Scholarly Contributions
Al-Kharrat's research centers on Arabic linguistic heritage and its application to foundational Islamic texts. His critical editions include Ahmad ibn Abd al-Nur al-Malaqi's treatise on grammatical particles, Rasf al-mabani fi sharh huruf al-maani. In hadith linguistics, he examined classical lexicographical traditions in his study Manhaj Ibn al-Athir al-Jazari fi musannafihi al-Nihaya fi gharib al-hadith wa-al-athar, which analyzes the methodology and organization of Majd al-Din Ibn al-Athir's dictionary of rare hadith vocabulary. He presented this research at the academic symposium organized by the King Fahd Complex for the Printing of the Holy Quran in Medina.

Inayat al-Muslimin bi al-Lugha al-Arabiya Khidma lil-Quran al-Karim (Muslims' Care for the Arabic Language in Service of the Noble Quran) is a specialized treatise that examines how Arabic linguistic sciences were developed and utilized by Muslim scholars specifically to serve and elucidate the Quranic text. Adopting a descriptive research methodology, it documents the linguistic efforts undertaken in direct service of the scripture rather than offering a general survey of Arabic philology.

al-Mujtaba min Mushkil I'rab al-Qur'an (The Selected Guide to Difficult Quranic Syntax) is a work on Quranic grammatical analysis that focuses on resolving obscure, difficult, and ambiguous syntactic constructions across the Quran.
