Reading, filtering and returning to your position

Choose a model. Its data, duplicate groups, volumes and hiding choices remain independent. Find a surah by number, Arabic name or Latin name.
A duplicate group contains all occurrences of the same repeated word or passage according to the model’s rules. Check the last column to hide the entire group, including occurrences outside the visible page. In “Hidden duplicate groups”, select groups to restore or restore all. Click outside, move focus outside, press Escape or use Close to dismiss the menu.
Hiding choices are saved per model in this browser and shared between its tabs without changing the database. “Show table” preserves them and gives access to all 13 volumes. Without filters, pagination follows the source table; with filtering or sorting, the volume’s results are allocated to pages of 50 before hiding. Hiding or restoring does not redistribute rows between these pages. Quran, table and PDF pages are different.
Choose the minimum word count in the “Duplicate” header. Spaces, including an invisible separator found in some texts, separate words: a detached waw counts as a word; an attached waw stays attached. Combine the filter with hidden groups without changing source text or counts.
Arrows on “Duplicate”, “Isolated in ayah”, “Total isolated”, “Ayah Count” and “Surah Count” cycle through ascending, descending and source order. “Duplicate” sorts by word count; the others sort numerically. One sort applies to all matching results, not just the visible page; complete rows move together and ties keep source order.
The compact surah bar combines the name, represented verse count and navigation by verse or Quran page. An out-of-range number triggers a red message without changing the view. “Whole surah” clears navigation only, preserving hidden groups and minimum words.
Click text in the “Duplicate” column to open its group. “Back to table” restores the view, filters, page and reading position. First, Previous, Next and Last instead open the new page at the top.
“Full-screen table” opens a focused view with pagination. Exit with the button or Escape. While scrolling, ↑ buttons on both left and right return the table and page to the top.
In the First Model and the Second Model, both exact search and normalized search ignoring diacritics show non-duplicate matches on a muted grey-sage background, very pale in light mode and dark in night mode, without changing the text colour. Overlapping duplicates always retain their original red text and pink background: search highlighting never covers them. Original Quranic text and diacritics remain unchanged.
The “Search highlighting: on / off” button in the search bar shows or hides only this additional background, immediately and without running the search again. Results, counts, filters, pagination, reading position and duplicate colours stay unchanged. On by default, this display choice is saved in this browser and shared across the Second Model, the First Model and both search modes; it is not included in a shared link. If local storage is unavailable, the button still works in the current view.
In “Text with tashkīl”, select the desired passage of a verse and use Ctrl+C. To select the whole verse, click its cell, then use Ctrl+A and Ctrl+C. On Mac, use the Command key. Letters and diacritics are preserved.
The Arabic keyboard provides letters, diacritics, Quranic signs and extended variants. Insert at the cursor or replace a selection. “Clear search” empties the field without submitting. All tools support the four languages and light/dark themes.

Choosing a model and moving around the site

We recommend that beginners start with “Model No. 1”: it follows the order of the Quran, from surah 1 to surah 114, and is the easiest to learn. There, you decide yourself whether to open a duplicate’s group by clicking its text in the “المكرر” column.

“Model No. 2” shows each duplicate with its whole chain of repetitions, one after another. A frequent duplicate such as “الله” (2393 repetitions) forms a very long list there: use this model mainly to see a complete chain at once.

In “Model No. 2”, a surah does not necessarily start with its first verse. Rows are arranged duplicate by duplicate, in the order of the search results: first all the verses of the surah that contain the first duplicate (for example “الله”), then those of the next duplicate, and so on. The first verse is therefore not missing: if it contains a duplicate, it appears further down, with that duplicate. “Model No. 1” follows the order of the verses.

In “Model No. 2”, two small arrows accompany each verse. The “▲” arrow takes you to the duplicate before the displayed group, and the “▼” arrow to the duplicate after the last row of that group, even if it is on another page. The tour started with this model’s “Guided tour” button also presents them.

To return to the home page from the table or from any other page, click the “Home” button or the project’s main logo at the top of the page.

The site opens in your browser’s language when it is one of the four available languages (Arabic, French, English, Spanish), otherwise in English. You can change the language at any time with the language menu at the top of the page; your choice is then remembered.

The table size you choose with “−” and “+” is kept from one page to the next and on your next visits; “100%” restores it. On phones and tablets, the whole command bar above the table scrolls sideways with your finger, including the table size, the guided tour and full screen. On Android phones, “Full-screen table” also hides the browser’s address bar; on iPhone, Safari does not allow websites to do this: turn the phone sideways to gain space.

In this project, “بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ” is counted as the first verse of Surah Al-Fatiha. The “Methodology” page explains this choice.

Show several duplicates and move around the table

In “Duplicate”, a box precedes each result. Tick up to 20 duplicates, then choose “Show the selection”: the table shows these groups one after another, in the order of the list. Clicking a duplicate itself still opens its group alone.
Model No. 1, volume view: the “Surah”, “Verse” and “Quran page” menus move the table without filtering anything. A surah takes you to its first verse, even in another volume; a verse or a page is chosen from the list or typed, then Enter or “Go”. The row found flashes yellow. A verse number that is too high or a page that does not exist is reported.
Model No. 1, “Surah” view: the “Duplicates within the surah” button keeps only the duplicates repeated at least twice in the surah (green text) and those repeated at least twice in the same verse (column “Isolated in ayah” of 2 or more). Pressing it again restores the whole table. If the surah has none, a message says so.
On a phone, the “Table view” heading scrolls as one block with the list of volumes.

Previous volume, a surah’s duplicates and search without repetition

Start of a volume: when you go back to the first page with “Previous” or “First” (volumes 2 to 13), an alert offers to open the last page of the previous volume, with the same table choices. It does not appear when you arrive in a new volume.
Surah index, “بحث عن مكرر” panel: the “Only this surah's duplicates” button limits the list to duplicates found in the surah. A second button chooses the rows shown when you open a duplicate: “Rows shown: this surah” or “Rows shown: whole Quran”. You can change these choices at any time.
Search: the “One verse, no repetition: on” button (default) shows each verse found once, with the search colour only; the Isolated in ayah, Isolated + non-isolated in ayah, Total isolated, Total isolated + non-isolated, Ayah Count and Surah Count columns are recounted for the searched text. When off, it shows every repetition with the original colours and figures. The “Search highlighting” button remains available.

Ticked surahs, history and search colour

“Surah” menu with tick boxes (a duplicate’s page, selected duplicates, Search page): tick one, two or more surahs to keep only their rows; each surah shows its number of rows. No box ticked: every surah. “Uncheck all” clears the choice.
A duplicate’s page with a single surah ticked: each counter above the table is split in two — the database figure on one side, the duplicate’s figure in that surah on the other. The Total isolated, Total isolated + non-isolated, Ayah Count and Surah Count columns keep the database figures.
History: the “History” button, in the “بحث عن مكرر” panel and on the Search page, keeps the last 15 searched texts on this device (one history per model). Click a text to use it again; “Clear history” empties the list.
Colour of the searched text: on the Search page, the “Colour” button chooses the background of the searched text, separately when “One verse, no repetition” is off (current colour by default, so that the red and pink of duplicates stay in front) and when it is on (amber yellow by default).

Kept surah, Arabic keyboards and alerts

“Surah” menu and “All segments” (“Model No. 1”, view of one volume or of the 13 volumes): when a surah is chosen in the “Surah” menu, changing “All segments” (2+, 3+…) keeps that surah. The table stays on the verse you were reading if it contains a duplicate of at least that number of words, otherwise it moves to the next verse of the surah that contains one. If there is none after that verse, it goes back to the first verse of the surah that contains one; if the surah contains none, an alert explains it. With no surah chosen, the table returns to its first page, as before.
Arabic keyboards: the first row, amber-coloured and separated from the other letters, gathers the special letters “ء آ أ ؤ إ ئ ٱ” and the ligature “لا”.
Alerts: every alert shown above the table is rewritten at once in the chosen language, without disappearing.
Site not responding: if the internet connection is down or the site’s server does not respond, a red banner marked “!” says so at the bottom of the screen; it checks every 30 seconds and the table reloads by itself as soon as the site responds. If you open the site during an outage, after having visited it on this device, a “Site temporarily unavailable” page in 4 languages appears and reopens the site as soon as it is back.
Surah pages: under the table, the block “Duplicates in Surah …” (closed at first) summarises the surah: its longest duplicates and those most repeated in the Quran, with their figures; each duplicate opens its full group.

“Recitation & tafsir” page

Open the 6th box, “Recitation & tafsir”, on the home page of “Model No. 1” or “Model No. 2”. The page’s “Guided tour” button shows each part of it. This page needs the internet.

Choice: surah and verse. The page address keeps this choice, to come back to it or share it. “Follow the recitation in the text” moves the chosen verse along with the recitation.
“Continuous listening”: the whole surah, with more than 200 reciters (search by name). It keeps playing with the phone screen off; the controls stay on the lock screen. When the reciter has verse timings, the recited verse is highlighted and the previous / next verse buttons work. At the end of the surah: stop, repeat or go to the next one. The “Limit listening to a range” box opens 4 menus (starting surah and verse, ending surah and verse): listening starts at the starting verse, moves on by itself to the following surahs and stops at the ending verse, or repeats the range. Without verse timings for the reciter, it runs from the beginning of the starting surah to the end of the last surah. Speed from 0.75× to 1.5×.
“Memorization”: choose the range with 4 menus — starting surah and verse, ending surah and verse (it may run from one surah to another; a verse number that does not exist in the chosen surah triggers an alert) —, how many times each verse is repeated (1, 2, 3… up to 50), how many cycles the whole range starts again (1 to 20, or endless) and an optional pause between repetitions. Example: verses 1 to 2, 2 repetitions, 2 cycles = 8 recitations (1, 1, 2, 2, then 1, 1, 2, 2). 42 verse-by-verse reciters.
Resume and bookmarks: the last listening position is kept automatically (“Resume”). Bookmarks, with an optional note, keep the surah, verse, moment and reciter. Everything stays in this browser; nothing is sent to the site.
“Text and translation”: the whole surah, with the chosen translation (French, English or Spanish). “Listen to this verse” recites it at once. “Tafsir”: al-Muyassar, Ibn Kathir, al-Tabari, al-Qurtubi, al-Sa’di, al-Baghawi, al-Wasit, and abridged Ibn Kathir in English.
“Words and roots”: tap a word to see first its meaning in Arabic, from 4 books of غريب القرآن (السراج في بيان غريب القرآن, التبيان في تفسير غريب القرآن, كلمات القرآن, تذكرة الأريب), then its English meaning, root, base form, grammatical analysis, how many words from this root are in the Quran and the list of verses where it appears; each verse in the list opens with one click. The list “Meanings of the verse’s words” gathers all the verse’s explanations.
“After each verse” (in “Memorization”): nothing, “Listen to the translation” or “Listen to التفسير الميسر”. After the last repetition of each verse, its translation or tafsir is read once, then the recitation moves on to the next verse, up to the end of the range. Voice of the translation: Rachid Maach (French), Saheeh International read by Ibrahim Walk or Rowwad (English); there is no verse-by-verse recording in Spanish, so the translation is read by the device voice, which may stop when the screen turns off.
“Favourite translation”: in “Text and translation”, the “Make it the favourite translation” button keeps your translation (language and translator). It is then shown by default everywhere: Recitation & tafsir, and under the verses of the study tools (“Show the translation” button).
“Offline listening” (at the bottom of the player): choose the part (4 menus) and what is kept — verse by verse, with or without the translation or التفسير الميسر after each verse, or whole surahs —, then “Save on this device”. The “Offline listening” page then plays these files without internet, even with the screen off (repetitions of each verse, reading after the verse, start the part again). The files stay in the device’s browser; “Delete” erases them.
“Tafsir videos”: for the chosen verse, one button per scholar (محمد بن صالح العثيمين، محمد متولي الشعراوي، عثمان الخميس، صالح المغامسي، محمد راتب النابلسي، مساعد الطيار، عبد الرحمن الشهري، المختصر في التفسير) opens on YouTube the search “تفسير سورة … الآية …” with his name; a field lets you add another scholar. The results are YouTube’s: check the verse and the speaker.

“Duplicate of the day” and the “Duplicate study” page

The “Duplicate of the day” is on the home page of “Model No. 1” and “Model No. 2”. Its “All duplicate study tools” button opens the “Duplicate study” page, with 5 tabs; its “Guided tour” button presents them.

“Duplicate of the day”: a duplicate of at least 4 words found in 2 to 8 verses, the same for everyone during the day (Paris time). Its verses are shown with the passage in colour. Buttons: see the whole group, compare these verses, listen to all occurrences, add to favourites, share.
“متشابهات quiz”: choose the part you have learned (see below), the minimum number of words of the duplicate (2 to 10; 2 is useful for a small part) and the question type. The question and all the proposed answers are taken from your part. “Where is this verse?”: find the surah and verse among the verses of the same duplicate. “What comes next?”: the verse stops after the duplicate; choose the right continuation among those of the similar verses. The score is kept in this browser.
“Compare 2 verses”: choose 2 verses (surah and verse), or 2 verses of the same duplicate. Common words are grey, words only in verse 1 red, words only in verse 2 blue; the number of words is given for each case. The page address keeps both verses, so the link can be shared.
“Statistics per surah”: for each surah, its verses, the “Verses with a duplicate” and their share, the number of “Duplicates”, the “Total isolated in the surah”, the longest duplicate and the most repeated one in the Quran (each opens its page). Tap a column title to sort; the last row gives the totals.
“Favourites and notes”: the duplicates added to favourites, with an editable personal note, and the “Recitation & tafsir” bookmarks. Everything stays in this browser; “Export to a file” and “Import from a file” let you find them again on another device.
“The part I have learned”: 4 menus — starting surah and verse, ending surah and verse — for those who have learned only one surah, part of a surah or several surahs. A verse number that does not exist in the chosen surah, or an end placed before the start, triggers an alert. This choice is kept in this browser and used everywhere: quiz, “Duplicate of the day in the part I have learned” (a duplicate found at least 2 times in your part), statistics (“Only the part I have learned”) and listening to all occurrences (all of them by default; the “Only the part I have learned” box limits it to the verses of your part). In “Recitation & tafsir”, “Use the part I have learned” and “Save as the part I have learned” link the recitation range to this choice. The “Whole Quran” button goes back to the entire Quran.
On each duplicate’s page, a single purple “Duplicate tools” button, in the top band next to “Back to the table” (no extra line above the table), opens a floating menu: add to favourites, note, compare these verses, listen to all occurrences (verse after verse, reciter of your choice, list repeated if you want), share. The note and the listening open in a floating window, closed with “×”. The table and its figures do not change.
Quiz: “Number of questions” (5, 10, 20 or “Until the end”) and “Order of the questions”. “Without repetition”: each verse of the chosen part is asked only once, in a shuffled order; “Until the end” then goes through all its verses. “With repetition”: random questions; with “Until the end”, without limit until “End the quiz”. The “Question 3 of 10” bar follows the progress, and a summary is shown at the end. After each answer, “Show the translation” gives the favourite translation of the verse (also under the verses of the duplicate of the day, the comparison and the listening to all occurrences).

New: locations quiz, verse videos, back buttons

“Locations quiz” (“Duplicate study” page): choose your part (4 menus), the “Minimum number of words of the duplicate” (from 1 word), “Look for the locations in” (“The same part” or “The whole Quran”), the level and the number of questions. Step 1: “How many times is this duplicate repeated?” (4 numbers offered, immediate correction, with the number of verses). Step 2: at “Checklist” level, tick all the correct verses in a list mixing correct verses and look-alike verses (the text can be hidden or shown); at “Expert” level, choose the surah and verse of each location yourself. “Check my answer” marks each verse: “Found”, “Missed”, “Wrong”. Then come the full text of the correct verses with the duplicate in colour, their translation, listening to all these verses, “View the duplicate” and “Compare the first 2 verses”. With a short surah such as Al-Fatiha, choose 1 or 2 words, or “The whole Quran” to learn where its duplicates come back elsewhere.

Back buttons: “View the duplicate”, “Compare these verses” or “Recitation and tafsir — Verse 1 / Verse 2” open another page with a button saying where you came from: “Back to the quiz”, “Back to the locations quiz”, “Back to the duplicate of the day”, “Back to the comparison”… The quiz resumes exactly where it was: same question, same answer, same progress.

“Recitation and tafsir”: the reciter is chosen from a full list that opens with one click; typing a few letters filters the list (ignoring vowel marks) and a click selects the name. With “Limit listening to a range”, only reciters with “verse tracking” are offered, because only they can start and stop at the chosen verse; if the current reciter does not have it, another one is chosen with a message. “Resume” (استئناف) restarts the last listening at the saved position. “Listen to this verse” now plays this verse only.

From “Compare 2 verses”, “Recitation and tafsir — Verse 1” opens that verse only: the “Listen to this verse, then its translation” button plays it once, then its translation, and the text shows only this verse (“Show the whole surah” for the rest).

“Tafsir videos”: the videos explaining the chosen verse (those devoted to this verse alone first, then small groups of verses), from 6 series: خلاصة التفسير (Hassan Al-Husseini), التفسير المختصر الشامل (Zaid Al-Bahri), تفسير السعدي and التفسير الميسر (read and heard), خواطر الشعراوي, Imad Al-Zuqaili. “Watch here” plays the video on the page; “Open on YouTube” opens it separately. The search by scholar remains under “Look for other videos on YouTube”.

“Words and roots”: the verses containing a root can be shown as “Full text of the verses”, “Surah name and verse” or “Numbers only”; a click on a verse opens it. When listening to all occurrences, all the displayed occurrences are played by default; the “Only the part I have learned” box limits them to your part. The top menu now has “Study tools”; the “General index” is in the footer.

Verse listening, roots, ranges and quiz

Listening to a verse: “Listen to this verse” starts the recitation; the verse being recited then shows its own “Pause” (or “Play” to resume) and “Stop” buttons, in the text list, in the “Tafsir” tab and for the single verse. On a phone, these are round buttons with an icon (▶ play, ⏸ pause, ■ stop), on the line of the verse number.

“Words and roots”: the root is shown in separate letters, then joined (for example “ن ز ل - نزل”). In “Full text of the verses”, the words of the root are coloured. Clicking a verse in the list opens it without going back to the top of the page: the page moves to the new verse, and the word with the same root is already chosen.

Ranges (4 menus: starting surah and verse, ending surah and verse): the end cannot be before the start. If you move the start after the end, the end moves by itself to the last verse of the starting surah, with a message. Ending surahs placed before the starting surah are greyed out, and an ending verse typed before the start shows an alert that gives the minimum.

“Continuous listening”: the “Limit listening to a range” box is now framed and easy to see; it is presented in the guided tour. “متشابهات quiz”: at least 5 answers are offered, for “Where is this verse?” as well as for “What comes next?” (as far as the chosen part allows). “Compare 2 verses”: the duplicate is written larger and in colour, and the 2 menus “… — Among the verses of this duplicate” stand out in colour.

Button bars, guided tours, keyboard and printing

Button bars (top menu on phones, volumes, table tools, a duplicate’s group): when buttons are hidden, the edge of the bar fades on that side. When the page opens, then every minute, the bar slides a little to show what follows and comes back, until you have scrolled it yourself once. After 1 minute without use, each bar returns to its start. On a computer, the mouse wheel scrolls the bar when the pointer is over it; on a Mac, a thin marker under the bar shows the part displayed.

On computers and tablets, the header shows all its links and buttons in every language: they move to a second line instead of being hidden.

Guided tours: the explanation fits in a small window at the bottom or top of the screen, with “Previous” and “Next” always visible; long text scrolls inside the window, and × closes it. The element being presented is placed above or below the window, never hidden by it.

Arabic keyboard: all the keys, “Space” and “Delete” are shown in full, with no scrolling area inside; when it opens, the keyboard is brought into view. The print button now shows a printer and the word “Print”. In search results, the letters of a word stay joined even when part of the word is coloured (for example “بالله”).

“Recitation and tafsir”: the reciter offered at the start is علي بن عبد الرحمن الحذيفي (a choice you already made is kept). The titles “مقطع التلاوة” and “الجزء الذي حفظته” give the name of the surah without its number. Surah menus in Arabic are readable on a Mac.

Recitation and tafsir: the dashboard and its pages

Dashboard: each tile opens its own page (Read, Listen, Memorise, Quiz, Translation, Tafsir, Word meanings, Settings); below are the duplicate tools (duplicate of the day, locations quiz, compare 2 verses, statistics, favourites) and the tafsir videos. The “Continue” cards reopen the last verse read or the last listening. On every page, the “Dashboard” button, or the phone’s Back button, returns to the dashboard. The address of each page can be kept or shared.

Read: the top bar stays visible; the surah name opens the list of the 114 surahs (search by name or number, Meccan or Medinan surah, number of verses). The translation is hidden at first: the “Show translation” button places it under each verse, and “Hide translation” removes it. Tap a verse: a panel opens at the bottom of the screen with “Listen to this verse”, “Listen from here” (to the end of the surah), “Share the link”, and access to its translation, tafsir and word meanings. While listening, the recited verse is highlighted and stays visible between the top bar and the bottom player, even when it is longer than the screen (for example 2:282); with 12 reciters, the recited word is highlighted too.

Listen and Memorise: choose the reciter and the range (and, to memorise, how many times each verse is repeated, the cycles and what follows each verse), then press the large “Play” button. While listening or paused, a small player stays at the bottom of every page: previous verse, play or pause, next verse, stop, and “Show the text”.

Translation, Tafsir, Word meanings, Videos: the surah and verse are chosen at the top of the page (surah name, arrows and verse menu). Settings: translation shown or not at first, size of the Arabic text (5 sizes), following the recitation, chosen translation and tafsir; these settings stay in this browser.

Quiz: during a series of questions, the quiz fills the whole screen; progress and score are at the top, “Next question” and “Stop” at the bottom, and × also stops the quiz. The result of the series is then shown on the page.

Reading in the mushaf, notes and favourites

Read: at the top, the surah name then three menus — verse, page (1 to 604) and juz (1 to 30). “Mushaf pages” shows the real pages of the Hafs mushaf, 15 lines each (pages 1 and 2 are centred, as in the printed mushaf), with the surah, juz, hizb and page number. Swipe left or right, or use the “Previous page” and “Next page” buttons. “Continuous text” keeps the former layout with the translation to show or hide.

Tap a word: a panel gives its meaning (“Meaning” tab) and morphology (“Morphology” tab), with “Note” to write a remark on that word and “All word details”. Long-press a verse (more than one second) or tap its number: the verse menu opens, with the verse scrolling at the top, and Listen, From here, Share, Note, Bookmark and Word meanings, then coloured tiles for the translation and each tafsir, and the main menu. After a tafsir, a translation or the word meanings, the “Back to the verse” button returns to the same verse on the same page.

The “Translation or tafsir after each verse” switch: when on, Listen and From here read, after each verse, its translation or التفسير الميسر, then continue from page to page up to the end of the Quran. In “Listen”, the “After each verse” choice recites the surah or range verse by verse with that reading. The device voice can read in French, English or Spanish.

Favourites and notes (Duplicate study page, Favourites tab): duplicate groups, bookmarked verses and notes on words and verses, with Edit and Delete. Exports: Word, Excel, CSV, and a backup to restore on another device. “My documents” keeps any type of file (up to 50 MB each) on this device only. In the table, the star next to a duplicate adds it to favourites, and the double arrow opens “Compare 2 verses” on that group, with a button back to the table.

Quiz: a third type, “What comes before?”, shows the duplicate and the rest of the verse and asks for the words before it. The results of the locations quiz clearly separate correct answers, wrong answers and missed locations, always with the surah name. The day / night button is also at the top of full-screen quizzes. On phones, the top bar shows the logo and site name on the first line and the menu on the second.

Full-screen reading, marked verses and settings

The “Reading” button (with the open-book icon), between “Home” and “Introduction”, opens the recitation dashboard. In mushaf pages, tap the surah name at the top of the frame to choose a surah (then its verse), the juz at the top to choose a juz, and the page number at the bottom to choose a page. Each number can be typed on the keyboard or chosen in the grid. On phones, the page fills the screen: the page arrows and the “options” button (display mode, translation or tafsir switch) are at the bottom of the frame; swiping also turns the pages.

Marking a verse: long-press the verse, then “Mark”. Marked verses appear in the “My marked verses” card of the dashboard; tap one to return to that verse in the mushaf. They are also in “Duplicate study” › “Favourites and notes”. When the “Translation or tafsir after each verse” switch is on, a menu right next to it lets you choose the translation or التفسير الميسر.

Settings › Digits: “0 1 2 3” (default) or “0 1 2 3” (Indian digits) for every digit on the site. Page explanations are now behind the (i) icon: tap it to read them. In “Compare 2 verses”, each verse is chosen on a single line (surah and number); from a duplicate, choosing other verses opens with the “Choose 2 other verses” button.

Book icons, swiping and bookmarks

Choosing a verse: in mushaf pages, tap the book icon at the top of the page (between the juz and the surah name), then type the number or choose it in the grid; choosing through the surah name is still possible. The book icon at the bottom of the page (next to the “options” button) opens the index: “Pages” tab (juz and surah of each page), “Surahs” or “Juz”; tap a row to open the page.

Turning the page: swipe the page right or left; a short, quick gesture is enough. The arrows at the bottom of the frame also turn the page. Bookmarks: in the dashboard, the small “Remove all bookmarks” button, on the line of the “My marked verses” title, removes every bookmark after confirmation; written notes are kept.

Arabic keyboard: the keys of every tab (letters, diacritics, Quranic signs, variants) are wider and taller, easy to tap on phones. In the table, the star (favourite) and ⇄ (Compare 2 verses) are placed at the end of the duplicate cell, apart from the link.

Recitation: each page keeps its own settings. The reciter of the Read page is chosen in the verse window (or in the reading options); it does not change the one of the Memorise page. Likewise, “translation or tafsir” on the Read page, “after each verse” on the Listen page and the one on the Memorise page are independent: turning one off no longer lets another one read. With the screen off, the recitation goes on (pause between verses included); the device voice, which the phone stops when the screen is off, is then skipped: choose a recorded translation or the tafsir to hear them with the screen off.

Continuous reading, downloads and page look

Read page: "Listen from here" now plays the surah recitation as it was recorded, with no stop added between two verses; the current verse stays highlighted and, for reciters timed word by word, the recited word stays underlined. Playback continues with the screen off. With a reading after each verse (translation or tafsir), playback goes verse by verse, as before.

Settings: "Keep the screen on" stops the screen from turning off while the site is open (off by default). "Look of the Quran page" offers 5 styles (colours, font, background, frame). "Download recitations" keeps on the device one surah, several surahs (check boxes) or the whole Quran ("Download all"), for one or several reciters; each surah shows its progress in %, and can be deleted.

Tafsir: the "Full screen" button opens the tafsir on the whole screen, with the current verse at the top and the bar to go to the previous or next verse and change the tafsir. In the mushaf, the juz and hizb label appears in the outer margin: on the right for an odd page, on the left for an even page. In the table, the star and ⇄ always stay on the same line as the duplicate; a greyed ⇄ means the duplicate is in a single verse.

Duplicate search and reading comfort

The “Duplicate” button beside “All segments” opens a search across all duplicates in the selected model, without a permanent extra toolbar above the table. Enter an Arabic letter, word, passage fragment or full duplicate. Comparison ignores diacritics without changing displayed text. Single letters precede single words, followed by passages in increasing word count; shorter texts come first when word counts match, with 50 results per page when needed.

Select a result to open its duplicate group, just as when clicking the Duplicate column. The two models remain separate. For a hidden group, explicitly select “Restore this group” before opening it. A red message indicates no matching duplicate in this model, not that the text is absent from the Quran. This fragment search does not change the method used to form groups, which favours the longest repeated segment.

“Arabic keyboard” shows or hides the keyboard inside the panel. The “Duplicate” panel and its keyboard no longer close after an inactivity timeout: take your time choosing letters. Use the cross, close button, Escape or an outside click. Closing on an outside click or loss of browser-window focus keeps the search for the next opening and does not change the table page or reading position. “Clear search” clears only this field. “Close and return to table” preserves the original view; after opening a duplicate group, “Back to table” restores the page and reading position. Escape closes the keyboard first when open, then the panel. Arrow Down from the field moves to the results.

When accounts are available, the header shows “Sign in” if you are signed out. After sign-in, your username links to “My account”, and “Sign out” ends your session. Your email address is not displayed in the header. Information pages and the showcase remain accessible after sign-out; restricted access still requires an authorized session.

Hiding a group, “Restore all” and “Restore selected” preserve the current page and reading position while it still contains visible rows. Rows on other pages are not moved. Next and Previous skip fully hidden pages, so original page numbers can jump. Direct navigation to a hidden page opens the next available page, or the previous one if none remain after it, with an explanatory message. If everything is hidden, restore some groups. The top arrows stay below the table, including in fullscreen.

The matching part of each search result appears in red without changing its text or marks. The distinct “Go to page” block beside the page controls accepts a number followed by Enter or “Go”. A red message flags invalid numbers or numbers beyond the last page. Usual, Indian and Arabic digits are supported.

Guided tour, compact navigation and installation

Your first visit to the homepage offers a table introduction. The tour also starts on the first direct visit to a table. The Guided tour button beside zoom and fullscreen restarts it in each view. On small screens it appears as a question mark.

The hints follow tools available in the model and view: volumes, surah and volume filters, verse and actual-page navigation, search, columns, counters, sorting, segments, hidden groups, Duplicate search and Arabic keyboard, zoom, fullscreen, pagination and duplicate links. Next and Previous change steps; some steps ask you to operate the control yourself. Skip this step and the close button remain available. The tour never automatically applies filters, hides groups or inserts text; any actions you choose are real table actions.

The first-tour preference is stored only in this browser. It does not reset on each sign-in or website update. Clearing site data can show it again; clearing browsing history alone does not necessarily remove the setting. Another browser or unavailable local storage may also prompt again. Changing pages exits the tour; restart from the beginning using its button.

The model and volumes share a compact strip with clear separators and horizontal scrolling. On a duplicate family page, the selected text, model and Back to table button share one strip. Long passages remain complete and scroll horizontally rather than expanding to multiple lines. Return buttons for surahs, volumes and the table are prominent in light and dark modes.

Previous and Next share blue styling. First and Last use purple. Labels and disabled states remain visible, so color is not the only distinction.

Use an up-to-date browser to install the website. When installation is available, the site button opens the browser’s official prompt; acceptance does not guarantee the phone has finished installing. On iPhone, use Share and Add to Home Screen. If installation does not complete, the site remains usable in the browser. The store application shown in Applications and documents is separate from installing the Mukarrar website.

Locate the featured tool

At each tour step, the purple frame pulses 3 times, then stays steady. An arrow moves back and forth towards the tool a few times, then remains visible. These markers do not block clicks or reduce table space. If your device requests reduced motion, the frame and arrow stay still.

Applications and documents: browse and download

When the document module is enabled, published cards show files and their images. They may contain applications, documents or a folder. Official Quran Search store links remain separate from files uploaded to this site.

“Public”: no Mukarrar account is needed. “Verified account”: sign in with a username and confirmed email; “Continue” can resume the requested download. “Disabled”: downloads are denied even when signed in.
Download individual files, or use the folder button when several files are available to receive a ZIP retaining their subfolders. Macro-enabled files carry a warning: checks cannot guarantee that VBA code is completely safe.
Downloads require a network connection; offline errors never replace the file with an HTML page. Public access does not grant administration permissions.

My account: registration, sign-in and recovery

When signing up, wait for the anti-bot security check and select the checkbox if shown. If the check expires or fails, use “Restart the check”. An outage prevents account creation, not access to an existing account. Internet is required; this check does not replace email verification.

These screens appear when the account module is enabled. Use a username, an email address you can access and a unique password of at least 8 characters, including at least one uppercase letter, one digit and one special character. The same rule applies when resetting your password.

“Create an account” asks you to confirm your password. Open the message and click “Verify my email”; merely opening the link does not confirm the address. Check spam, or request another message with “Resend verification”.
Confirm your email address to complete registration, then sign in with your username or email.
If an address correction is suggested, review it and choose “Use this address” or “Keep my address”. The form never changes your address automatically. If an address error appears, check it or use another address you can access.
In “My account”, “Continue” returns to the documents or requested download. “Close other sessions” keeps the current one; “Sign out” closes it.
“Forgot password” sends a single-use link if the request is eligible. Confirm the new password; existing sessions are revoked. Missing, expired or used links require a new request. Repeated requests may be temporarily limited.

Account security and document management

Two-factor authentication is mandatory for the owner managing documents. It can also be set up from account security; knowing the password does not replace the second factor.

In “Account security”, confirm your password, scan the QR with your authenticator app or enter the manual key, then save recovery codes offline. Confirm that you saved them and enter a six-digit code to finish.
Each recovery code works once. Never share the QR, key or codes. At sign-in, use an app code or a recovery code; previously used codes cannot be replayed.
Management requires confirmation within the last ten minutes. “Renew security confirmation” opens another tab, keeping your document form open; confirm a new code, then return to the form. Renew during a long upload if necessary.

Use an email code

After setting up two-factor authentication with your authenticator app, you can choose a code sent to your account’s already verified email address when your phone is unavailable. Your password is still required to sign in. Email codes expire after 5 minutes and can be used only once; requests and attempts are limited. Protect your mailbox with its own two-factor authentication and keep backup codes safely offline.

Contacting Mukarrar

On Contact, “Write an email” opens your email application to write to contact@mukarrar.com. “Copy address” lets you use it in your webmail; you can also select the field and copy the address manually.

Include the page, language, browser and steps relevant to your request. Do not include passwords or security codes. Send the message yourself from your email service: clicking the website button does not send it.

Guide to colours and results in the table

This table aims to present words or segments repeated in the Qur'an, indicating their locations, the number of times they occur, and the search results within verses and surahs. Colours and numerical results have been used to make reading easier and to distinguish between the different types of match.

The reader should note that the displayed results are not limited to the apparent repetition of the word or segment alone, but also show the difference between an exact, isolated match and a match that may appear inside a longer word or linked to other letters or terms.

First: the red text within the verses

In the column “The Qur'an according to the orthographic script (conjunction waw separated)”, the searched-for part appears in red within the verse.

The red text marks the repeated word or segment being searched for, i.e. the same term shown in the “Duplicate” column.

Thus, when the repeated word appears in red within the verse text, it means that this location does contain the searched-for term, whether as an exact, isolated match or as a match embedded in a broader linguistic structure, depending on the type of result shown in the other columns.

Second: the text colour in the “Duplicate” column

In the “Duplicate” column, the text colour indicates the number of times the repeated word or segment appears within a single surah:

Green text: the repeated word or segment appears twice or more within the same surah.
Black text: the repeated word or segment appears only once in that surah.

This distinction helps the reader know whether the repetition is specific to a single verse or spread over several locations within the same surah.

Third: the “Match result within the verse” column

The “Match result within the verse” column shows the number of exact, isolated matches of the searched word or segment within a single verse. An exact, isolated match means that the searched text corresponds one hundred percent to the text found, and that it appears as an autonomous unit, without being linked to other letters or words, and without being part of a longer word.

If a number appears on a yellow background in this column, it means that the repeated word appears twice or more within the same verse; this number precisely indicates the number of exact, isolated repetitions at that location.

Fourth: the “Result of exact and broader matches within the verse” column

This column shows a broader range of results, since it includes:

Exact, isolated matches.
Matches that are part of a longer word.
Matches linked to other letters or terms.
Locations where the searched text appears within a broader written structure.

This is why it is normal for the number in this column to be equal to or greater than the number in the “Match result within the verse” column. This difference signals no error: it simply reflects a different search method and scope.

Fifth: the meaning of the pink background and the red number

When a cell appears with a pink background and a number written in red, this indicates a difference between the results of the two columns “Match result within the verse” and “Result of exact and broader matches within the verse”.

This difference means that the searched text was found at one or more locations inside a longer word or linked text, and therefore appears in the broader search result without necessarily appearing in the exact, isolated match result.

This result is normal and intentional, as it distinguishes the standalone word from the word that occurs as part of a larger word or structure.

Example: the word “⁧يعلم⁩” (ya'lam)

When searching for the word “⁧يعلم⁩” in Allah's statement: ⁧﴿أَوَلَا يَعۡلَمُونَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَعۡلَمُ مَا يُسِرُّونَ وَمَا يُعۡلِنُونَ 77﴾⁩ [Al-Baqara, 77]

the “Match result within the verse” column gives a single result, since it finds the isolated word “⁧يَعْلَمُ⁩”.

whereas the “Result of exact and broader matches within the verse” column gives two results, since it finds “⁧يَعْلَمُ⁩” as well as the same letters inside the word “⁧يَعْلَمُونَ⁩”.

The word “⁧يعلم⁩” is thus found inside the word “⁧يعلمون⁩”, even though “⁧يعلمون⁩” is not an exact, isolated match for the word “⁧يعلم⁩”. This explains the difference between the two results.

Sixth: the overall results

The “Overall result of exact matches only” column shows the total number of exact, isolated matches of the repeated word across all the surahs of the Qur'an.

The number in this column appears in blue, and represents the sum of the locations where the word appeared as an exact, isolated match.

The “Overall result of exact and broader matches” column, meanwhile, shows the sum of the broader results, and includes:

Exact, isolated matches.
Matches found inside longer words.
Matches linked to other letters or parts of the text.

This is why the overall figure in this column may be equal to or greater than that of the “Overall result of exact matches only” column.

Seventh: the “Verses” and “Surahs” columns

Two columns also indicate the extent to which the repeated word is spread across the Qur'an:

“Verses” column: indicates the total number of verses in which the searched word or segment was found.
“Surahs” column: indicates the total number of surahs in which the searched word or segment appeared.

The word may indeed be repeated several times within a single verse, appear in several verses of the same surah, or be spread across many surahs. This is why the number of matches, the number of verses and the number of surahs are presented separately, so that the reading is more precise and clearer.

Methodological note

When reading the results, two notions should be distinguished: the exact, isolated match, which denotes the searched term exactly as it is, without being linked to another word or embedded in a larger word;

and the broader match, which includes the isolated term, but also includes its occurrence inside other words or structures.

This distinction is deliberate in the construction of the table, as it allows the reader and the researcher to consider the results from two different angles: that of the precise match, and that of the broader search within the Qur'anic text.

Technical note: the site's interface uses precise colour shades (such as dark green or dark blue) to display these results clearly on screen, and also adds light colours to the headers of certain columns to make visual distinction easier; this is an additional interface styling that changes nothing in the rules and meanings described above.
