About Quranic Newspapers

What if the stories of the Quran were told through the craft of journalism?

The Concept

Quranic Newspapers reimagines the 114 Surahs of the Quran as newspaper editions. Each Surah becomes a published edition, complete with headlines, character spotlights, witness testimonies, psychological analysis, and editorial reflections. The result is 228 unique editions across two distinct publications.

This is not a translation. It is a data-driven reframing -- using computational analysis of character relationships, Maslow's hierarchy of needs, semantic intensity, and psychological archetypes to surface the layers of meaning already present in the sacred text. Every insight is grounded in verse evidence.
