Qur’an Study
Qur’an Study is a curated Zenodo community for Qur’an-centered scholarly articles, research notes, case studies, datasets, translations, methodological papers, numerical studies, and primary-source documentation.
The purpose of the community is to preserve Qur’an-centered work in a durable, DOI-linked, citation-ready form so that claims, methods, translations, datasets, messenger-related assertions, numerical findings, and primary-source materials can be read, examined, challenged, corrected, replicated, and preserved for future generations.
Qur’an Study is not a journal and does not claim ISSN-based periodical status. Inclusion in this community indicates relevance to the community’s scope and acceptance for scholarly preservation. It does not imply theological endorsement of every claim, interpretation, numerical argument, messenger claim, or conclusion contained in a submitted work.
Scope
Qur’an Study accepts work relating to Qur’an-only studies, Qur’anic translation and interpretation, messenger/message criteria, messenger-claim case studies, Qur’anic numerical analysis, structural analysis, orthographic studies, manuscript studies, root-based studies, lexical studies, linguistic studies, concordance studies, datasets, and relevant primary-source documentation.
The community may also preserve methodological papers that clarify how Qur’anic evidence, translation, numerical analysis, archival material, or messenger-related claims should be examined.
Qur’an, Translation, Interpretation, and Evidence
The Arabic Qur’an should be distinguished from translation, interpretation, commentary, numerical analysis, supporting evidence, historical documentation, and personal claims.
The community may preserve materials for scholarly examination without treating those materials as religious authority or theological endorsement.
Messenger-Claim Studies
Qur’an Study may include case studies examining messenger claims. Such studies should distinguish clearly between the claimant’s own published claim, the message allegedly delivered, the Qur’anic basis for the message, the evidence offered, the intended audience and language, third-party attribution, and the durability of the surviving record.
A messenger claim should not be accepted merely because of personality, inherited tradition, community pressure, social-media influence, unsupported numerical construction, third-party attribution, or later follower belief.
Numerical and Structural Studies
Numerical claims should be transparent, reproducible, and Qur’an-anchored. A numerical observation does not become divine proof merely because names, dates, verse numbers, titles, locations, personal identifiers, or gematrical values can be arranged to produce a multiple of 19 or any other number.
Submissions involving numerical analysis should identify the text source, counting rules, orthographic assumptions, calculation method, and interpretive boundary between arithmetic observation and theological conclusion.
Author Identification
Article authors are expected to provide an ORCID iD where applicable. ORCID supports scholarly attribution, citation integrity, and long-term discoverability. ORCID does not imply peer review, institutional endorsement, theological authority, or acceptance of any claim.
Exceptions may be made for historical documents, archival records, deceased authors, recovered primary-source materials, anonymous historical sources, or non-article records where ORCID is not applicable.
Submission and Curation
Submissions should be clearly formatted, evidence-based, citation-ready, and suitable for durable public preservation. Preferred public reading format is PDF, with supporting DOCX, TXT, CSV, XLSX, SQLite, JSON, image, or source files included where appropriate.
The curator may accept, decline, or request revision of any submission for scope, formatting, clarity, source documentation, citation quality, methodological transparency, evidentiary support, metadata quality, or file structure.
Preservation Principle
Qur’an Study exists to preserve Qur’an-centered scholarly and archival work in a stable public record.
The goal is not to create a religious authority, journal hierarchy, or institutional gatekeeping structure. The goal is to make Qur’an-centered claims, studies, datasets, translations, methods, and primary-source materials available for examination, correction, citation, replication, and long-term public access.
