In this paper, the word prediction algorithm, n-gram, is used to resolve ambiguity in Malay text to retrieve relevant information. The test collection consists of Malay translated Al-Quran and Hadith. Initial experiment is conducted using the keyword madu that retrieved 72 Hadiths and 3 translated Al-Quran documents. Experiments are conducted on these retrieved documents using bigram and trigram. Result shows that trigram gives better prediction and retrieved relevant documents compared to the bigram. © 2016 IEEE. %Z cited By 4; Conference of 3rd International Conference on Computing for Sustainable Global Development, INDIACom 2016 ; Conference Date: 16 March 2016 Through 18 March 2016; Conference Code:124533
