AI at Quran Chat
Chat about the Quran with two AI assistants, grounded in trusted translation and tafsir.
At Quran Chat, we've integrated advanced AI to help you explore the Qur'an with greater depth, ask meaningful questions, and receive instant, educational responses—all designed as a learning tool that complements traditional study, not as a religious authority. Answers are drawn from the Mufti Taqi Usmani translation of the Quran, the Ma'ariful Qur'an tafsir, and the hadith of Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim. Arabic verses are quoted in the exact Tanzil Uthmani text, from the Tanzil Project.
Two assistants: Alim and Nur
Pick the assistant that suits you. Alim gives clear, direct, referenced answers. Nur is gentle and reflective, for when you want to talk something through. Both draw on the same sources, and your chats are saved to your account so you can return to them.
The AI behind it
Quran Chat is powered by open-source AI that we run ourselves, built for one job: answering from the sources.
- An open model on our own hardware. Qwen3, a 4-billion-parameter open-source model (Apache 2.0), served from our own hardware. Your messages are not sent to a third-party AI provider.
- Fine-tuned for Quran Chat, hadith included. We trained it further on 2,120 checked English answers, each written from the sources above and checked for unsupported claims, citations and language before it was used. 412 of them answer from hadith of Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim, so the model learned to say when something is a hadith and to cite it by collection and number. That is why Quran Chat is optimised for English.
- 43,768 source passages. All 6,236 verses of Mufti Taqi Usmani’s translation, 22,218 passages of Ma’ariful Qur’an, and 15,314 from the hadith of Sahih al-Bukhari (tr. Muhsin Khan) and Sahih Muslim (tr. Abdul Hamid Siddiqui). Each question first looks up the passages that answer it.
- Hadith named as hadith. When a question is answered by a hadith rather than a verse, such as the five pillars of Islam, the answer says it is a hadith and cites it, e.g. Sahih al-Bukhari 8. A hadith citation must be one the answer was given; one from memory is removed.
- Arabic checked letter by letter. Every Arabic quote is compared with Tanzil’s Uthmani text of the Quran; a quote that doesn’t match is corrected or removed. In our tests, Arabic answers with a wrong Quran quote went from 5 of 12 to 0 of 12.
- Citations checked. A citation must point to a verse the answer was actually given.
- Careful with rulings and hard moments. Questions asking for a personal ruling get the sources and the advice to ask a qualified scholar; people going through something hard get verses of hope and a pointer to help.
AI can still make mistakes, so please read our AI disclaimer.
Answers you can check
Answers name the surah and verse they rely on, and citations and Arabic quotes are checked before they reach you. If you ask for a personal ruling, you get the relevant sources and the advice to ask a qualified scholar. If you are going through something hard, you get verses of hope and a pointer to help.
