The teaching staff continue to Alnoor University, Enriching the scientific library with distinguished publications that reflect the diversity of their research interests and their ability to bridge different fields of knowledge. In this context, they have published ,Dr. Asmaa Yousuf Thanoon,, a faculty member at the College of Dentistry at Alnoor University,A new book titled Visual Imprint Between Letter and Memory: A Cognitive Model of the Miraculous Nature of the Qur'anic Script
The book presents an innovative cognitive perspective on the study of the Qur'anic script, revealing how the letters and their patterns of repetition contribute to the formation of a visual memory that helps readers and memorizers retain the Qur'anic text and recall it with greater speed and accuracy. It further demonstrates that repetition in the Holy Qur'an is not merely a lexical recurrence; rather, it is a meticulously structured system that harmonizes sound with meaning and visual form with memory, making the Qur'anic text a coherent and integrated whole that becomes deeply anchored in both the mind and the heart.
Among the most significant outcomes of this research was the production of three printed editions of the Qur'an based on the Madinah Mushaf. In each edition, recurring letters were highlighted in different colors, creating distinct visual patterns that facilitate memorization, reduce forgetting, and strengthen the retention of the Qur'anic script in visual memory more effectively.
This publication represents a distinguished scholarly contribution and invites readers to reflect on the aesthetic beauty of the Qur'anic script while rediscovering the Holy Qur'an as an integrated geometric structure that embodies one of the enduring dimensions of its miraculous nature across the ages.
