Table Quran Data - warwickfoster/qurantools GitHub Wiki

The quran-data table represents the foundational dataset for the Qur'an, including information about its verses, chapters (suras), and textual structure. It provides the original Arabic text and metadata such as verse numbering, chapter information, and divisions of the text for both analysis and display purposes. Each entry corresponds to a single verse, forming the backbone of Qur'anic data management.

Example Interpretation of Data

Row Example:

FIELD VALUE
RECORD NUMBER 127719
LOCATION (100:10:1:2)
SURA-VERSE 100:10
TRANSLITERATED wa-ḥuṣṣila
RENDERED ARABIC وَحُصِّلَ
TAG V
TAG EXPLAINED Verb
ROOT HSl
ROUGH TRANSLATION And is made apparent

Interpretation:

This record represents a verb (TAG: V) in Sura 100, Verse 10. The verb, transliterated as wa-ḥuṣṣila, is rendered in Arabic as وَحُصِّلَ and stems from the root HSl. The root indicates the semantic concept of something being "gathered" or "made apparent," contextualized in this verse as an action. The word is part of a passive voice construction (PERSON: 3, VOICE: Passive) and carries significant theological implications in the context of divine judgment.

Contextual Significance

  1. Textual Criticism:

    • Fields like CHANGES AFFECTING WORD and PREVIOUS ARABIC document manuscript variations, crucial for analyzing the textual history of the Qur'an.

  2. Linguistic Semantics:

    • The table facilitates semantic analysis of Qur'anic language by linking words to their roots, lemmas, and glosses.

  3. Thematic Analysis:

    • By examining FORMULA-* fields, researchers can identify recurring themes and formulaic structures, shedding light on the Qur'an's rhetorical strategies.

  4. Cross-Linguistic Comparisons:

    • Transliteration and transliteration fixes allow for accurate phonetic representations, enabling comparative studies between Arabic and other languages.

  5. Machine Learning and NLP:

    • The structured data can train models for natural language processing tasks, such as part-of-speech tagging, lemmatization, or translation.
