Saudi Arabia Launches Digital Card for New Muslims
The Ministry of Islamic Affairs of Saudi Arabia has implemented an innovative digital service for individuals embracing Islam. The new card is integrated with the Tawakkalna app and contains a QR code for authenticity verification.
Automation of the Islam Acceptance Process
The Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Dawah and Guidance, under the leadership of Sheikh Dr. Abdullatif Al Alsheikh, has introduced a revolutionary digital service that fully automates the process for individuals wishing to embrace Islam. The system processes all stages — from application submission to approval — electronically. This eliminates the need for paper documentation and significantly reduces processing time. The innovation is part of a broader strategy by Saudi Arabia to expand digital government services and improve citizen and resident interaction with authorities.
Integration with the Tawakkalna App
The digital card for new Muslims automatically integrates with the Tawakkalna app — a key platform for interacting with government services in Saudi Arabia. Once the application is approved, the card becomes available to the user through the mobile app. This means that individuals can access the document at any time, verify it, and present it to the necessary authorities. The system works in synergy with the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA), ensuring the security and reliability of information.
Security and Verification via QR Code
Each digital card contains a unique QR code that allows competent authorities to quickly verify the authenticity of the document and confirm that it is officially issued by the Ministry of Islamic Affairs. This technology prevents counterfeiting and ensures reliable identification. The QR code can be scanned by any smartphone, making the verification process accessible and convenient. This approach meets international standards of digital security and enhances trust in the document from both authorities and citizens.
Improvement of Data and Statistics
The project is designed not only for the convenience of new Muslims but also for improving the quality of government data. The system allows the Ministry of Islamic Affairs to collect accurate information and generate detailed statistical reports. This data is critically important for planning and making strategic decisions at the state level. Automated data collection eliminates manual entry errors and ensures the completeness and relevance of the database. Thus, the innovation serves both the practical interests of citizens and the analytical needs of the state.
