		<description>Agreed!

What mistakes have you found? Did you participate in offering corrections? It just takes a click :)

&lt;strong&gt;How accurate is the grammar information in the Quranic Arabic Corpus?&lt;/strong&gt;

Corpus annotation assigns a part-of-speech tag and morphological features to each word. For example, annotation involves deciding whether a word is a noun or a verb, and if it is inflected for masculine or feminine. The first stage of the project involved automatic part-of-speech tagging by applying natural language computing technology to the text. The annotation for each of the 77,430 words in the Quran was then reviewed in stages by two annotators. It is believed that the text is now 99% accurate in terms of morphological annotation, and improvements are still ongoing to further improve accuracy.</description>

		<description>Unfortunately, I found that Qur&#039;an Corpus has a lot of inaccuracies when it comes to the grammar, so I wouldn&#039;t use it unless you were well versed in Arabic Grammar and are able to catch those mistakes... just a precaution.</description>

		<description>Assalamu alaikum,

Jazakallahu Khair for writing this informative article. Alhamdulillah, it is very helpful.

I&#039;d like to add the following online reference to your list:

http://corpus.quran.com/wordbyword.jsp

The Quranic Arabic Corpus is a great resource which includes word to word translation, Arabic grammar, syntax, and morphology for the entire Quran. It also has an easy to use search bar which allows you to easily search for the Surah and verse that you would like to study.

Also, there are additional features such as a Quran Dictionary, list of verbs that are used in the Quran, and even syntax Trees.

This would be a great resource for students that want to focus their study on the Holy Quran.</description>

		<description>AZ, did the Mu`tazilah group believe in a false prophet? The majority of muslim scholarship do not call those who follow Mu`tazilah tradition to be Kafir but rather innovators/deviants. On the other hand, Ahmadiyya group are clearly the worst type of Kufr. Did you not notice I actually recommended a book by a non-Muslim? As I said, this group is an exceptonal case.

&lt;blockquote&gt;You should watch your language
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

What is wrong with my language brother? do you think I should use nice words when discussing false prophet and his cult so as not to offend them? Do you know that within their cult they consider all Muslims kafir (you and I) unless they accept Ghulam Mirza to a prophet? - they would never come to this site for resources unless they were already having doubts about their faith! This is no ordinary group they have strong financial backing and although a small in numbers, are extremely active.

There is a time and place for kind words, but with this group or any other group that claims to be Muslim whilst believing in a false prophet and actively works to distort the message of our beloved Prophet (ra) there can be no kind words. 

I leave you with the following extract from a hadith in Sahih Bukhari (9:237):

Allah&#039;s Apostle said, &quot;The Hour will not be established (1) till two big groups fight each other whereupon there will be a great number of casualties on both sides and they will be following one and the same religious doctrine, (2) &lt;strong&gt;till about thirty Dajjals (liars) appear, and each one of them will claim that he is Allah&#039;s Apostle&lt;/strong&gt; (3) till the religious knowledge is taken away....&quot;</description>

		<description>Assalamu &#039;Alaikum,

Jazak-Allah khairan for the comprehensive review.  It makes it a lot easier for those who wish to embark on this great journey like myself but do not know where to start.

@Nafees - Our scholars today refer to Zamakshari for his grammatical analysis of the Qur&#039;an. Should we tell them not to refer to him since he was a Mutazilite? 

You should watch your language, as you would be shoo-ing someone who belongs to the Ahmadiyya group by offending them, when they actually came here for resources. That is my opinion</description>
