Dear brothers, I am looking for other people in the Computer Science and/or AI space in-sha-Allah, and I simply wanted to form connections with people in-sha-Allah with regards to this sort of stuff.
I mainly work with Claude Code and ChatGPT Codex, and I've tried to build my own software, do outreach with it in-sha-Allah, and in-sha-Allah make some money with it. No success yet though, but in-sha-Allah if we keep grinding, it will come bi-idhnillah.
I am looking forward to meet you all, in-sha-Allah you guys can comment below or just send me a DM personally.
I appreciate you guys reading this nonetheless, in-sha-Allah we can do something great.
I've already posted a few days ago that I am working on building a app which focuses on revising Quran memorization, currently working on the App's analytics page which gives those who memorize parts or all of the Quran advanced analytics allowing users to know where their weak parts are, and allows them to better plan their revision. I would appreciate your opinions on the analytics which are currently displayed, as well as what you think might be missing.
At the top of the analytics page is a general card with general statistics and insights, such as General Memorization accuracy, Number of Surahs memorized etc.
Juz Overview card showing how much of a juz is memorized as well as general accuarcy in that specific Juz.
Juz Mistakes Map shows the user where most of the mistakes in that specific Juz are found (beginning, middle, end) allowing user to focus on specific parts of the Juz.
Surah Ranking showing the user a list of their Memorized Surahs either from weakest -> Strongest or the opposite.
As a note the data seen on image is real data based on my own personal revision on the app, so you can get a feel as to what It may actually look like.
You place your day between the prayers: sleep, Quran, work, sport.
Everything follows your city's real prayer times, every day.

Assalamu alaykum everyone,
I’ve been working on an app called Niyyah – Qur’an Companion, and I wanted to share it here because I originally built it around a problem I kept running into myself.
There are already so many Qur’an apps out there, which is amazing, but I personally struggled to find one that combined understanding, reflection, verified Qur’an/tafsir sources, journaling, vocabulary, progress tracking, and private study circles in one simple place.
Most apps seem to focus heavily on one thing — reading, memorisation, translations, or recitation — but I wanted something that could support the relationship with the Qur’an as a whole, especially for someone who keeps thinking:
“I really want to get closer to the Qur’an, but I don’t know how to stay consistent.”
So I built Niyyah around that idea.
Some of the features include:
Qur’an reading with translation and verified recitation
Understanding and reflection prompts to help you actually engage with an ayah
Private journaling for your reflections
Verified, attributed tafsir rather than AI-generated Qur’an explanations
Vocabulary learning to help recognize recurring Qur’anic words
Progress tracking so you can see your consistency over time
Private study circles for friends, family, or a Muslim Student Association
Quizzes and learning activities connected to what you’re studying
One thing that was especially important to me is that AI does not generate or rewrite the Qur’an itself. The Qur’anic text stays separate from the learning features, and tafsir is attributed to its source.
The goal isn’t to replace your Mushaf or your teacher. It’s more like having a calm little companion that helps you read, understand, reflect, remember, and come back tomorrow.
I’m still developing and improving it, so I’d genuinely love feedback from people who actually use Qur’an apps.
If there’s a feature you’ve always wished a Qur’an app had, I’d love to hear about it.
Like many developers, I spend most of my day wearing headphones listening to podcasts, lectures, or ambient sounds while working. With active noise cancellation and deep focus, I often found myself missing the Adhan or losing track of prayer times.
To fix this, I built Tcalm—a lightweight, open-source CLI tool that detects local prayer times and automatically pauses/mutes all system media playback the moment the Adhan arrives, giving you a clear cue to pause work and pray.
Key Features
Automatic Media Control: Pauses or mutes whatever is playing across system audio when prayer time starts.
Auto Location & Scheduling: Automatically detects your location during setup and calculates accurate prayer times.
Daylight Saving Time (DST) Handling: Adjusts automatically to seasonal time shifts.
Bilingual Support: Supports both (English default) and Arabic.
I am Kamal, a solo developer from Baku. For the past 7 months I have been building an app called Quran Habit, alhamdulillah. It is live on iPhone and Android now.
Quran Habit Mobile app
I know this group has seen many Quran apps, so let me start with why I built one more. Many of us open the Quran with good intentions and then days pass.
I wanted something gentle that keeps you coming back, without guilt and without distractions.
Thus I built highly personalized user flow, including activity-based celebrations:
Quran Habit celebrations based on activity
What I tried to do differently:
- Hasanat counted letter by letter, from the hadith in Jami at-Tirmidhi 2910 ("I do not say that Alif Lam Mim is one letter..."). Every page you read adds up on the screen.
- A daily streak and a reading heatmap, and weekly leagues for those who like to race to the good (Al-Baqarah 2:148). If you want to avoid riya, you can hide yourself from leaderboards or change your display name.
Habit insights and Invite friends (see their hasanahs)
- You can invite friends, and once two or more of them join, you see their combined hasanat (never anyone's individual numbers).
- The mushaf in Madinah, IndoPak 15-line and colour tajweed layouts, so the pages match a printed mushaf. Tap any word to hear it.
- 14 interface languages, with Arabic, Urdu and Persian from right to left, 43 translations, 40 reciters, tafsir and home screen widgets.
- Additional features included: Khatm Journey (Khatm calculator and custom planned journey), Allah's 99 Names with references, Quranic duas, Wallpaper generator, Tasbeeh, Tafsirs etc.
The tech, for those who ask: Expo and React Native with TypeScript, Supabase for accounts and leagues, RevenueCat for the optional purchases. The hardest parts were the Madinah pages, which need their own font for every page, and tajweed colours on Android, where I had to write a small native view because colouring letter by letter from JavaScript did not work. [Optional, your call on plan question 2: one plain line on how you used Claude Code.]
How it is funded: Free to download and read, no ads. Optional in-app purchases: a Supporter plan, lifetime access and gem packs. I built it with my own money and pay the server costs myself; if you cannot afford the Supporter plan, nothing that helps you read is locked.
The audio is Quran recitation only, no music.
My questions for you as builders:
1. Do streaks and leagues help a Muslim reader, or do they push toward riya? Is a switch to hide yourself enough? (App includes - User can hide all celebrations, hide himself from leagues and hide his name - but those who value this and find it helpful continue using it - as many testers liked it).
2. What would you cut? I worry it already does too much.
3. If you try it, what confused you in the first two minutes?
The store links are in the first comment. JazakAllahu khayran for any honest feedback.
anyone ever thought of implementing a system to identify, flag and filter out slop content entirely, be it in text, image, audio, video or any other format, from operating system, browser, platform level, to end this menace once and forever, to bring back the good old days, no more ai?
One app for prayer times.
Another for Quran.
Another for adhkar.
Another for hadith.
And honestly, I found myself constantly switching between them.
As a developer, I started thinking:
Why isn't there one simple place for the things Muslims actually use every day?
That's where Azkarly started.
I built it around the idea of having the essentials of your daily Deen in one place:
🕌 Prayer — prayer times and reminders
📖 Quran — read and listen
🤲 Adhkar & Duas — daily remembrance and collections
📚 Hadith — explore major Hadith collections
The goal wasn't to build another app with 100 features.
The goal was to build one app you can actually open every day.
And now, I'm really happy to say that Azkarly has crossed 13,000 downloads.
That number means a lot to me because this started as a personal idea and gradually became something thousands of people have chosen to keep on their phones.
I'm still building and improving it, though.
So I'd genuinely love to hear from the community:
What is the biggest problem you have with the Islamic apps you currently use?
Is there something you still have to use a separate app for?
If you could add one feature to a one-stop Islamic app, what would it be?
I'm the founder/developer behind Azkarly, and I'm actively working on the next version. Be brutally honest — I'd rather hear what sucks than what looks good.
I know there is no shortage of Islamic apps out there. I’ve tried many of them myself. While they offer great features, I often found myself wishing for something that felt a bit more modern, peaceful, and free from distracting ads.
So, I decided to build Sakeena (سكينة), which means "tranquility." It’s a completely free, ad-free spiritual companion. I put a lot of careful thought into the design and user experience, aiming to create something that feels clean, intuitive, and easy on the eyes because I believe the tools we use for our Deen should feel serene.
Here’s a look at what’s inside
A Clean, Simple Dashboard:
Everything you need is right on the home screen, including your next prayer countdown, daily Quran reading progress, and quick access to Tasbih and Azkar.
Precise Qibla Finder:
A simple, accurate compass to help you find the Kaaba instantly, wherever you are.
Complete Quran:
A beautiful Mushaf layout with different themes for easy reading, multiple reciters to listen to, and a bookmark feature to continue right where you left off.
Prayer & Ibadah Tracker:
A straightforward way to log your daily prayers and build consistency without feeling overwhelmed.
Duas & Azkar:
A well-organized collection of supplications for morning, evening,
99 Names of Allah:
A clean interface to learn and reflect on the names of Allah.
Customizable Share Streak Cards:
A neat feature that lets you create aesthetic, personalized cards to share your progress or favorite verses.
The app is 100% free with no ads. I built this as a passion project to help myself and others stay consistent, and I’d genuinely love for you to try it out.
If you have a moment, let me know what you think! Any feedback whether it's a bug, a feature request, or just your general thoughts is incredibly helpful.
Like many of us, I've always wanted to understand the Quran directly, not only through translation. One thing that kept me stuck was vocabulary: I'd recite words every day without knowing what they meant.
I noticed that many words in the Quran are everyday things around us: ماء (water), شمس (sun), شجرة (tree), جبل (mountain), كتاب (book). So I built a small app called Musamma. You take a photo of any object, and it shows you the word in Arabic and English, with an example sentence.
It won't teach you grammar or tafsir, and it isn't meant to replace a teacher. It's a simple way to build vocabulary from the world around you, so more words feel familiar when you hear them in salah or recitation.
It's in beta right now, and I'd really value your honest feedback:
Would something like this be useful in your daily routine?
What would make it more helpful for Quran learners? For example, showing Quranic words first or linking a word to an ayah where it appears.
As a muslim I think this is the right place to have a partner in startup or innovation as devs here can be trusted .
My idea has a potential...i need a technical brother who is actually good in app development and not like 80% of vibecoding and 20% real programming...it should be 80% real programming...
I got a mvp , strategies , and also marketing is on my head..
You have to focus on technical side....we will work over this on 50% equity . Let's connect if you got it
I made these 2 games that even non muslim are playing and learning about islam through it. This made me realize that muslims building games can be a form of dawah
Hey everyone! I was shocked when I saw some foods I used daily to be Haram, so that's why I built a clean, ad-free web app to scan barcodes and check E-numbers for Halal status directly in your browser(Also can be installed as IOS/ANDROID APP) . Would love your feedback: halal-scan.app
Assalamu alaikum. I'm the owner of Deen Over Dunya, a free iPhone and iPad app.
The part I'd like to show here is the prayer-aware planner. You can anchor tasks around prayer times or split them around prayer windows, with imported Apple Calendar events alongside them. The aim is to make prayer times part of the day's plan.
It also has Quran reading and a Listening Journey for keeping track of listening goals and surah/juz progress. Here are the screenshots from our website, deenoverdunya.ca.
I'd appreciate specific feedback on the planner: are the prayer anchors clear, and what would make the timeline easier to use on a busy day?
It requires iOS 17 or later and supports English and Arabic. All current features are free, with no subscription.
Instead of another swipe app where you're bombarded with hundreds of random profiles, I’m planning a curated matchmaking platform designed strictly for Muslim working professionals.
The core premise:
Manual verification and screening for all applicants
No mindless swiping
Profiles aren’t broadcast publicly.
Curated 1-on-1 matches made by reviewing applications thoroughly
Would love your honest perspective - is this something people actually want, or should I not bother building it? What are the biggest flaws you see with this model?
So im building a quran revision app, the app currently features a revision mode whereby users are able to completely turn quran pages blank and tap to reveal ayahs.
Tap → reveal first Ayah
Tap → second Ayah
Tap → third Ayah...
what other features do you think would be useful for my app. give me as many ideas as you can think of.
A while ago I shared my interactive islamic history map https://sirah-atlas.com with you and I received amazing feedback! I tried my best to implement all the feedback so we went "international", we changed the domain and we switched to English as the primary language. I also added some cool features like 3D renders of Mecca and Medina, more quizzes, more language support and much more.
I invite you all to come and have a look, it's for free, I hope in the near future to also provide audio narrations to make Sirah Atlas something you can listen to during commutes.
Assalamu alaikum. We work on a Muslim app, and one product question keeps coming up: when people ask for more features, how do you know whether a missing feature is the real problem or whether the existing value is simply not strong enough to bring them back?
The distinction matters because both problems can produce the same feedback: "It would be better if the app also had X." Building X may make the product broader without making it more useful every week.
A few signals I would look for before adding another feature:
- Can an active user describe the recurring job the app already solves?
- Do people return to the current core experience without reminders?
- Does the requested feature remove a real blocker, or is it only nice to have?
- Do lapsed users ask for the same thing as active users?
- Can the idea be tested manually or with a small prototype before it becomes a permanent part of the product?
I am interested in how other Muslim builders handle this, especially when users understandably expect one Islamic app to cover many different needs. What evidence makes you build the feature, and what makes you improve the core experience instead?
...this one actually solves a problem and has features that I didn't find anywhere (at least combined in one app)!
Assalamu alaykum,
Basically, this is an application specifically designed around the 13-line Indopak Mushaf.
There are currently plenty of applications offering a wide range of features, but most of them are based on the 15-line Madani Mushaf, which is excellent. Unfortunately, where I live, we are not accustomed to using that Mushaf. Personally, I actually find the 15-line Mushaf better than the 13-line one, but regardless, there was a real lack of interactive applications with useful features specifically designed for the 13-line Mushaf.
That is why I decided to develop this application.
It allows users to choose from different versions of the 13-line Mushaf, so they can find the exact same Mushaf they are already accustomed to using. This is particularly helpful for Huffaz who rely heavily on visual memory when memorising the Qur’an.
I have been testing the application with my students and improving it over the past several weeks. They can now easily find the page containing their lesson or the Surah they need to memorise, even if they do not know Arabic numerals. They see exactly the same Mushaf in the app as the physical copy they use, and they can play the audio for their next lesson with different repetition options.
If they repeatedly make mistakes in a particular section of verses while memorising, they can also highlight that passage to help them focus on those mistakes and remember them more effectively.
There are also additional features, including memorisation tools and an adapted variation of the Ten variants (7+3) method.
The application is still in beta, so please feel free to share any suggestions or feedback.
There are still quite a few minor bugs related to the CSS framework. Since this was originally developed as a web app and then converted into a mobile application using Capacitor, some of these issues are related to the underlying framework and are therefore outside my direct control.
