Installing OpenQuran |
|
Including new Translation |
In Open Quran we can easily include any translation we like. The translated file has to be a txt-file and every Verse in it must be on 1 line (Not separated to many lines). Be sure that txt file has to be converted first to UTF-8 (universal code)
If your txt file doesn't have the right formatting, do as follow
- Select all text (Ctrl+A)
- Cut text to Clipboard (Ctrl+X)
- Change the Unicode of the text file (depends on your text editor) to UTF-8
- paste Text (Ctrl+V) again and save
Now the txt-file is ready to include in the database of Open Quran. To include the txt-file if our new translation, we do as follow:
- Start OpenQuran
- Click on the Menu " Tools" and choose "Text To Data"
- Now we need the txt file which has our Quran version. If you did not download any txt file, you can do that by visiting our site, where you can find some of them.
- In the Options Window we want to tell the program whether Sura 9 of our quran version or translation consists of 127 or 129 Verses. (Does Sura 9 have 127 or 129 Verses?)
(usually open quran is delivered with 127 verses for sura 9. But you can delete and include your arabic version with 129 verses)- If your txt file has Sura and Verse Numbers, than check this box: (My text file has already sura and verse numbers like this example). Sura and Verse numbers must be written in the right manner as the Example show
- (Language) is the Language used in the text file
- (Publisher) The name of the translator or author of this script
- (Comment) For now you don’t need to change
- (Sort) This tells how the program should sort the translations. A Number will be automatically generated. You can change now or later in the options of OpenQuran
- (Text Direction) For text files which written in arabic or hebrew similar languages Choose between (right to left) or (left to right)
- After including the text file you can see how the verses are sorted. If everything went OK, just click the Button underneath (Save Access file) The new txt file is included and can be seen and used after restarting OpenQuran (v. 1.9.4 no need to restart)
Hint: Never include the same txt-file 2 times. First delete the older one from the options, than include again
|
Show selected Sura |
image 1
Double clicking a Sura name will show you the whole Sura. But you can select more than one sura by holding the Ctrl-key down and choosing with mouse the suras you like to see. After selecting the Suras click on the left Mouse key and choose (Show selected) .

There are also many selection variations:
- "Initialed" (all Suras which begins with initials),
- "Uninitialed" (Suras which have no initials),
- "Selection Table" (Save own selection: see image2)

- "Chronological" and
- "Alphabetically" or
- "ABGD" (Old arabic order of Alphabets)
In this version of Openquran we've included only the arabic names of the Suras. If you would like to change the Suras names to your own native language or any other language, do as follow:
Hint: Before changing the names of the suras, make a copy of the file (suranames.xml) in case you did anything wrong

Search selected (Alt+F): any selected word or phrase in the browser can be send to search box
Search Expressions: Opens the Expressions windows and search within
Show selected Sura (Ctrl+Alt+Space): selecting any verse number from the browser and clicking this option will navigate directly to chosen Sura. Selecting 2 numbers with double point in between (e.g. 1:1) will show the chosen verse.
Sort Verse numbers: This option shows only verse numbers from displayed verses (such as search results) in case we would like to share only the numbers of verses with some one else. It shows also the count of "even" and "odd" verse numbers.
Sort only text: Browser content will be cleared from all formatting, if we need only the text.
Write comments (Alt+C): selecting a verse numbers (e.g. 1:1) and choosing write comments will lead directly to the "comments Editor" to write comments to the chosen verse
If you select the verse text und choose "Gematrical Value", OQ will calculate the value of every letter and give the sum of the whole verse/s. If you did not select a text, this will prompt a popup window letting you type your own text (Only for arabic language).

14GV Results
The (P) beside the number in the results means itis a prime number.
Also if result is divisible to 19, this will be shown.
To change the divisible number, click on the "status bar" and type your number.ABGD - Tool
There is another way to calculate single letters and sort the values beside each others by using the ABGD-Tool, which we can find in the upper menu (View => ABGD).
Here we can choose one of the 3 kinds of values (GV, SV, PV). The result can although be sent to the calculator when we click the "Calc" Button!
Send to external Program
Uppon every verse number appears a small menu which has 4 functions:
Roots Connection
Roots are usefull in case we want to find all combinations of our choosen word. To use this function, we select a quranic word (only one word) from any verse and with right mouse click we choose (Root) or press (Ctrl+R).
To modify the Roots we choose from the upper menu (Tools => Roots connection)
Here we can make changes to our roots list, add a new root, write our own description etc...
|
Writing Comments |
Now double click on the sura name in which you included the comment. If the table of comments is checked (translations tab), you'll see what you wrote under the chosen Verse of Quran
To use the "HTML formatting menu" in the "Comments Editor", select the text and right click to change color, font, style etc....
|
Using Nav |
The Nav Box has a special task in OpenQuran. One can handle 2 different kind of code in it:
The Nav Code
If you are looking for few Verses which you like to keep to your Document, (NAV) will do you this service besides you can add some comments to the chosen verses. The following Example will show you 3 different verses with your own comment:
Copy the following line into the NAV Box:
(The Phrase "Besm Allah" occurs 3 times in the Quran) 1:1 11:41 27:30
Underneath the Text box choose (File) => (Run Code) or press (Alt+Space) to run the code. In the Browser you'll see the comment and the 3 verses which you choose.
- To write Comments use easily parenthesis ( )
- For a whole sura, you need only the Number of it. (I'm showing you Sura number 1) 1
- By a specified Verse, sura and verse number must be separated with double points 1:1
- By specifying a range of verses in a sura, use hyphen as shown 1:1-3 (This will show sura 1 verse 1 to 3)
OpenQuran can also handel *.oq files which can be written with any Text-Editor such as Notepad.
Save your file (e.g. myfile.oq) and open it (or drop it on OpenQuran.exe). OpenQuran will start in this case and run the file in NAV Tab by it self.Hint: You are allowed to use only such signs in your comments ( - , ; : . " ' and HTML Tags for formatting your comments )
Ban Comments = View only the verses without the comments
The OQ Code and the Navigation window
With the oqCode we can automate almost every command in OpenQuran. To start and run oq code wen need at the begriming to know some commands and the right syntax. For this purpose the OpenQuran team developed a special Editor with a list of all commands in use and a syntax highlight function.
To start the Navigation window type the following code in your Nav Box and run the code by pressing (Alt+Space)
For more details about oq code and the Editor see section OQ Editor in this Tutorial.

Translations Tab |
The "Translation Tab" of Open Quran shows all translation tables, which are installed in your database.
We need to select at least one of them to browse the information we require.Right click menu:
|
Search box Right Click |
To search for any letter, word or phrase, choose first from the "pull down" menu in which table to search in.
Search (Return): searching for letter, word or phrase in the search box
Match Whole Word: Select this Checkbox in case you're looking for a phrase, else OQ will search for every word in this phrase alone
Case Sensitive: Search for the same letter/word/phrase
Whole Quran: will search in the whole quranic text
Only in selected Sura: Select one or many Suras from the Suras Names (Down left) to search only in them
Within Browser Content: It allows user to search many times in the same browsed text
Right Click on the search box
Analyze (Alt+Space): The result of search will show only calculated numbers of Entries, Suras, Verses, count of letters etc....
search unique: count(); function allows user to find letters, words or phrases with a specified repetition in every verse.
( S means searched letter/word/phrase)
( = means equal to the specified number)
( < smaller than specified number)
( > bigger than specified number).
Examples:
count(S=2); // Verse must have 2 such letters or Words count(ح=1); // search for all verses that have 1 letter ح count(ن[و]*ن=2); // search for نن or نون that appears only 2 times in every verse count(S<2); // Verse must have smaller than 2 such letters or words count(ن<4); // search for verses which have at least 1 ن and not more than 3 ن letters count(S>2); // Verse must have bigger than 2 such letters or words count(ن>2); // search for verses which have 3 ن and more cutSpace(يس); // OQ will cut spaces from verses before searching gv(l=10); // find (L)etters which have the gematrical value of 10 gv(w=19); // find (W)ords which have the gematrical value of 19 gv(v=228); // find (V)erses which have the gematrical value of 228 noneOf(ص); // find verses which have no such letter/word/phrase needAll(a,b,c); // verses must have all letters/words which seperated through comma
Hint: The first example shows us, that the use of "Regular Expression" in the count(); function is allowed under the condition that the 3 symbols = < > don't be used.Clear Search (Ctrl+del): deleting content of the search box
Select all, Copy, Cut and Paste are added to the search box
RTL (RightToLeft Search box direction)
Search result colorize function (changing the color of search results)
The new method of OpenQuran allows although searching for Numbers of verses. There are 2 ways to to look for a specified number:
- by typing the number with or without double points in between: 2:7
- or by using "Regular Expressions" numbers methods such as: \d+:3[ ] (This will browse every third verse from every sura)
Search Results are set in the status bar which shows beside founded Entries although the amount of Verses
Expressions
If you press (Ctrl+E or RightClick=>Expressions) a window will appear, which contains some expressions that can be useful by searching.
We can "send" each of these expressions to the searchbox of Openquran (Ctrl+Enter),
"send and search" (double click or Enter) or
"send and analyze" (Shift+Enter).
There is also a small box in the upper window to write/search in the expressions list.
All expressions listed here are saved in a xml file: "C:\My Documents(or User)\User name\openquran\xml\expressions.xml". But we also choose another xml file for our expressions by double clicking on the file adresse in the upper right side of the expressions window and choose another expression file.Users of OpenQuran can edit or modify this listBox in 2 different ways:
1. by opening the expressions.xml. All we have to do is to add one more Tag like this one:
<sura exp="Your Expression " meaning="Explanation for this expression-.... " />
between <quran> ... and ... </quran>
Save the file and restart Openquran to see/use the new expression.
2. Click on the upper Menu Tools=>Options and choose the Expressions Tab. Go to the end of Rows, double click the row and add (paste / write) your search expression (search Phrase) and beside we write the expression declaration (Meaning).
Save the list (No need to restart OpenQuran)
AutoComplete
Most of the entries done in the searchbox will be saved automatically to a combobox which appears under the searchbox by pressing (F9 or RightClick=>AutoComplete)
|
Using Calc |
With version 1.9.8 of OpenQuran we included a new Tab for large numbers Calculations (Calc).
We can directly select search results from the Browser and send them to "Calc" by right clicking the mouse on the selected verses.
Right Mouse Click on the Calc Tab opens the options menu, where we can choose whether we need to calculate
|
Hijri /Gregorian Calendar |
The calendar shows only the gregorian date. At the bottom there is also hijri date and an image of the moon periods.
In version 1.9.9 of OpenQuran we included a Multi Time Organizer (MTO), which plays a specified sound when the given date and time are reached.
To include your own dates click on the upper menu (Tools => Options => Timer)
To write own dates, double click on the left sided Text Box to make it editable. After writing your dates double click again to save.
Adding a new date must be sorted in the right sequencing like the next example:23.11,17:03;
23.11,17:04;
24.11,05:05;Typing a single number time or date has to begin with 0 like (05:05) and not as (5:5)
For daily use of always same times, type 00.00 for the date:
00.00,07:00;
00.00,12:30;
00.00,17:55;Here you can also change the sound of the alarm or de- activate the Timer.

NEW FOR OPENQURAN A compact and easy interpretation written by a group of experts in 2009 relying on the book 1. A good interpretation of what was known to all during the first generation. 2. Brings only the likely interpretation and what is supposed to be correct. 3. Highlights Qur´anic interpretation for guidance and objectives of Islamic law. 4. Provides short and easy phrases and indicates the meaning of difficult words which can fit in a footnote in a Quran print. 5. Explains only the actual Verse and leaves extra information to be said in its proper place, avoiding unnecessary prolongation. 6. Avoids the mention of much unnecessary information for the interpretation of the Verse like the chains of readings (Alqira´at) and grammar. 7. The style is especially chosen to simplify the job for eventual translators into other languages and avoid mentioning terms that can not be translated. 8. Interprets every verse alone, the repetition of the Quranic text is also avoided unless necessary.

after changing to windows 7, openQuran needs always a permission to start. If this is getting on the nerves of somebody, here is a way how to change it so that openquran starts without permission: 1.Open up Task Scheduler by simply clicking Start and typing task, you see on the top of the list "task Scheduler" you clck it. 2.click on the menu "Action" and then "Create Task…" 3.give the task a short simple name, preferably with no spaces in it. Then look beneath and check the box for "Run with highest privileges" 4.stay in the same window and switch to the "Actions" tab, and click the "New" button, and then browse down to the application that you want to start without permission. 5.close out the dialogs by clicking the OK button, this creates the new task in the list. while you are here you can test the task by right-clicking on it and choose "Run", simply to make sure that it launches the application the way you were expecting. Close everything. 6.on the desktop, create a Shortcut to Start the Task by Right-clicking anywhere on the desktop and choosing "New" shortcut from the menu. a dialog box opens 7.in the area where it says "type the location of the item", write the following command that will run the scheduled task and use the name of the task you chosed, in my case the name of the task was (openquran), so the command is: schtasks /run /tn openquran 8.that is it, you should have now a shortcut that will launch the application in administrator mode. 9.Now you adjust the following points if you want 1)open up the properties for the shortcut, and change the Run drop-down to "Minimized" (to hide the schtasks command line utility), 2)then click on "Change Icon" and simply browse down to the application that you are opening with the shortcut and you should see the icons for the application itself, chose it. FINITO! Reply to bouqdib |
