The Technical Preservation of the Qur’anic Text Through Blockchain-Based Systems

Abstract

This research paper addresses the contemporary challenges facing the Quranic text and its exegetical heritage in the digital space, particularly given the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence and the associated risks of deepfakes and textual distortion. The study aims to present a pioneering approach to digitizing the Islamic concept of "Isnad" (chain of transmission) and "Dabt" (preservation) by employing Blockchain technology. The paper proposes creating a sovereign digital ledger containing the cryptographic hash (SHA-256) of the approved Quranic text and authorized exegeses (Tafsir), effectively preventing the circulation of unverified electronic copies, The study concludes that Blockchain represents the natural digital extension of the "Tawatur" (continuous transmission) methodology, Its decentralization and cryptographic features guarantee "technical infallibility" of the text, making any tampering attempts impossible
