorer.com.
Accuracy note
We are grateful for these sources, but attribution does not mean every display in this app is guaranteed correct. Please also read our Disclaimer.
