What is Blockchain? A Simple Guide for the Muslim Community
Have you heard the word blockchain but still not sure what it really means? Don’t worry — you’re not alone. In this article, we’ll explain what blockchain is in simple words and why it’s something that can benefit the ummah.
📦 What is Blockchain?
Imagine you have a notebook where you write down every transaction, like when you give someone money or receive a donation. Now imagine that millions of people around the world have a copy of that same notebook — and every time someone writes something new, everyone’s notebook is updated at the same time.
That’s what blockchain does — it’s like a shared digital notebook (also called a ledger) that everyone can see but no one can secretly change.
🔒 Why is it Special?
Blockchain has 3 main features:
- ✅ Transparent – Everyone can see what’s written. There’s nothing hidden.
- 🔐 Secure – Once something is written, it cannot be erased or changed.
- 🌍 Decentralized – No single person or company controls it. It’s run by many computers worldwide.
This makes blockchain very trustworthy — like an amanah system that cannot be cheated.
🕌 How Can Blockchain Help the Muslim Community?
Here are a few ways it can benefit us:
1. Trust in Donations (Infaq, Sadaqah, Zakat)
With blockchain, every ringgit you donate can be tracked. You’ll know exactly where your money goes — no more doubts or mismanagement.
2. Smart Contracts for Wasiat & Hibah
Imagine creating your Islamic will (wasiat) or gift (hibah) in a system that follows your instructions automatically when the time comes — without needing expensive lawyers or long court processes.
3. Empowering Masjids & Muslim Businesses
Through platforms like Masjid4All, blockchain can connect mosques, businesses, and individuals in one network. It encourages collaboration and supports the Muslim economy.
💰 What is DinarX?
