Synopsis

Struggling to find a rigorous, methodology-driven guide that bridges Islamic textual tradition and modern social science research? This handbook fills that gap — offering students and researchers a principled, tool-supported pathway into Qur'anic discourse analysis without claiming to interpret the Word of Allah. Focusing on the first seven Surahs of the Holy Qur'an, this resource introduces two powerful analytical frameworks side by side. The program developed by Kaheel for counting and analysing the letters and words of the Holy Qur'an is presented alongside QDA-Miner — the qualitative data analysis software produced in Quebec by Provalis — giving you both quantitative precision and qualitative depth within a single, cohesive methodology. Through QDA-Miner's proximity of verses analysis, word cloud visualisations, and statistical mapping of thematic patterns, you will discover how computational tools can illuminate the structural and semantic architecture of sacred text in ways traditional close-reading alone cannot achieve. The proximity of verses feature, in particular, opens genuinely new research questions about co-occurrence, repetition, and thematic clustering across Surahs. The scholarship of Ibn Kathir and Al-Mawdudi grounds the interpretive context, ensuring that computational findings are always read within established exegetical tradition. You will feel the satisfaction of working at the intersection of reverent scholarship and cutting-edge research methodology — a rare combination in any academic field. Whether you are a postgraduate student designing your first discourse study, or an experienced researcher seeking reproducible, transparent methods for Qur'anic corpus analysis, this handbook offers the structured guidance you have been looking for. It does not presume to interpret divine text — it equips you to study it with integrity, rigour, and appropriate humility.
