Question university-controlled Islamic text? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

quran

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'islamic text?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'question university-controlled' is the wordplay.
'question' becomes 'q'.
'university' becomes 'u' (abbreviation for university).
'controlled' becomes 'ran' (I've seen this in other clues).
'q'+'u'+'ran'='QURAN'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for quran that I've seen is " Islamic holy book".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
