Delivering Digital Quran Authentication and Certification As a Service

Revealed over 1,400 years ago, the Holy Quran remains the unchanged and divine word of Almighty Allah, protected by His promise: "Indeed, it is We who sent down the Quran, and indeed, We will be its guardian." [Surah Al-Hijr, Verse 9]

However, the current digital age has introduced unprecedented challenges. Digitized copies may contain some linguistic errors, whether intentional or unintentional. These affect the accuracy of the Qur’anic pronunciation and its meaning, therefore misleading Muslims and distorting Islamic teachings.

That is why we have stepped up to take on the responsibility of documenting the authenticity of digital copies of the Qur’an, ensuring the preservation and integrity of Islamic teachings.

University

Our mission is to develop innovative solutions based on advanced research and studies.

Our work is based on innovative approaches covered by the intellectual property rights owned by King Saud University as well as groundbreaking research circulated through prominent international journals and conferences. Through these and the impact of what we do, we have garnered widespread recognition and were featured by several media outlets.

Our platform aims to be the global standard for documenting the accuracy of digital copies of the Qur’an. We also seek to provide reliable sources of the digitized Holy Qur’an to protect Muslims and Islamic institutions around the world from all types of errors.

Join us in caring for and reviewing the digital copies of the Holy Qur’an, to ensure their safety for future generations.
