# QCF4 Quran Database

A developer-friendly Quran database using **QCF v4** (Quran Complex Font, version 4) glyph rendering for the **Hafs** recitation. This dataset provides structured, page-accurate Quranic text data paired with the fonts needed to render it — exactly as it appears in the printed Madinah Mushaf.

## What is QCF4?

QCF4 is a Quranic font based on the **Madinah Mushaf (1441 AH)**, written by the calligrapher **Uthman Taha** and produced by the **King Fahd Complex** in Madinah. It is an improved edition of QCF2 (2013) with:

- Higher quality letter shapes and diacritical marks
- No whitespace gaps between words
- Only **47 font files** (down from 604 in QCF1/QCF2)
- Updated verse-end marker design

> خط قرآن مصحف المدينة النبوية ١٤٤١هـ — الإصدار الرابع — رواية حفص عن عاصم

## Dataset Structure

```
├── pages/          # 604 JSON files — one per Mushaf page
├── fonts/          # 47 QCF4 TTF font files + BSML header font
├── fonts-woff2/    # 47 QCF4 WOFF2 font files + BSML header font
├── index.json      # Master index — all 114 chapter metadata
├── verses.json     # Verse-key → page/line lookup (e.g. "2:255")
└── font-map.json   # Page number → font name mapping
```

## Data Fields

Each page file (`pages/NNN.json`) contains:

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `page` | int | Mushaf page number (1–604) |
| `font` | string | Main font for this page |
| `surahs` | array | Chapters present on this page |
| `lines` | array | Lines on the page, each containing words |

Each word contains:

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `char` | string | Unicode character mapping to the glyph |
| `code` | int | Unicode code point |
| `font` | string | Font to use for rendering this word |
| `type` | string | `word`, `end`, `surah_header`, `bismillah`, `quarter` |
| `verse_key` | string | e.g. `"2:255"` (for type `word` and `end`) |
| `position` | int | Word position within the verse |
| `text` | string | Human-readable Arabic text |

## Use Cases

- **Quran apps** — render pixel-perfect Mushaf pages in web or mobile apps
- **Arabic OCR** — ground-truth glyph-to-text alignment data
- **Tajweed analysis** — word-level verse segmentation
- **NLP research** — structured Arabic text with positional metadata
- **Accessibility tools** — verse highlighting, word-by-word navigation

## Quick Start

```python
import json
import requests

# Load a page
page = requests.get(
    "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MohamadHajjRabee/quran-qcf4/main/pages/001.json"
).json()

# Print all words on the page
for line in page["lines"]:
    for word in line["words"]:
        if word["type"] == "word":
            print(word["verse_key"], word["text"])
```

```js
// Web — load font and render a word
const page = await fetch(
  "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MohamadHajjRabee/quran-qcf4/main/pages/001.json"
).then(r => r.json());

// Load the font via jsDelivr
const style = document.createElement("style");
style.textContent = `@font-face {
  font-family: "${page.font}";
  src: url("https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/MohamadHajjRabee/quran-qcf4@main/fonts-woff2/${page.font}_W.woff2");
}`;
document.head.appendChild(style);
```
