This is an honest account of where every feature stands. Status is updated as capabilities pass their quality gates. Nothing is described as available until it genuinely is.
The canonical Qur'an corpus has been reviewed and approved (6,348 source records, 6,236 content ayahs, 114 surahs). Evidence-bound AI search is active. Every answer is traced to reviewed source material and labelled non-authoritative.

Public website readiness is separate from canonical approval. A public website can operate under governance controls while the canonical corpus verification and full public release remain pending. Each gate passes independently.

These are not features waiting in a queue. They are capabilities that QuranTEL will never offer, by design.
QuranTEL will never issue fatwas or religious rulings. This is enforced at the system level — not a policy that can be changed by configuration or user request.
AI-assisted content in QuranTEL will always be labelled as non-authoritative synthesis. No AI output will ever be presented as a religious verdict, scholarly opinion, or authoritative interpretation.
No source will ever be used in a public response without passing the QuranTEL review process. Sources without a complete review record are blocked, not passed through.
Translation will never be presented as revelation. Commentary will never be presented as Qur'anic text. These distinctions are maintained absolutely and cannot be toggled off.
When a feature's status changes from "in progress" to "available," it is because every check in its quality gate has passed. The gate includes provenance verification, authority classification, named reviewer sign-off, and an explicit approval decision. Nothing opens without all checks passing.
Status changes are announced through the early access notification system. If you are on the waitlist, you will be notified when a feature you expressed interest in opens.

QuranTEL is an evidence resource for personal study. It does not issue religious rulings, does not make religious verdicts, and does not substitute for qualified Islamic scholarship. All features — present and future — operate within this boundary.
For religious guidance or rulings, always consult a qualified scholar or imam.
