Holly Qur'an must be written correctly and precisely without any modification, despite the fact that some characters used in Qur'an does not have a corresponding Unicode representation. The aim of this paper is building a system that translates the Holly Qur'an to Qur'anic code, this translation will be done on three levels, character level, word level, and phrase level. Character level will be translated by extracting all the Arabic characters in the Holly Qur'an with all diacritics available in the Holly Qur'an regardless the linguistic combinations, and adding new character that has a symbol in the Holly Qur'an (Rasm Al-'Uthmani) [1] and has no Unicode representation for it. Word level will be translated by extracting all the duplicated words, generate a special code for these words. Phrase level will be created by extracting all similar patterns of variable lengths using enhanced (Lempel, Ziv, and Welch) LZW data Compression technique. We will use LZW technique for pattern extraction not for data compression.

This paper addresses real-word spell checking using context words and n-gram language models. A corpus that consists of different Arabic topics is collected. A collection of confusion sets is normally used in addressing real-word errors. Twenty eight confusion sets are chosen in our experiments. These sets were collected from the most common confused words made by non-native Arabic speakers and from OCR misrecognized words. The probabilities of the context words of the confusion sets are estimated using a window-based technique. N-gram language models are used to detect real-word errors and to choose the best correction for the errors once found. An automatic context-sensitive spell checking prototype that detects and corrects real-word errors in Arabic text is implemented. The experimental results showed promising correction accuracy.

In this paper, we propose a set of regulations and standards to measure the quality of Software systems serving the domain of the Holy Qur'an.These standards will allow The Information Technology Research Center for the Holy Quran and Its Sciences "Noor" the ability to evaluate and accredit software systems serving the domain of the Holy Qur'an according to the quality standards specified. The proposed accreditation system apply basic standards so that it does not allow for software that did not adhere to these standards to obtain the accreditation. Also, we propose to allow three levels of accreditation of software that has been certified according to specific criteria. This proposed quality measure provides the sccreditation validity, the rules of maintaining the accreditation and the conditions under which reaccreditation can be granted according to certain condidtion. A complete accreditation mechanism for companies by providing accreditation prerequisites, information on how to store software versions of accredited software and guidelines on how accreditation is granted. Therefore, since there is the possibility of expected fraud of using illegal accreditation certificates by some software application, we proposed some techniques to authenticate certifications and allow users to make sure the used software is certified by the NOOR center. Finally, the promotion of "NOOR" software accreditation between software development companies are discussed and some ideas are suggested.

In-between animated transition can be utilized for various purposes. Among others it can be used for screen savers on PC or advertising on billboard. In the case of advertising on the billboard, a series of video clip or still images will be displayed to the prospective users. Between these clips, animated transitions will be applied so that the change from one clip to another can be smoothly displayed. Currently various transition technique can be used for achieving this effect, mathematical-based interpolation such as linear or spline-based interpolation can be used. Similarly, nature movement pattern such as flowing water and flaming fire model are also utilized. It is widely known that Quranic verses give soothing effect to its listeners. However, not much has been studied on applying the soothing effect on visual medium. This paper looks at recreating the soothing effect on something which is visual-based. This sound-induced visualization re-creates the transition animation using Quranic verses recitation derived pattern as its model. Comparison is done with existing interpolation technique and nature based interpolation. Visual Attractive Rating experiments are conducted to measure the attractiveness level among each other. The results shows that the Quranic verses pattern can potentially produced attractive animated transition on par with general transition to be implemented for application such as advertising billboard or screen savers.

The Holy Quran is very important to the Muslims with respect to its authenticity. This paper studies and exploits the fragile watermarking method that works on block-wise in the wavelet domain and pixel-wise in the spatial domain. The input image is transformed into wavelet domain using discrete wavelet transform. Then, using block-wise based approach the coefficients matrix of wavelet-transformed image is divided into several blocks for further watermark the authentication bits. The authentication bits are embedded into a block with 2n elements by modifying only one original element with ±1. Afterward, the modified coefficients matrix is inverted back to the spatial domain. The difference of coefficients matrix of the modified and the inverse is embedded on the pixel by changing one insignificant bit. Obviously, it ensures imperceptible watermark on the host image. Public-key cryptography is utilized to encrypt the authentication bits. The authentication bits are derived from input image using well-known hash function. The experimental result shows proposed method is able to detect any manipulation on the content of digital Holy Quran and thus preserves its content's integrity.

There are several types of institutions which provide private Quran instruction in Turkey. The most prevail of institutions are Imam-Hatip High Schools and private Quran courses. Also, after the changes in educational system in 2012, optional Quran courses have been made available to all students in elementary schools. In addition, there is a mandatory course entitled Religious Culture and Moral Education in schools. However, teaching Quran is not a part of course content. Rather, it aims to teach individuals cultural, religious, and moral values. Also, within this course, students are required to learn short surahs and duas for prayer and their Turkish meanings. However, while teaching/learning these surahs and duas, teachers and students face many difficulties. Specifically, students who do not know Arabic have to memorize those surahs and duas that are written by using letters from Latin Alphabet, which causes incorrect readings phonetically. Also, this course is given two hours per week, thus, it is difficult for teachers to focus on each student and correct mis-readings. In this study, based on the problems mentioned above, an instructional material was designed to help students learn short surahs and duas for prayer. Elementary school students' development level and features of interactive whiteboards were considered while designing the software. The software consists of three levels. The first level aims to teach students surahs and duas in Arabic by listening and watching. The second level focuses on their meanings. The third level is devoted for sustainability through practices. Students who get to the third level have to answer some filling-the-gap and drag & drop questions, matching the meanings with surahs/duas, and similar activities.

This paper aims to enlightening a unique technique influenced by modern methodologies of advanced learning implemented in various domains of knowledge. Faster communication and manipulation of data are the aspects of IT that contribute lot to the learning minds by keeping the continuity and captivating the learner to absorb more and more in efficient manner. Harvesting these qualities of IT and merging it for easier, better and structured learning of holy Quran is the main objective of this paper. Arabic language in general and dialectal of holy Quran in particular is under the focus of many researchers in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP). Arabic has morphology that differs from English in very basic level but it does follow systematic pattern when inflectional or derivational morphology is discussed. The challenges in the structuring of such a vast variety of data and their successful accomplishment are also added in brief but strengthen with examples to provide the depth of work carried out in this domain. Initially 23 attributes per word are applied to Quranic words (70% of words are covered till to date) based on Arabic parts of speech. These attributes are defined in such manner that language hierarchy is conserved to its maximum. The said application can be further enhanced to micro level data structuring. This effort did lead to implementation of information retrieval system that provides the proper tagging to each step. This approach can be further utilised in the field of Quranic education and research.

Quran Recitation relies on identifying and applying different Tajweed rules [ÞæÇÚÏ ÇáÊÌæíÏ] such as Muddud [ãÏæÏ] and Tanween [Êäæíä] in the Quran text. This research is aimed at providing a tool that automatically finds and annotates letters that embody Tajweed rules in Quran text. This field remains an open research area due to the lack of open source NLP tools that support the Arabic language. Applying Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques on Quran text to extract Tajweed letters is considered an important Information Extraction (IE) step. This research explores the field of applying IE techniques on Quran text. Rule based IE techniques are well known to achieve optimal results. This research explores NLP techniques on Quranic text using GATE, an open source flexible NLP environment. GATE is employed for this research to build the application that processes un-annotated Quranic text corpus. The developed application is evaluated using the well known IE evaluation metrics precision and recall. By comparing the system's automatically annotated text with a gold standard (i.e. Quran text). The system proved to be efficient by achieving 100% precision and recall of the implemented Tajweed rules.
