In the name of Allah, the most Merciful and Compassionate

The Project:

The initiative behind this project was sparked out of a curiosity to better understand the Holy Quran through the lens of numerical analysis. The project, initially confined to finding and documenting frequencies of words/letters across the Quran, has now expanded into much more. The long-term hope is to discover and present quantitative information embedded within the text of the Quran that can supplement  traditional theological understandings of the text, leading to a more holistic comprehension and appreciation of the Holy Book. As a Muslim, I believe it is beyond human scope to pass any judgement on the Quran - hence all the analyses have been kept strictly numerical and objective in nature.


Please understand that any errors or discrepancies, if present in the data analysis, are unintentional. Feel free to reach out to me directly if you discover any such errors, or to extend the discussion on where to take the project from here. I look forward to feedback from the Ummah on next steps for this project.
