Our Sources
Sunan AI is built on verified Islamic texts. We prioritize the Qur'ān and authenticated (ṣaḥīḥ) narrations from the Prophet ﷺ.
How Sunan AI Works
1. Curated Knowledge Base
We don't just search the open internet. Sunan AI is connected to a strict, verified database of the Qur'an, Sahih Hadiths, and scholarly texts.
2. Intelligent Retrieval
When you ask a question, our system identifies the key Islamic concepts and retrieves the most relevant verses and narrations from our verified collection.
3. Strict Verification
We prioritize accuracy above all. If a reference cannot be verified against our database, it is not included. This ensures you only see authentic citations.
4. Clear & Direct Answers
The AI synthesizes the retrieved proofs into a clear, easy-to-understand answer, citing the sources directly so you can verify them yourself.
Database coverage
Our database contains Qur’ān verses and authenticated aḥādīth from the canonical collections (e.g., Bukhārī, Muslim), with curated works by recognized scholars. Coverage is continuously expanding.
