The most important findings of the study are: –

The modernist studies of the Qur’anic text are the studies that have used the revelations of modernity as a vision seeking to liberate minds and turn against the past without this implying that they all adhere to the principle of desecrating the sanctities. As a result of this influence, the Qur’an text became open to varieties of studies of recollection that are either glorified or not, which confirms that the Noble Qur’an is still and will remain an influential divine text.
In their entirety, the three models confirm that the Qur’an text retained a central reference position in Arab culture despite the magnitude of the changes that modern Arab societies have known in their relationship to the sacred text and the effects of modernist consciousness on this sacred text.
