Qur’an Constellation

The words of Allah (swt), every ayah a point of light, laid in mushaf order along one unbroken thread. Al-Fatihah sits at the centre; An-Nas closes the outer rim.

The Prophets across the surahsٱلۡأَنۢبِيَآء

The 25 prophets (a.s) named in the Qur'an, from Adam (a.s) to Muhammad (s.a.w), in the order they lived. Each dot marks a surah where the prophet is named; a bigger dot means more ayat. Tap a name to draw that prophet's thread through the spiral above, and tap a dot to read the first ayah there. Only explicit mentions by name are counted.

Looking for signsءَايَٰت

Two ways to look closely at how the Qur'an is put together. The claim tester counts words straight from the Uthmani text and shows every rule it used, so you can see whether a number holds or depends on how it was counted. The rings view shows the mirrored structure scholars have found in Al-Baqarah.

Claim tester

Pick a well-known claim or type your own words. Spell them as they appear in the Uthmani text without vowels, for example ملئكة rather than ملائكة. The forms found are listed so you can check each one and leave out any that don't belong.

Separate extra spellings with commas, e.g. يوم، يوما

Centres and rings

Raymond Farrin (2010) reads Al-Baqarah as nine sections in a ring: each section in the first half is answered by a matching one in the second, folding in to a centre about the new qibla. Al-Baqarah has 286 ayat, so 2:143 closes its first half; it names this ummah a "middle" (وَسَطٗا) community. Tap a section to read it.

The Lensتَحْلِيل

Take one ayah apart word by word. Each layer is a separate witness: sound, form, root, grammar, the alternatives the language offered, and how the word is used across the whole Qur'an. A reading is strongest where independent layers agree. You grade each word yourself, and the analysis goes into your notebook.

  2. 2Form

Tools for finding patterns you wouldn't think to search for, each with a chance check so a finding can be told apart from coincidence. Anything worth keeping goes into your notebook with the exact rules that produced it.

Pick a surah. Every ayah is compared with every other by the dictionary words they share. A ring structure shows up as a bright cross through its centre, and the tool finds the strongest fold, then shuffles the ayat 40 times to see whether a fold that strong could appear by chance.
