## What it is
A complete, structured Quran database distributed as MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite dumps containing the full Arabic text, multiple translations, and verse metadata. It includes Python converter scripts, verification tooling, SHA-256 verse checksums, and provenance documentation tracing the text to the Tanzil Project.

## Use cases
- build a Quran reading app with verse text and translations
- import the Quran into MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQLite for a project
- query verses by surah, juz, hizb, or ruku boundaries
- verify Quranic text integrity with verse-level checksums
- get structured Quran metadata for search or analysis
- convert a MySQL Quran dump to SQLite or PostgreSQL

## When to choose
- you need the complete Quran text with translations in a relational database
- you want verified, provenance-documented Arabic text (Tanzil Uthmani)
- you need schema files and converters for multiple database engines
- you want ruku boundaries and verse metadata out of the box

## When to avoid
- you need audio recitations or tafsir commentary not included in the dumps
- you need a real-time API rather than static database dumps
- you rely on the old hizb_id column name in SQLite/PostgreSQL after the August 2026 breaking change
