No Arabic keyboard? Click ⌨️ above to open a clickable Buckwalter-labelled
keyboard — each key inserts the matching Arabic letter or mark into the box.

Arabic keyboard (or 🎤 voice) — type without short-vowel marks
(e.g. ملك, not مَلِك); results sharing
those exact letters collapse together and each shows its Buckwalter code so you can tell short
vowels apart (a=fatha َ, i=kasra ِ,
u=damma ُ, o=sukun ْ,
~=shadda ّ). This only merges short-vowel variants —
ا / و / ي are real letters, so قال, قول
and قيل stay separate; if you're unsure which long vowel a word
uses, open any one match and use its root-link to browse every word under that root instead.
·
English keyboard — type the exact Buckwalter code shown under a result
(case matters: A=ا but a=fatha,
S=ص but s=س).
·
You don't need to know a word's dictionary form — type whatever spelling you actually see
in a verse (e.g. يدعو, not its citation form
دعا); a result matched this way is marked
via <the form you typed>.

Grammatical Role
🔎 Combine with a grammar category
Example: with لَا selected above, check Adjacent,
then pick فعل to find لَا يَشْعُرُونَ and every other
"لا immediately followed by a verb" case (Adjacent only matches the word that comes
right after the lemma, never the one before it). Leave Adjacent
unchecked to just require both somewhere in the same verse. The dropdown itself only ever lists
categories that actually occur that way for the current lemma — it's rebuilt (and shrinks or
grows) whenever you toggle Adjacent or change scope below.
·
A lemma can fuse with what follows into different spellings (e.g. من → مِمَّا، مِمَّنْ) — by default
this searches every spelling of the lemma; click the 🔎+ button on one
specific word-form node in the occurrence tree below to narrow the search to just that spelling.

Boolean Expression
Type a word above and click a result to add it as a chip, then combine chips with
AND (same verse), OR (either verse), NOT (exclude), or
NEAR (adjacent word order — only works directly between two single-word chips).
Example: pick a word, add AND, then add a preposition like عَلَىٰ or
مِن to find verses where both occur together.
About Lemma Search (البحث بالكلمة)
A lemma is the dictionary form of one word: one root can produce many. Root ق و م, for example, gives 22 lemmas, including
"to stand", "people" and "resurrection". Type a word as it appears in a verse, even an inflected form such as يدعو, and the tool
finds its lemma and shows every inflection and verse. Combine mode joins words with AND, OR, NOT and NEAR (next to each other), and a
word can be combined with a grammar category, for example لا immediately followed by a verb.
The Quran has 4,832 lemmas in this data. No Arabic keyboard is needed: use the ⌨️ on-screen keyboard.
