Mobile Quran apps that provide features for enabling reading the Quran and interacting with other add-ons prolific events, like an easy and fast surah index list, efficient search features and many more need to be protected. Any attempt that could compromise the originality of the content of the Quran which is built for mobile apps needs to be identified.Unfortunately the security vulnerabilities within these features that convey the contents of the Quran are not clear, and there is a lack of noticeable security threats and vulnerabilities from previous studies.This paper examine the category of mobile Quran app and investigates its security threats and vulnerabilities.The outcome indicates measures to ensure that end users get the mobile Quran apps they need without compromising their privacy.
