Ensuring Integrity of Quranic Verses using Hyperledger Fabric Framework under IBM Blockchain Platform

Quran is the Holy book of Muslims revealed to the last Prophet (SAW) during the previous 1400 years. The internet has made everything available to everyone in the modern world. The existence of digital copies of the Quran and its verses creates tampering opportunities for groups with malicious intents. False Quranic verses are available online containing symbols that are missing or incomplete statements. Globally, followers of the Holy Quran are concerned about the spread of falsehoods. A trusty framework using blockchain technology is being developed to ensure the integrity of the Holy Quran. Blockchain technology is used in the study to build digital trust, which is an emerging distributed ledger technology. Based on the Hyperledger fabric framework, the suggested architecture is tested on the IBM blockchain platform. Three phases make up the proposed architecture: execution, ordering, and validation. The components of the framework include participants, a Quran-distributed ledger, consensus, and chaincode. The blockchain storage system sets the Quranic hash in the Quran distributed ledger. Consensus is reached to agree on a specific transaction to be validated. Chaincode specifies the logic and endorsement policy, allowing interaction with the ledger. The suggested frame-work shows how users and establishers collaborate with the network to validate and verify Quranic verses. The research suggests using blockchain technology to ensure the integrity of Quranic verses, which aids in the conservation of the text while also demonstrating a method for verifying its authenticity.
