Tanzil Project

From Tanzil

Tanzil is a quranic project launched in early 2007 to produce a highly verified precise quran text to be used in quranic websites and applications. Our mission in the Tanzil project is to produce a standard quran text and serve as a reliable source for this standard text on the web.

Why Tanzil?

Since the appearance of the first digital copy of the holy quran, there have been substantial effort to produce an accurate quran text, but due to some difficulties (some of which are listed below), these efforts have been unsuccessful in many of the cases, and unfortunately, the simple quran texts currently used in the majority of quranic websites and applications have lots of errors and typos.

The erroneous quran text has been so rapidly spread over the Internet that nowadays finding the correct form of quranic verses has become almost impossible without referring to a verified printed manuscript. For example, if one searches Google for the verse 38 of Sura Al-Ghalam which reads إِنَّ لَكُمْ فِيهِ لَمَا تَخَيَّرُونَ, the first result that he or she will get is a wrong form ending with the word يَتَخَيَّرُونَ as shown in the picture to the right.

This terrible situation made us to launch the Tanzil project to produce a highly verified error-free quran text, and make this text available to the quranic websites and applications to prevent further spreading of the erroneous quran texts.

Typos in the existing quran texts

Muslims "must" unite all over the World
and pray for the appearance of al Mahdi (r.a.) the Savior of mankind
the descendant of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w.

Dear all - salaams

The following webiste has been shared by someone:

http://tanzil. info

We all listen to the Quran but didn't understand the meaning because it's in Arabic language and we do not have any means to translate it in our mother language.

Below mentioned is an amazing website for the Holy Quran. Just put the mouse on any line and you will find the translation of that line or you can click the translation in the top of the page in the left corner for the entire Surah. In the left side for this website you can choose Surah (from
all 114 Surah).

You can select the translation given by different translators - like for Urdu language, there are five options available. The authenticity of that needs to be seen - however, no doubt a good effort twoards 'quran fahmi'.

Moreover you can choose any Aayah, can search by the page number.

You can also select the Qari whose recitation you want to listen

Kind regards
