The linguistic and semantic domain (4 Articles):This remains a cornerstone of the journal. Contributions explore the structural and semantic intricacies of Surah al-Nisa' regarding marriage and social building, alongside a study on the intersection of Riffaterre’s semiotic theory with Angelika Neuwirth’s intertextual approach to Surah al-Ikhlāṣ. Furthermore, this section includes a structural-historical analysis of the term wizr and a discursive, value-oriented examination of the story of Moses and Khiḍr, which employs semiotic-semantic frameworks to reconstruct emotional meanings., Computational and quantitative analysis (3 Articles):This domain is particularly robust, featuring research on generating logical inferences from verses through text mining, as well as an investigation into the sentiment and tone of the Qur’anic discourse using natural language processing. Complementing these are quantitative analyses of the Prophet Muhammad’s interaction patterns with supporters and opponents, which offer fresh insights into the communicative dynamics of the Qur’an., Philosophy and hermeneutics (3 Articles):Articles in this category include a critical analysis of textual historicity within the thought of Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd, a study on the concept of fractal dimensions to model the semantic depth and buṭūn (inner meanings) of the Qur’an, and a comparative study on the methodological divide in interpreting the prophecy of the defeat and victory of the Romans (al-Rūm)., Empirical inquiries (2 Articles):This issue demonstrates our commitment to bridging revelation and contemporary knowledge. We present a metallurgical re-evaluation of the Barrier of Dhū al-Qarnayn, shifting the perspective from traditional alloy hypotheses to an Fe-Cu composite model. Additionally, this section features a reading of the "Light" parable in Surah al-Nur (Q. 24:35), which re-examines the manifestation of God through the lens of modern scientific discourse., Empirical sciences and scientific exegesis, with eighteen articles, continue to constitute the journal’s foundational identity and intellectual backbone., Linguistics and textual analysis, also represented by eighteen articles, stand alongside empirical sciences as the most stable and enduring interdisciplinary domain within the journal., Artificial intelligence and text processing, with eleven articles, have experienced the most rapid growth in recent issues and are likely to play a defining role in the journal’s future development. Computational Qur’anic studies have evolved from a marginal approach in Issue Three to one of the journal’s central themes in Issues Seven and Eight., Qur’anic exegesis and hermeneutics, represented by twelve articles, have maintained a consistent, reflective, and methodologically significant presence throughout the journal’s history., Art, media, and architecture (two articles), and to a lesser extent translation studies (three articles), require greater scholarly attention and may benefit from targeted calls for papers., RIS, EndNote, Mendeley, BibTeX, APA, MLA, HARVARD, CHICAGO, VANCOUVER
