One question that I have been posed a few times is regarding the authenticity of Quran’s text on this site. While this question applies to all texts, it is most important in case of Quran’s original Arabic text.
Originally, the text used for the previous site (searchquran.org) was taken randomly from a digitized copy of the Quran, and thus may not have been accurate. However, from the first day, islamitexts.org was launched with the text taken from http://www.tanzil.info – a project dedicated to developing an accurate digital text of Quran that matches the actual copies of the Quran. They perform multi-faceted verification to assure the accuracy of the text.
Our aim is to make sure that the texts we present are authentic to the point that they can be quoted, and original texts can be picked up for verification if needed by researchers. While we are not there yet with all the texts, but keep tuned to find out more about the authenticity of other texts.
Best wishes for all the readers!

Assalamu Alaykum (peace be upon you),
Welcome to IslamiTexts.org, the replacement site for SearchQuran.org.
There is no doubt that SearchQuran.org has had a far more successful journey than what I had anticipated. There are more than 20,000 hits every month, and the number is increasing. This is despite the fact that the website has been in beta and, due to lack of resources, not much progress could be made.
Over time, it became clearer to me that we need something more than simply a Quran search system. We need a system that can help us conduct research across all Islamic texts. This includes Quran, hadith, fiqh, various commentaries and other scriptures. We need a way to find relevant passages across all sources for a given topic or issue. This is what IslamiTexts aims to achieve.
Welcome to IslamiTexts.org. Please provide us with feedback so we can continue to improve our site.
Best wishes!
