Asim

Friday is a holy day in Islam, just like church on Sunday for Christians, we as Muslims go to the mosque. We go to pray and to listen to a sermon which provides a reminder for the week. Something to help keep you going, some motivation. A piece of advice. A truth, something important.

Society as…

News articles now have their own page which you can access through the read link. We generate summaries using AI.

There is now an MVP mailbox feature. You’ll see it in the top right. It’s a way to send messages directly to people. I’ve decided to keep this for admins and members first. Become a member.

Trying to make chat work on posts made no sense. Posts need comments. Its pretty standard stuff.

I was thinking a lot about public profiles. It’s a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it feels like we should live our lives a lot more privately, on the other hand, having a public profile can be useful to share thoughts, ideas, apps, etc.

The Reminder is another name for the Quran. You might see a card displaying various verses from it. Essentially it’s considered a message from God, a kind of news, informing us the way life should be lived, and what’s to come in the future.

I wrote an app that makes it easier to read and consume…

Al-Qalam - The Pen - 68:51-52

The disbelievers would almost cut you down with their eyes when they hear ˹you recite˺ the Reminder, and say, “He is certainly a madman.”

But it is simply a reminder to the whole world.

I’m in two minds about this. On the one hand, I think social platforms are terrible and we should avoid them at all costs (having been an avid user over a decade ago). And on the other hand, I feel they are a useful utility yet massively exploitive and addictive in a way that we have to do…

Bismillah. This is the first post.

May we be on the path of guidance.
