 I would like to make some notes:
   + About the language of the index texts (title and description), it would
      work just fine if we are talking about one language but the Qur'an
      application is supposed to be  internationalized.
      A short-sighted solution would be to make an index for every language
      supported by the application, but that makes redundant copies of the
      same data (the location of chapters and verses).
   +  About sajda marks, juzz..etc, I'm not sure how can that fit into the
       index, and what if the user doesn't have the index? that means
       he/she cannot use the application.
   +  About Asbaab Annozool, I was thinking of handling it the same as Tafsir.
