ABOUT DQAC

Welcome to our Digital Quran Authentication and Certification (DQAC) initiative

We are dedicated to certifying the authenticity and integrity of the Holy Quran applications and services in the digital era. The Holy Quran, revealed over 1,400 years ago, 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 rise of the digital age has introduced unprecedented challenges. Fake and distorted versions of the Quran, such as "The True Furqan," continue to surface, aimed at misleading Muslims and distorting Islam’s message. Additionally, digital Quran applications and devices frequently feature errors, whether intentional or unintentional, including missing words, altered verses, or errors, etc. These issues threaten the accuracy of Quranic recitation and study for Muslims worldwide, especially in regions where Islamic knowledge resources are limited.

At the heart of our mission is the development of state-of-the-art solutions rooted in cutting-edge research

University

This including patented innovations (pending approval at the US Patent Office) and groundbreaking publications in leading international journals and conferences. Our work has garnered widespread recognition and attention, featured in prominent media outlets for its transformative impact. By employing advanced technologies and stringent certification processes, we ensure that the Quran’s digital presence remains authentic and secure.

Our platform aspires to be a global standard for verifying, validating, and certifying Quranic texts, applications, services, and devices. This effort empowers Muslims, new converts, and Islamic institutions to access trusted Quranic resources while protecting the sacredness of the Holy Quran from malicious or unintended alterations.

Join us in preserving the divine message of the Holy Quran with innovative solutions that uphold its sanctity for generations to come.
