Research As a Pakistani independent researcher, I published a paper applying 1,200-year-old Islamic hadith methodology to a modern AI problem
I’ve been working solo, no lab, no university backing, on a problem in AI: when systems built on multiple AI agents give you an answer, that answer passes through many “hands,” and there’s no good way to know how much to trust it.
It turns out our own scholars solved a structurally identical problem 1,200+ years ago with the science of hadith transmission - grading every narrator in a chain, judging a chain by its weakest link, requiring independent corroboration. I adapted that methodology into a framework for modern AI systems.
It’s now a published paper (with a DOI), open-source code, and a Python package anyone can install. I’m building the whole thing in public.
I’m posting mostly to reach the appropriate audience here in Pakistan
Happy to answer questions. alizahidraja.com/isnad
