Abstract
A Quranic researcher's personality should be identified by the
scientific characters because his/her efforts should be based
on evidence and truth to acquire knowledge, And without any
doubt, the basic role here is to transform the Quranic givens
to realistic values that shapes the society into a better place,
by trying to provide solutions for the problems and crises that
our society is passing through, and develop our society's
issues based on the Quranic visions. Moreover, based on our
belief that it is necessary to start the development from the
needs of the society, and in order for the Quranic researcher
to complete this role in the perfect and most delightful way,
this paper represents a new flame that will surely help in
strengthening the researcher's ability, and in providing new
technological techniques and tools of “Data Science” and
specifically “Big Data”, in order to provide Quranic students
and institutions a huge power that will lead to analyze the
new era's situations and needs. Data Science is the process of
extracting data from different sources to detect the directions
and visions that represents it. This whole process leads us to
produce and come up with the right techniques and decisions
in any issue that is tackled. However, when such science is
putting in the hands of a Quranic sciences researcher, we
will be investing a productive mentality, and getting a
step closer to treat the polarity that the Muslim lives
trying to connect between theories and the practical reality.
