\nYemeni researcher Mohammed Atboush has won the Andrew Rippin Award for Best Paper in Qur\u2019anic Studies for the 2026\u20132027 academic year, presented by the International Qur\u2019anic Studies Association (IQSA), in recognition of his research exploring connections between ancient Yemeni inscriptions and the meanings of Qur\u2019anic vocabulary.<\/p>\n
Atboush received the award for his paper, titled \u201cNotes on the Sacred Marriage Ritual in Ancient Yemen,\u201d which he recently presented at an academic symposium organised by IQSA and hosted by the University of Vienna in Austria.<\/p>\n

The research highlights the importance of ancient inscriptions and archaeological linguistic evidence in advancing Qur\u2019anic studies, particularly through comparisons between historical texts and Islamic sources to gain a deeper understanding of Qur\u2019anic expressions.<\/p>\n
