Abstract
Dhamir Al-Quran is a pronoun in the Quran that functions to summarize several subjects that are mentioned in the editorial of the Quran. In addition to summarizing, the function of dhamir is to replace the subject mentioned earlier. The problem often arises is that strong Arabic language skill is needed to find out the subject contained in the dhamir. Mistakes in determining subjects in dhamir will cause errors in understanding, translating or interpreting the Quran. This study aims to help make it easier to find the subject referred to in the pronouns (dhamir) contained in the Koran. The results of this study rediscovered dhamir referred to in the Quran include 14 dhamirs in the form of muttashil, munfasil and subjects referred to by dhamir. The results of this study are packaged in a data retrieval information retrieval application in a database that is named Dhamir Phedia. The methods used in the Dhamir Phedia application are classification, clustering, and patterns. Classification is used to find a model for the sake of searching for dhamir. While clustering is used to classify data based on similarity. Data or words that are included dhamir before being inputted are selected first and then the level of similarity is searched by interpretation of dhamir references. After the categorization process is done, then the patterning process is carried out to get a new pattern that suits the system requirements. The final results of the process are then entered into a database for later use in the search process to speed up and improve the precision of information retrieval results.
