About the Dictionary

مُعْجَمُ أفعالِ القُرآن

A companion to the printed work

This is the web edition of A Dictionary of Quranic Verbs: Their Prepositions and Associated Nouns — a trilingual dictionary of Quranic vocabulary compiled by Late Syed Moinuddin and Dr Abdul Moiz. It exists to make the printed book searchable and linkable without changing a word of it: the web app is read-only over the book’s verified dataset.

The corpus

The content is drawn from a corpus-verified dataset of 2,708 entries across 21 completed chapters (Hamzah → Qāf), growing towards all 28 chapters of the Arabic alphabet. Every entry carries a fully vowelled headword, its triliteral root, its morphological form, verb transitivity and governed-preposition metadata, meanings in three languages, and a verified Quranic shāhid (witness) with reference.

Who it is for

  • Students of Quranic Arabic

    Urdu- and English-speaking learners who need root-organised vocabulary with the grammatical form stated, not bare glosses.

  • Teachers and scholars

    Those using the printed book who want a searchable, linkable companion that corresponds to it conceptually, page for page.

  • General readers

    Anyone looking up a word they met in recitation.

The integrity standard

The web edition inherits the book project’s non-negotiable rules. They are the reason to trust what you read here.

Zero fabrication

No meaning, form or reference is ever invented to fill a gap. Bad data fails loudly; it is never patched silently.

Verified citations

No ayah is typed from memory. Every Quranic quotation is extracted programmatically from a verified corpus and checked against the Uthmani text.

Counts stated separately

Verbs and nouns are always tallied and shown separately, never merged into a single figure.

Editorial additions flagged

Where Urdu was supplied editorially rather than transcribed from the manuscript, it is visibly marked — a flag, not a footnote.

Quranic citations are verified against the Uthmani text. Data corrections are made in the book’s editorial pipeline — the single source of truth — never in this web edition.
