Abstract

Given that Quran repeatedly asks its readers to ponder over its message, it is
understandable that developing a fuller understanding of Quran has been important
to Muslims since the time of the prophet Muhammad (pbuh).
Starting with Hazrat Abdullah Ibn Abbas’s “Tanwir_al-Miqbas,” Islamic scholars
have produced hundreds of exegesis to help their fellow Muslims gain a better
understanding of the word of Allah.
Recent scientific breakthroughs in the field of artificial intelligence and information
retrieval have resulted in the development of automated text analytics tools that
aim to automatically discover and visualize patterns in various types of texts.
Increasing number of scholars are turning to these tools to better understand
patterns in various texts. This talk will review text analytics tools and using
examples, illustrate how they can help us better understand the final word of God
designed to guide humanity till the end of times
