description Quran retrieval system is becoming an instrument for users to search for needed information. The search engine is one of the most popular search engines that successfully implemented for searching relevant verses queries. However, a major challenge to the Quran search engine is word ambiguities, specifically lexical ambiguities. With the advent of query expansion techniques for Quran retrieval systems, the performance of the Quran retrieval system has problem and issue in terms of retrieving users needed information. The results of the current semantic techniques still lack precision values without considering several semantic dictionaries. Therefore, this study proposes a stemmed terms interrelationship query expansion approach to improve Quran search results. More specifically, related terms were collected from different semantic dictionaries and then utilize to get roots of words using a stemming algorithm. To assess the performance of the stemmed terms interrelationship query expansion, experiments were conducted using eight Quran datasets from the Tanzil website. Overall, the results indicate that the stemmed terms interrelationship query expansion is superior to unstemmed terms interrelationship query expansion in Mean Average Precision with Yusuf Ali 68%, Sarawar 67%, Arberry 72%, Malay 65%, Hausa 62%, Urdu 62%, Modern Arabic 60% and Classical Arabic 59%.
