Islamic scholarship
Cited the way the discipline already cites.
For students and scholars working with Quran, Hadith, Tafsir, and Fiqh. Cognoir parses these texts by their actual structure — surah and ayah, hadith number and isnād, volume and page — and cites them the way they have been cited for centuries.
One document, three questions, no account required.
Hadith
Hadith with the isnād intact.
Upload Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, the Sunan or Musnad collections, and the citations Cognoir produces include the collection, book, hadith number, and the chain of narration where the source provides it. We do not strip the isnād, paraphrase it, or reorder it.
Authenticity gradings are preserved exactly as the source presents them. Cognoir does notinvent a grading — if the source doesn’t classify a hadith, the citation reflects that rather than marking it authentic to look tidy.
Qur'an
Quran by surah and ayah.
Quranic citations resolve to the surah name and ayah number in the form your tradition uses. When the source is a translation, the citation names the translator — Pickthall, Yusuf Ali, Saheeh International, Mufti Taqi Usmani. When the source is the Arabic, the citation is to the Arabic.
A translation-based answer is never silently presented as the Arabic. The citation tells the reader which language the answer rests on.
Tafsīr and Fiqh
Classical texts, cited like a scholar would.
Author, work, volume, and page — with Hijri and Gregorian dating preserved as the source gives them. For a multi-volume work like Tafsir al-Tabari or al-Mughni, the volume number is part of the citation.
Ask where the Hanafi and Shafi’i schools diverge on a question, and Cognoir answers from the texts in your library — identifying each position by madhhab only where the source asserts that affiliation.
What you can upload
Web pages and scanned manuscripts are supported; scanned material is read by OCR. 50 MB per file. The complete fourteen-type list is on the source types page.
Grounded in your texts, and only your texts.
Answers cite the passage.
Every answer points to the collection, ayah, or volume and page it came from — auditable in two clicks.
Your library isn't training data.
The texts you upload aren't used to train models — ours or anyone else's. Workspaces are isolated per customer.
Delete is delete.
Removed from storage and the search index — no soft deletes, no shadow copies.
A note on accuracy
Cognoir is a research aid, not a fatwa engine. Its answers are grounded in the specific texts you uploaded, and their citations are auditable in two clicks. The judgement of what constitutes a fatwa-eligible answer rests with the qualified scholar reading the output. Cognoir helps locate the passage; it does not pronounce a ruling.
