The Holy Quran is the most significant religious text, which is followed by the believers of the Islamic religion. The translations of the Quran are the interpretation of its meaning in different languages, to assist those who are not familiar with the Arabic language. Most of the Quranic search systems that support the needs of who are non-native speakers of the Arabic language of the contents of the Holy Quran are based on keywords matching. Since there are several known English translations of the Holy Quran and each translation has its terminology based on the style of the translator. In addition to that, there are Islamic terms might be not used in the English language, such as "Hajj" or "Saum," where these terms might vary from one translation to another. Therefore, these search systems do not support the needs of the user, and often there is no matching between the terms of user's question and the terms of the Quran. Consequently, this research has used the synonyms of WordNet to expand the user's question, and to cover all the possibilities of the terms that might be used in the Quran translation, but there are many of Islamic terms are not available in the WordNet database.
