This study introduces the application of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) within Qur'anic sciences to enhance understanding and interpretation of the sacred text. Traditional Qur'anic studies, while rich in depth and theological insight, often lack standardized frameworks for systematic evaluation. By integrating KPIs specifically accuracy, relevance, and consistency this research bridges classical exegesis with modern analytical methods, fostering a more precise and applicable approach to Qur'anic interpretation. The methodology involves selecting key concepts such as justice (‘adl*), compassion (rahmah), and wisdom (hikmah), which are central to Islamic teachings. These concepts are analyzed using the KPI framework, incorporating interdisciplinary methods from linguistics and data analytics. The analysis reveals that applying KPIs enhances analytical precision, ensures consistency across interpretations, and increases the relevance of Qur'anic teachings to contemporary issues such as social justice, ethical governance, and humanitarian efforts. The findings demonstrate that KPIs effectively facilitate a harmonious alignment between classical and contemporary interpretations without compromising theological integrity. The study discusses the implications for researchers, educators, and Islamic scholars, highlighting the potential for KPIs to modernize Qur'anic studies and make them more accessible and actionable. Challenges such as theological sensitivity and methodological constraints are acknowledged, and recommendations are provided for expanding KPI application, leveraging technology like artificial intelligence, and promoting interdisciplinary collaboration. The integration of KPIs into Qur'anic sciences offers a promising pathway for revitalizing Islamic scholarship, ensuring that the timeless teachings of the Qur'an continue to guide and inspire in an ever-changing world.
