## About
This repository contains the contents of the holy book, The Quran - in its original

**Contents**

2. [src/sql/](#srcsql-directory)
3. [bin/](#bin-directory)
## <a id='srcjson-directory'>src/json/</a>
* [src/json/ar/](src/json/ar/) contains The Quran in its original Arabic.

### JSON schema
Each JSON file represents a surah (also known as a chapter). The format of the JSON
files can be described as an array where the first element is an object that contains
information about a surah, and the rest of the array is made up of two-element arrays.
The first element is the ayah number (also known as a verse number), and the second
element is the contents of the ayah. See Surah [Al-Fatihah](src/json/en/1.json) as
an example.
```
