A stem sits between the root and the word as it actually appears. It is the base pattern a word carries before prefixes, suffixes and inflection are applied, which makes it useful for grouping closely related surface forms.

This resource gives the stems of an ayah at a time: for each ayah, the stem of each of its words in order. If you need the stem of one specific word instead, use the Word stem resource.

Example

Ayah 73:4 has these stems:

73:4
أَوْ زِدْ عَلَيْ رَتِّلِ قُرْءَانَ تَرْتِيلًا

Export format

QUL exports this data as a SQLite database with one row per ayah.

Column Type What it holds
ayah_key TEXT The ayah, in surah:ayah form — for example 73:4.
text TEXT The stem of each word in the ayah, in word order, separated by spaces.
The stems are listed in word order but are not individually numbered. To line them up with the words of the ayah you also need the word by word Quran script, available on the Quran Scripts page.
