Starter Historical Profile

Surah 2 • Medinan

Largest surah. Community law, covenant, worship, finance, ethics, and narrative argument.

Built across Medinan period as community constitution-like corpus with doctrinal and legal density.

Expansion Rules

Editions stay sharded by identifier for repo safety and edge-friendly loading.

Knowledge entries stay explicit and source-aware. No silent inference stored as fact.

New scholarly categories should land in canonical JSON first, then flow into SQL exports and docs automatically.
