Our approach: Noor helps people read, understand, and reflect on the Quran. We identify the exact text, translation, annotation, recording, and font sources separately. A source credit acknowledges its contributor; it does not by itself grant redistribution rights or certify accuracy. Some edition-specific rights and content checks are still open.
Arabic Quran text
Noor uses the Tanzil Quran Text (Uthmani script, version 1.1), exported from tanzil.net and used verbatim in the apps and on this site, as Tanzil's text license permits with credit, a link to tanzil.net, and its notice.
How Noor's word study was made
For every word of the Quran, Noor shows its meaning, a pronunciation guide, and its grammar. This is Noor's own work, built word by word from the Arabic, not copied from another dataset. Here is how it was made:
- The verified text. Every word comes from the Tanzil Uthmani text (version 1.1), a carefully verified digital Mushaf text. Not a letter was changed.
- Rules first. Before any word was studied, we wrote a detailed guide: how to translate, how to divide a word into its parts, the grammar categories, how roots are written, and when a word must be marked as uncertain.
- Each word read in its verse. All 77,432 words were studied with AI assistance, reading the whole verse for context and following the conventions of classical Arabic grammar (iʿrāb).
- Checked by software. Every word's parts had to spell it exactly as written in the Mushaf, and every grammar label had to follow the rules. Nothing was accepted until it passed.
- Reviewed a second time. A separate, independent review re-read every verse and corrected about one word in eighty, recording each correction and its reason.
- Consistent across the Quran. A word keeps the same root wherever it appears, while words that only look alike stay apart, such as عاد (the people of ʿĀd) and عاد ("returned").
- Audited from outside. A separate AI system audited the finished study, and the issues it found were corrected at the source.
- Pronunciation by fixed rules. Transliteration is produced by written rules for sun letters, the connecting hamza, the name Allah and more, and is tested automatically.
- Uncertainty made clear. About 4,250 words that allow more than one meaning or grammatical reading are marked. We also compared every word's root, and whether it is a verb, with the analysis of the Quranic Arabic Corpus (University of Leeds). About 1,000 words where the two analyses differ were set aside, with the marked words, for review by specialists. Nothing was copied from that analysis.
The same study powers the Noor apps and this website, and automated tests confirm that all three show identical words. We made every effort to get it right. If something looks wrong, please write to contact@omniat.net and we will review it.
Translations and tafseer
Current verse translations include Saheeh International, Yusuf Ali, Pickthall, and Jalandhry Urdu editions obtained through AlQuran.cloud. Current tafseer files come from several digital editions of classical works. Their authors, translators, editors, and digitizers retain any applicable rights; API or download availability is not a blanket commercial or offline license, and exact-edition rights are tracked separately.
Tajweed, recordings, and fonts
Tajweed highlighting adapts the cpfair/quran-tajweed annotations under CC BY 4.0; offsets were re-aligned to the Tanzil 1.1 text. This annotation license does not license the underlying Quran edition. Recitations are streamed from Islamic Network/CDN; recording rights remain with the reciters or their estates and are reviewed separately. Amiri, Noto Naskh Arabic, Scheherazade New, and Cormorant fonts carry SIL OFL notices in the app bundles; exact binary provenance remains in review.
Copyright and corrections
Noor is developed and operated by Wamadat. Noor-original material © 2026 Wamadat. Quran text editions, translations, recordings, annotations, tafseer digitizations, fonts, and open-source components retain their respective owners' rights and applicable licenses. A Noor copyright notice does not claim ownership of those works. Source attribution does not replace permission where permission is required.
Our rights and content audit is ongoing. If you find a text, attribution, scholarly, or rights issue, contact contact@omniat.net. We will investigate and correct verified issues. Ask Noor is an AI study companion, not a scholar or source of rulings; confirm anything consequential with a qualified scholar and reliable sources.
