Abstract:
Muslim scholars have collected Prophet Mohammed’s teachings, sayings and actions several years after his death. These teachings have been collected into what is called “Hadith” in Islam, which is composed of several books. In recent years, digital databases have emerged based on the Hadith books; however, these databases lack validation by Muslim Hadith Scientists. This paper presents the development of a Webtool designed to validate Hadith collections, addressing the challenge of maintaining the integrity and accuracy of these essential Islamic texts in the digital era. By leveraging scholarly collaboration, the tool facilitates a thorough validation process for each Hadith and the chains of narrators. Feedback from Hadith Scientists has been instrumental in refining the tool’s features, ensuring its academic accuracy and user-friendliness. The project signifies a crucial step towards preserving Islamic teachings and proposes a model for future technological advancements in the field of Islamic scholarship.
