Abstract-I. INTRODUCTION Search Engines are gradually augmenting their search using semantic search technologies. For example, Google's Hummingbird algorithm is a major step towards semantic search on search engines. While semantic search is applicable for many domains, our goal is to search concepts, relations among concepts and verses of holy Quran using a semantic perspective. That means if one wants to search the verse that has concepts ALLAH and Rain and the relation between them; he should be able to get the desired result. Our final goal is a search engine that will be able to search any verse from holy Quran based on semantic or conceptual queries. But currently we are trying to build an ontology based on Quranic concepts as a foundation for this type of search engine. Since this is a work in progress and implementation of the semantic search engine has not yet been completed, we keep our discussions limited to methodologies of analyzing and searching holy Quran from an ontological perspective. This means that, for now, the search performance is not compared with familiar search engines available online; however this paper demonstrates a preliminary proof-of-concept and the basic principle for a semantic Quranic search engine. As holy Quran is a domain full of various subject matters, we are currently focusing on concepts that are related to Nature domain. Nature domain is a concept in holy Quran which has not yet been investigated extensively. The vision of a semantic web is
