	### Languages

	The text dataset is in Persian (`fa`).

	## Dataset Structure

	### Data Instances

	Here is an example from the dataset:
	```
	{
	'question': 'پیامبر در چه سالی به پیامبری رسید؟',
	'url': 'https://fa.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D9%85%D8%AD%D9%85%D8%AF',
	'passage': 'محمد که از روش زندگی مردم مکه ناخشنود بود، گهگاه در غار حرا در یکی از کوه\u200cهای اطراف آن دیار به تفکر و عبادت می\u200cپرداخت. به باور مسلمانان، محمد در همین مکان و در حدود ۴۰ سالگی از طرف خدا به پیامبری برگزیده، و وحی بر او فروفرستاده شد. در نظر آنان، دعوت محمد همانند دعوت دیگر پیامبرانِ کیش یکتاپرستی مبنی بر این بود که خداوند (الله) یکتاست و تسلیم شدن برابر خدا راه رسیدن به اوست.',
	'answers': [
	{'answer_start': 160, 'answer_text': 'حدود ۴۰ سالگی'}
	]
	}
	```

	### Data Fields
