Abstract
This study examines the transformative impact of digitalization on traditional Quranic studies methodology and sacred text interpretation in the contemporary era. The research employs a qualitative approach with descriptive analysis, collecting data from academic literature and digital platform observations to investigate how digital technology has fundamentally altered accessibility patterns, teaching methodologies, and challenges related to Quranic sacredness. Findings reveal that digitalization has significantly enhanced student engagement and motivation through interactive applications offering advanced features including multimedia presentations, audio-visual elements, and collaborative learning platforms. However, this transformation presents substantial challenges including the erosion of traditional mushaf sacredness, potential interpretation distortions due to uncontrolled access to exegesis, and the democratization of religious authority that may compromise scholarly authenticity. The study concludes that collaborative efforts between academics and religious scholars are essential to maintain equilibrium between digital technology utilization and preservation of scholarly traditions in Quranic studies while optimizing technology's potential for global education.
