QuranicMMLU: A Cognitively-Aware Benchmark for Evaluating Generative AI Solutions on Quranic Linguistic Knowledge

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 18, 2026 · UTC

We introduce QuranicMMLU, a benchmark for evaluating generative AI on Quranic Arabic across multiple dimensions of linguistic complexity. Existing Quranic benchmarks center on general question answering and semantic retrieval, without probing specific linguistic competencies or stratifying by cognitive demand and verse difficulty. We construct a five-pillar Quranic taxonomy spanning Phonology, Morphology, Syntax, Semantics, and Pragmatics, with 31 leaves covering phenomena from tajwīd and root-and-pattern morphology to occasions of revelation and inter-surah coherence. For each leaf we generat
