Abstract:
Quran is the sacred, the most authentic, and unchanged book of the God since its revelation over 14
centuries. People usually read Quran using the traditional printed version on paperback format called
Mushaf. Which is the verbatim word of Allah. The recent advent of smart technologies like smart
phones, digital devices and tablets has collected the daily life routines under a single touch and most of
the Muslims are adopting these new tools with an exponential growth. The growth of online digital
multimedia content has enabled the rapid digitization of printed manuscripts, resulting in faster and
more effective dissemination of digital publications. In this paper, we highlight the challenges and
concerns that Muslim community has relevant to the digitization of the Holy Quran. A survey was
conducted to explore the trends and adoption of technology using digital and smart devices for reading
And learning Quran in the Muslim community. In addition, it was also endeavored to identify that how
Muslims feel important or mandatory to have an Islamic body to monitor and endorse the digital
versions and copies of the Holy Quran available in the digital format in the market. The paper is
supported by a survey results and analysis extracted from 12 questions and 36 responses, five interviews
and three discussions from different faculty students of South Eastern University of Sri Lanka.
