I'm pleased to offer the Koran (Qur'an) as a MySQL database too. I've taken the three translations by Abdullah Yusuf Ali, Marmaduke Pickthall, and Mohammad Habib Shakir from the Project Gutenberg version (see http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/16955 ). I've loaded them into a koran database containing 4 tables (one per translation and an extra one called 'books' with the chapter names). To use it, just download either the zipped or plain text version, and whizz through the mysql client program. There's a CREATE DATABASE koran; command in the dump file, so you don't even need to do that.


mysql -h myhost -u username -pxxxx < koran.mysql.txt


A few seconds later, and the words of the Prophet will be at your fingertips. Enjoy!
