Project: 'Root List'
-
Wakas,
Peace
To make this thread living, I propose that we should start studying the Roots, alphabetically, and put our thoughts and studied material here. Let us start with first Root
Root
a) Total occurrences 1
b) No of constructions 1
The only word made from this Root is http//haqeeqat.org.pk/English%20Tafsir%20e%20Haqeeqat/00.Tabweeb%20Part%202/80.%20Roots%20originating%20in%20Surat%2080/1.gif which occurs once in the Grand Qur'aan. Conjecturers made a story that the Second Caliph Syedena Umar bin Khatab, with whom Allah, the Exalted is since pleased Who has also declared his status and position as the Great till the Last Day as compared to all those who became believers after the conquest of Mecca, did not know the meanings of this word. Thereafter, this conjectural gossip keeps finding mention in the dictionaries . Ridiculousness of this conjectural gossip may be adjudged from the fact that the meanings of the word are already given and defined by the Qur'aan in the sentence.

Mr. Waqas
Peace
We could get a rough draft of about 500 roots within a year, GW.I can manage all the website stuff, all I need is participants to post the roots they look up. Once we get a rough draft, we can combine lexicons and add to the meanings if they are covered better in some etc.
if our objective is only to use Arabic dictionaries to understand Quran and not Arabic language in general than, I recomend Mr.GA.Pervaiz's Lughat ul Quran. It is in Urdu language but I am trying to translate it for my brothers and sisters belong to Quran Alone. Please visit my blog rmakhtar.blogspot.com where I have translated the words "DUA'A" "SUBER" and "SHUKAR". I intend to translate further, Inshallah.
If i can be of any service, Am there.

salaam/peace all,
I am shortly going to be working on linking every root in PRL to its root page in corpus. To get an idea of what I mean please see the first few root entries on the Alif page
http//www.studyquran.co.uk/1_ALIF.htmIf anyone knows how to do this using a script rather than doing it manually, let me know. Otherwise I will need volunteers. It's easy, just cutting, pasting, typing. Easy but time consuming.

Salaam,
Thank you very much handshake
I am sorry I don't know anything about scripting and just little about computers in general, but I would love to help if you need any volunteers for the cutting-pasting-typing work. Just give me an easy manuel how to do it -[
btw do you have all the roots in a Word or Excel document, just the roots without anything else, thanks in advance.
Salaam,

peace all,
Some great news. Someone has developed an offline version of Project Root List, and it is very compact and simple to use.
Please see http//ompldr.org/vODZzdA
Spread the word!
If anyone knows how to convert this so it can be used on mobile devices, let me know.

peace,
mmkhan, I agree. One step at a time
bender, begin by downloading a free html editor if you do not have one already, e.g.
http//www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/ (open, Window tab > select Composer)Then pm me your email address so I can send you the html file to edit, with instructions.
Same goes for others.
As a side note, people are often under the impression it is difficult to contribute to these projects, but it is not. If you can manage to post on a forum, then you can pretty much help. It's all about pooling skills and resources. If one has time, that is a resource.

peace all,
Update all root pages have now been linked to corpus.
Further, I am currently looking into having PRL converted into an app for iphone/android, so it can be used offline on mobiles.
It would be similar to this small program, which currently works on PCs http//ompldr.org/vODZzdA
If anyone has experience in this field, let me know. Also, it will likely cost about $200 to get done. StudyQuran will be accepting donations via paypal, send to info (AT) studyquran.co.uk
If anyone has suggestions for the app based on the above program, let me know asap.

Thanks for sharing,
May God support your endeavors peace
