Sources and Licences

Tuhur is built on the work of others. Here is each source we use, who made it and where to find it.

1. The Quran

Quran text

Quran.com (Quran Foundation) quran.com

The Quran’s Arabic text, and the translations, pronunciation, tafsirs and recitations listed below, come from Quran.com. Page mode shows the text of its page layouts instead (below).

Tajweed colours

Quran Foundation quran.foundation

The Quran text coloured by the rules of tajweed is fetched from Quran Foundation’s Content API when the reader shows it.

Word by word

Quran.com (Quran Foundation) quran.com

Each word’s meaning, its pronunciation in English letters and its recording come from Quran.com; the recordings play from Quran.com’s servers.

Mushaf page layouts

Quranic Universal Library (QUL), Tarteel qul.tarteel.ai

Page mode’s 15-line Madani (604 pages) and IndoPak (610 pages) layouts, and the word-by-word Quran text they are built with, come from QUL. Tuhur changes no text: in the IndoPak layout it adds the surah name and basmala lines its file does not have, and corrects one overlapping line.

Licence: QUL states no copyright for these files, and its FAQ allows its data to be used, even in commercial projects, some of it with attribution.

Quran fonts

King Fahd Glorious Quran Printing Complex fonts.qurancomplex.gov.sa

Page mode uses the Complex’s KFGQPC HAFS Uthmanic Script (version 2.2) and KFGQPC Nastaleeq (version 0.10), served unchanged.

Licence: The Complex’s font licence: free to use, copy and distribute; the fonts may not be sold or modified.
