The Challenge

Rising Christian-Muslim tensions across Europe (110,000-150,000 far-right rallies in London, mosque vandalism). Rooted in theological absolutism—belief that religious texts are perfect, unchangeable divine words letter-by-letter prevents critical analysis.

Key Pain Points:

  • Muslims' belief in Quran as absolute divine word (every letter perfect) makes distinguishing timeless wisdom from historical context impossible

  • Interpretive elasticity in texts can justify peace OR war, pluralism OR domination

  • Scholars function as 'debuggers' preserving codebase rather than identifying problematic elements

  • No framework exists for systematic religious text analysis respecting faith while enabling discernment

  • Social media and AI potentially amplifying religious biases across educational systems

  • Growing polarization between communities without tools for nuanced understanding

Approach

Sacred Source Network (SSN): Platform applying Azoth Framework seven principles to analyze Quranic verses, distinguishing timeless spiritual wisdom from historical context. Uses Hermetic principles (Prophet Idris/Hermes) that Muslims already respect as bridge for critical analysis.

Research Methodology

1
Framework Development

Four-tier mining framework: Core/Framework/Archive/Obsolete, Contradiction engine identifying tension pairs, Dual-lane analysis: Universal principles + historical context, Confidence scoring methodology (0-100)

2
Verse Database Creation

Complete Quranic verse analysis using framework, Cross-reference mapping between related verses, Historical context integration (asbāb al-nuzūl), Scholarly commentary synthesis

3
Platform Development

Atlas of Quran web platform, User-friendly verse analysis interface, Educational resources for framework understanding, Community discussion features

Technical Highlights

Four-tier mining framework distinguishing eternal wisdom from time-bound guidance

Hermetic principles as bridge figure (Prophet Idris) respected across Abrahamic faiths

Contradiction engine mapping tension pairs enabling interpretive awareness

Dual-lane reasoning: Universal consciousness + historical localized context

Confidence scoring (0-100) for divine inspiration vs. historical circumstance

Systematic analysis without attacking faith—framework Muslims already respect

The Results

Provides systematic framework for Muslims to distinguish timeless spiritual wisdom from 7th-century historical context without rejecting faith. Enables nuanced religious text analysis preventing both blind literalism and complete rejection. Creates bridge for interfaith understanding using shared Hermetic principles.
