quRan

An R package for the full text of the Qur'an

This package contains the complete text of the Qur'an in Arabic (with and without vowels) and in English (the Yusuf Ali and Saheeh International translations).

The text for each volume or translation was sourced from Tanzil and Al Quran Cloud.

Each volume is in a data frame with a row for each ayah, along with 18 columns of detailed metadata (including ayah number, surah number, surah name in Arabic and English, juz', hizb, and so on), ready for text analysis.

The package contains:

• quran_ar: The Qur'an in Arabic (with vowels)
• quran_ar_min: The Qur'an in Arabic (without vowels)
• quran_en_yusufali: The Yusuf Ali English translation of the Qur'an
• quran_en_sahih: The Saheeh International English translation of the Qur'an

Surah titles in Arabic, transliterated English, and translated English are all factors to preserve the correct order.

Installation

To install the current stable version of the package, type the following:

install.packages("quRan")
library(quRan)

Alternatively, you can install the development version from Github:

library(remotes)
install_github("andrewheiss/quRan")
library(quRan)

Usage

For some ideas on getting started with analyzing these texts, see Text Mining with R by Julia Silge and David Robinson, or Julia Silge's blog post on sentiment analysis of Jane Austen's novels. For help within R, try ?quran_ar or similar for getting started with the datasets.

Here's how to do some basic data manipulation with the data:

library(dplyr)
library(quRan)

quran_ar %>% 
  group_by(surah_title_en) %>% 
  summarize(total_ayat = n())
#> # A tibble: 114 x 2
#>    surah_title_en total_ayat
#>    <fct>               <int>
#>  1 Al-Faatiha              7
#>  2 Al-Baqara             286
#>  3 Aal-i-Imraan          200
#>  4 An-Nisaa              176
#>  5 Al-Maaida             120
#>  6 Al-An'aam             165
#>  7 Al-A'raaf             206
#>  8 Al-Anfaal              75
#>  9 At-Tawba              129
#> 10 Yunus                 109
#> # ... with 104 more rows

quran_ar %>% 
  filter(surah_title_en == "Al-Faatiha") %>% 
  select(surah, ayah, text)
#> # A tibble: 7 x 3
#>   surah  ayah text                                                
#>   <int> <int> <chr>                                               
#> 1     1     1 بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ                              
#> 2     1     2 الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

#> 6     1     6 اهْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ                               
#> 7     1     7 صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا الضَّالِّينَ
