or:

http://www.mtmcenter.org/QUR'ENGL.htm

(single file - of the entire book)

http://www.studyquran.co.uk/PRLonline.htm

# this is another site which can be used as a resource, though i am not sure about its contents! the rooj s-j-d lists "hear & obey" as an entry, which is a gross lie!

an example of perversity is the entry for the root k-a(yn)-b! it features a "quote" from lane's: "a house or temple belonging to the tribe of Rabee'ah, who used to compass it, or perform circuits round it (as is done round the Kabbeh of Mekkeh)". what it does not mention is that the "quote" is specifically for "alka-'abaatu" and "dhulka-'abaati"!

also, it does not, perhaps deliberately and deviously, include the "quote" from lane's which talks about "alk'abatu": The Sacred House; [the square, or cubic, building, in the centre of the Temple of Mekkeh]

despite the seeming perversity of this site, it can still be useful for quick lookup of root occurrences!

site(s) seemingly not online at the moment:

http://www.openburhan.com

# offers tools for studyng the quran, including root lookup! given the difficult nature of the task, there could be some inaccuracies! also, the work is not complete!

okay...i need to make an edit here: "the islam software" also contains 239 sermons and 79 letters of ali from "nahjul balagha", the famous shiite compilation!

...both the downloads (koran s/w and islam s/w) from the site are cool! : cool :
