Abstract

The past decade has witnessed an explosion in the generation of Arabic textual data, written in both modern standard Arabic (MSA) and in dialectal formats. Observing existing data reveals that verses from the Holy Quran are often quoted whether someone is giving a speech, conveying condolences, going through a hardship, and when expressing hope or joy among other emotions. Many applications can benefit from the automatic detection of those verses yet detecting Quranic Verses in text is not as easy as it may initially seem. This paper lists the challenges posed by this task, and proceeds to present an intelligent matching algorithm that addresses those. The paper also briefly describes a tool that has implemented the proposed algorithm, and which is currently publicly available as an open-source tool.
