“…The system was based on a keyword search in which the user is allowed to search using keywords to retrieve relevant verses from the Quran. Noordin and Othman (2006) offered a system for retrieving Quran content and important knowledge derived from the Quran. The system surveyed and retrieved Quranic texts and knowledge from various websites that represent Quranic texts.…”

This study presents a review on the computer based academic researches related to Quran. The main motivation of the paper is because of the growing interest in the Quran knowledge globally, where today we are witnessing several researches on Quran being the main source of knowledge and law for Muslims. Today, computer based research on the Quran is being conducted globally by both Muslims and non-Muslims from various institutions. The study will give an up to date on computer based researchers conducted previously and will assist in furthering up researches in the area.

“…their design, information architecture, contents, and organizational objectives). Researchers who attempt to study Islamic websites differently view them as community-based (Bunt, 2000(Bunt, , 2003, organization-based (Bunt, 2003;Daniels, 2004;Adhami, 2008), culture-based (Wan Abdul Rahim et al, 2008), information-based (Ibrahim et al, 2010), Quranic-based (Noordin & Othman, 2006;Bakeri, 2010), Hadithbased (Nor Shahriza & Norzelatun, 2005) and fatwa (scholar's opinion) (Bruckner, 2001;Bunt, 2003;Sisler, 2009). Moreover, some researchers consider all websites about Islam as 'Islamic websites', and as such they neither classify nor categorize them (Suleman, 2005; The Electronic Journal on Information Systems in Developing Countries http://www.ejisdc.org…”

The growing availability of the Internet and advances in the use of technology among Muslims have led to an increase in the number of websites with an Islamic content. Currently, there is an emerging trend in the improvement of the design and quality of Islamic websites. Islamic websites serve as a medium for Islamic organizations, scholars, and individuals to contribute and participate in several online activities. This research is drawn from the deep understanding that website design is a major factor affecting the use of websites by Muslim users. We therefore investigate the most important design features that influence Muslims to use websites in learning about Islam, as an alternative to the traditional face-to-face learning from scholars and books. Website design is measured by functionality, navigation, interactivity, attractiveness, and organizational features, and website use by the extent to which frequent use is influenced by the website's design features. An online survey was conducted from November to December 2012. 89 usable responses were collected from faculty members and students at the International Islamic University Malaysia. The participants have experience in using Islamic websites. They were guided to the survey website via the faculty students' mailing list and Facebook group page. The findings indicate that website attractiveness, functionality, navigation, organizational information, and security/privacy are the most important factors influencing the use of Islamic websites. Interactivity design features were found to be least significant in influencing Muslim users to use Islamic websites for religious purposes. The majority of the Muslim users visit Islamic websites to search for information, seek for scholars' opinions regarding personal issues/problems (Q&A), and learn about Quran and Hadith. The results of the study are valuable indicators for the direction of future research, and also suggest guidelines for the successful development and adoption of Islamic websites.

“…Information visualization and the Qur'an The Qur'an is a huge information bearer taking counts its significance for the spiritual life of a Muslim (Yusof et al, 2009). It describes about Islamic concepts, principals, civilizations, rulings and even science apart from translation and transliteration issues (Noordin and Othman, 2006). It contains 114 chapters (surah) that are classified in two categories called Meccan (revealed in Makkah) and Medinan (revealed in Madinah), 6,236 verses (ayah) and seven divisions called manzil or 30 parts called juz (Mustapha, 2009;Yusof et al, 2009).…”

“…Dukes (2010) does Information visualization techniques provide a value of history underneath the ontology listed. This feature is strengthened by the proposed system made by Noordin and Othman (2006) where the knowledge linked to the Qur'anic text should be brought forward as the knowledge repository for scholars and any users especially Muslims. Atlas and histories are part of the knowledge intended (Noordin and Othman, 2006).…”

“…The richness of Qur'an as knowledge repository is suitable with the characteristic of concept maps where it able to visualize concepts and the relationships that results to conceptual understanding to the users (Darmofal et al, 2002). In addition, the concept map tool is capable to represent human knowledge (Novak and Cañas, 2010) and this is appropriate in conceptualizing the knowledge that are linked with the Qur'anic text (Noordin and Othman, 2006). Figures 3 and 4 show two examples of concept map visualization.…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to study suitable visualization techniques representing Qur'an history and atlas. It focuses on analyzing the effectiveness of the concept map and the hyperbolic tree visualization techniques. Design/methodology/approach -The effectiveness is measured in the aspects of the task time to complete a search based on questions provided. The task time is predicted using a task analysis technique called keystroke level model -goal operator methods and selection rules (KLM-GOMS). It is suitable to produce the hypothesis of which visualization techniques are able to maneuver the users to complete the task goals in the shortest time. The scope presented is the histories and locations related to selected chapters in part 30 of the Qur'an. Findings -Hyperbolic tree is more time effective compared with concept map visualization technique. Concept map visualization system has been voted as the most satisfying visualization technique even though the difference is only 1.3 seconds. The more important aspect for this analysis is the presentation of the information. Information should be presented clearly rather than hidden although the hidden function should be provided for users to use. However, both techniques are predicted to support conceptual understanding.Research limitations/implications -The focus of the analysis was data structure and how to get to the right nodes before retrieving the final output. Social implications -Assisting developers of Qur'anic systems therefore improves the effectiveness of users of Qur'anic system in finding information. Originality/value -Analysis on visualization techniques in context Qur'an history and atlas using KLM-GOMS study in terms of locations that lead to the birth of various chapters in Qur'an is rarely being discussed. Previous studies focus on development and implementation of textual Qur'an systems while this study focuses on user analysis using techniques mentioned above.
