# Sources — QuranLab — Qur'an & Hadith Structured Corpus and Knowledge Graph QuranLab is a volunteer effort. Our aim is to present these sources carefully and at high quality, and to help them travel faithfully — in the spirit in which they were written — not to claim them as ours. This dataset was not gathered from anywhere directly. It is derived from our own corpora — [`quranlab/quran`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/quranlab/quran), [`quranlab/hadith`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/quranlab/hadith), [`quranlab/quran-audio`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/quranlab/quran-audio) — and everything in it can be traced back to them. Whatever thanks are owed are owed one step further up, so they are repeated here rather than left to a link. ## The projects the underlying corpora rest on - **[Tanzil Project](https://tanzil.net)** — The canonical Uthmani and Simple-Clean Arabic text, kept verbatim (CC BY 3.0). - **[fawazahmed0/quran-api](https://github.com/fawazahmed0/quran-api)** — An open aggregation through which most translations were collected. - **[QuranEnc.com](https://quranenc.com)** — Official translation and tafsīr editions, republished under their stated terms. - **[Tafsir Center for Quranic Studies](https://tafsir.net)** — Al-Sa'dī and al-Muyassar corpora (CC BY 4.0). - **[Quranic Universal Library (QUL)](https://qul.tarteel.ai)** — Current public API for several classical tafsīr resources. - **[spa5k/tafsir_api](https://github.com/spa5k/tafsir_api)** — MIT-packaged snapshots of classical tafsīr texts (the works themselves are public domain). - **[OpenITI RELEASE](https://openiti.org)** — Machine-readable classical Islamicate texts, pinned to an exact release (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0). - **[Diyanet İşleri Başkanlığı](https://kuran.diyanet.gov.tr)** — The official Turkish meal and the Kur'an Yolu commentary. - **[Quranic Arabic Corpus](https://corpus.quran.com)** — Word-by-word morphological annotation (GPL). - **[fawazahmed0/hadith-api](https://github.com/fawazahmed0/hadith-api)** — Ḥadīth collections aligned across languages, with multi-grader gradings. - **[mhashim6/Open-Hadith-Data](https://github.com/mhashim6/Open-Hadith-Data)** — Arabic matn for Musnad Aḥmad and al-Dārimī (ODbL-1.0 / DbCL-1.0). - **[HadeethEnc.com](https://hadeethenc.com)** — A graded, many-language selection of prophetic ḥadīth (IslamHouse / Saudi Ministry of Islamic Affairs). - **[everyayah.com](https://everyayah.com)** — Per-ayah recitation references (VerseByVerseQuran). - **[mp3quran.net](https://mp3quran.net)** — Per-surah recitation references across many readings. - **[cpfair/quran-align](https://github.com/cpfair/quran-align)** — The open word-level timing that existed before ours, for 11 recordings (CC BY 4.0). - **[jonatasgrosman/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53-arabic](https://huggingface.co/jonatasgrosman/wav2vec2-large-xlsr-53-arabic)** — The open acoustic model we used to align the recordings that had no timing. Per-work terms and credit stay with the corpora, where each config carries its own entry. ## Consulted, but never quoted The same care applies here. These helped us decide what a work is and where a passage belongs; none of their text is present. - **[Quranpedia](https://quranpedia.net)** — It told us where one commentary's passages belong, and confirmed the school of two authors. Not a word of it is in the data. - **[TDV İslâm Ansiklopedisi](https://islamansiklopedisi.org.tr)** — Our first stop when we needed to be sure who an author was and where he stood. Read, never reproduced. - **[sunnah.com](https://sunnah.com)** — Each ḥadīth carries a link to its page there, and nothing more — their text and gradings stay theirs. - **Scholarly studies and critical editions** — Consulted whenever a work's standing needed better evidence than our own reading. Cited in `metadata/`. ## If we got something wrong If you hold rights to a work that reached this dataset, or we have credited someone poorly, write to us on the **Community** tab of [`quranlab/islamic-corpus-graph`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/quranlab/islamic-corpus-graph). A removal request is honoured promptly and without argument.
