My work focuses on using the natural language processing techniques and tools and applying them on the Holy Quran book.  Three tools for searching the Quran for concrete as well as abstract concepts are developed and are available in the Qurany website.  The Qurany website has a tool for searching the Quran for concrete concepts, another tool for abstract concepts, and a third for both.  Concrete concepts like names of places, persons,...etc. Abstract concepts like women's financial status in Islam, main pillars of Islam, ...etc. The Qurany website has been developed using stat of the art web tools. All comments and feedback are welcome.
