About

A balance, not a pulpit

Mizan is a research instrument — not a devotional product. It shares the Quranic-Insights project's data, read-only, but none of its voice, theology, or conclusions.

What it does

It replaces the weak question — “does the Book fit modern knowledge?” (any serious text can be made to fit) — with a falsifiable one: does it survive? It treats the Qur'an as a defendant in a trial whose rules the text wrote for itself (4:82, 30:2-4, 15:9, 2:23, 41:53), attacks each self-staked claim with the strongest available weapon, and measures how many break — against matched rival corpora under the identical assault, net of an empirical null.

What it refuses to do

It cannot adjudicate divine origin. It can only measure how many self-staked claims survive assault that comparable texts' claims do not, and how large and stubborn the unexplained residual is after the four ordinary explanations are spent. It is built to report a small residual as readily as a large one — and to be able to conclude that the objection won.

How it stays honest

Preregistration on chain. The charter, the adversary prompts, and the plans are hashed (blake2b-256) and anchored on AMANAH before any result exists — so the rules cannot be quietly changed and results cannot be retro-fitted. By math, not trust.
Adversarial by construction. A Prosecutor attacks every claim, a Defender resolves, a Neutral adjudicates — every step logged. Neutral by audit, not by fiat.
Negative-Verdict Floor. If results look suspiciously clean, the instrument — not the Book — is flagged as biased.
Empirical null. The identical assault runs on scrambled text; every rate is reported net of it.

The witnesses

Believers and skeptics are invited to witness the trial before any verdict exists. Registration seals each witness — and their declared starting point — onto the AMANAH chain, so the crowd is provably assembled before the result. Mizan never holds your keys, and no personal data ever touches the chain — only a one-way commitment and a periodic Merkle root. Off-chain records are erasable on request.
