The Quranic text, as the central source of Islamic knowledge and guidance, requires precise analytical tools for thematic classification, linguistic analysis, and the cross-referencing of verses (Ayat). Traditional manual methods, while scholarly authoritative, are time-consuming and subject to interpretive variation. This study proposes to investigate the application of computational methods, specifically Term Frequency–Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF) and Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers for Arabic (AraBERT), as analytical aids for Quranic research. Using Quranic text from the Tanzil corpus and TF-IDF analysis conducted through Voyant Tools, the findings were evaluated against classical Tafsir literature, including the works of Ibn Kathir and Al-Tabari. TF-IDF demonstrated 62–80% agreement with manual scholarly findings, depending on the task type, while AraBERT, validated through existing literature, achieved 80–88% accuracy through context-aware semantic embeddings. A hybrid approach combining both methods is proposed to improve analytical performance, potentially achieving 84–89% accuracy. This study provides a practical roadmap for researchers in Quranic Studies to incorporate computational methods with minimal technical barriers while establishing a quantitative framework for future algorithmic research in Islamic textual analysis.

ڈیجیٹل دور میں مسلم اُمّہ کی شناخت

Aqsa Shabbir — 2026-06-30

The digital age refers to the era of modern technology. In this age, the identity of the Muslim Ummah has become a complex issue. This article presents the identity of the Muslim Ummah in the context of the digital era, where the internet and social media have significantly influenced the values and culture of Muslims. This article examines both the positive and negative impacts of social media and modern technology on the identity of the Muslim Ummah. The traditional identity of the Muslim Ummah is based on the beliefs and values of Tawheed (Oneness of Allah), Risalat (Prophethood), trust in Allah (Tawakkul), patience (Sabr), justice and fairness, equality, and good moral character. The paper discusses that, on one hand, social media has provided many facilities for the Muslim Ummah, such as broad platforms for the spread and preaching of Islam, religious education, and communication. On the other hand, it has also created several negative impacts, including cultural crises, fake news, Islamophobia, and the dominance of Western culture. The purpose of this paper is to explore how the Muslim Ummah can preserve its identity in the digital age while positively utilizing modern technology within Islamic boundaries. Social media can be used for Islamic teachings and preaching, spreading Islamic content, and providing moral guidance.

تاویل الحدیث کا ارتقائی سفر: آغاز سے جدید دور تک ایک تعارفی مطالعہ

Mishal Sadiqa — 2026-06-30

Ta’wil al-Ḥadith, the interpretive engagement with Prophetic traditions, stands as a vital and evolving dimension of Islamic intellectual heritage. This introductory study traces the historical development of Hadith interpretation from the time of the Companions to the present day. It examines how early Muslims understood the Sunnah through contextual awareness, and how this evolved into systematic methodologies across fiqh, ʿUlūm al-Ḥadith, theology, and Sufism. The paper highlights major shifts during the classical period, the impact of colonial modernity, and the diverse approaches of contemporary Muslim scholars ranging from traditional preservationists to reformist and contextual interpreters. By analyzing key phases, prominent figures, and methodological innovations, this study demonstrates how Ta’wil al-Ḥadith has served as a bridge between fidelity to tradition and responsiveness to new intellectual and social challenges. It ultimately underscores the continuing significance of nuanced Hadith interpretation in addressing contemporary issues while remaining rooted in the spirit of the Sunnah.

حدیثِ نبوی ﷺ اور جدید نفسیات: انسانی جذبات کی تربیت کا ایک جدید مطالعہ

Asifa Habib — 2026-06-30

This study explores the profound intersections between the Prophetic Hadiths and contemporary psychological frameworks, particularly in the domain of emotional intelligence (EI) and mental health. By examining key narrations from the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, it presents a timeless model for training human emotions that aligns remarkably with modern concepts such as self-awareness, self-regulation, social awareness, and relationship management. Central to the analysis are Hadiths emphasizing anger management, patience (sabr), gratitude, and emotional restraint. For instance, the Prophet ﷺ defined true strength not as physical dominance but as the ability to control oneself during moments of anger, advising practical techniques like changing posture, remaining silent, performing ablution, or seeking refuge in Allah. These teachings promote cognitive reappraisal, impulse control, and empathetic responses—principles that mirror Daniel Goleman’s EI model and cognitive-behavioral strategies in psychology. The research highlights how Prophetic guidance fosters resilience by reframing adversity as an opportunity for spiritual growth and expiation, reducing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and chronic stress. Unlike purely secular approaches, this integration incorporates tawakkul (reliance on God), dhikr (remembrance of Allah), and forgiveness, which enhance emotional regulation and overall well-being. Empirical parallels are drawn from studies on mindfulness, emotional literacy, and religiosity’s positive impact on mental health. Through a qualitative-comparative methodology, this paper demonstrates that the Hadith-based approach offers a holistic, spiritually grounded framework for emotional training. It not only complements modern psychology but also addresses its limitations by nurturing the soul alongside the mind. The findings advocate for culturally sensitive interventions in Muslim communities and broader applications in therapeutic settings, promoting sustainable mental health in an increasingly emotionally challenging world.

Safina Musa Bodinga — 2026-06-30

The objective of this paper was to disclose on the life and times of Muhammadu Maiturare, the 14th Sultan of Sokoto. Muhammadu Maiturare was a renowned descendant of Shehu Usmanu Danfodiyo, born in Chimmola, a Ribat built by his father, Ahmadu Ibn Atiku. He was known for his bravery, piety, and leadership, earning him the title of Marafa Gwadabawa. Maiturare established the Gwadabawa Ribat, which played a crucial role in the region's security and development, and later became the 14th Sultan of Sokoto, ruling from 1915 to 1924. His early life was marked by a strong emphasis on education, where he received pioneer education from his father and later obtained the required education of his kind. Maiturare's character was lauded for his respect for all, obedience to authority, and support for equity, justice, and peace. He was an ardent large-scale farmer and believed in working to earn a living. As the founder of Gwadabawa Ribat, Maiturare aimed to protect the Caliphate, create a vast land for resettlement, and provide for the teeming population. He established several towns and villages, including Kadassaka, Tangaza, and Illela, and appointed leaders to govern them. His reign as Sultan was marked by significant achievements, including the renovation and construction of mosques, development of road networks, and establishment of the Work Department and Gidan Hattara Work School. Maiturare's legacy extends beyond his achievements, as he was recognized by the British for his outstanding contributions, receiving the Most Distinguishing Order of Saint Michael and Saint George. He died in 1924, leaving behind 33 children, and was succeeded by his son, Muhammadu Tambari.
