Abstract: Chapter Al-Baqarah is the longest chapter in the Holy Quran, and it covers various topics. Al-Quran is the primary text of Islamic faith and practice. Millions of Muslims worldwide use Al - Quran as their reference book, and it, therefore, helps Muslims and Islamic scholars as guidance of the law life. Text clustering (unsupervised learning) is a process of separation that has to be divided text into the same section of similar documents. There are many text clustering algorithms and techniques used to make clusters, such as partitioning and density-based methods. In this paper, k-means preferred as a partitioning method and DBSCAN, OPTICS as a density-based method. This study aims to investigate and find which algorithm produced as the best accurate performance cluster for Al-Baqarah’s English Tafseer chapter. Data preprocessing and feature extraction using Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF) have applied for the dataset. The result shows k-means outperformed even has the smallest of Silhouette Coefficient (SC) score compared to others due to less implementation time with no noise production for seven clusters of Al-Baqarah chapter. OPTICS has no noise with the medium of SC score but has the longest implementation time due to its complexity.

Keywords: K-means; DBSCAN; OPTICS; Al-Baqarah clustering; Silhouette Coefficient; Tafseer; text clustering
