Islam & AI
Islamic knowledge, answered with sources you can check.
The Islamic knowledge platform I founded. Live today as a focused assistant and installable web app — now with Halaqa Groups, private study circles you share with friends — plus native iOS & Android apps (built in Expo) in store review and a rebuilt backend on DeepSeek.
A knowledge platform, not a chatbot that guesses
Live today The assistant
A focused LLM assistant for Islamic questions. Every answer carries a citation to the source it came from — a Qur'an verse, a hadith, a scholarly reference — so you can check it yourself instead of trusting a confident paragraph.
Live today Halaqa Groups
Private, invite-only study circles. Create one, share the code, and every question and referenced answer posts to a shared thread — the 1,400-year-old halaqa, rebuilt as software. One Pro member lifts the cap for the whole circle.
In development Backend + mobile apps
RAG over the Qur'an + 600k+ hadith, multilingual NLP, OCR, memory, and deep research — plus native iOS & Android apps (built in Expo, in store review). Not query-time chunk retrieval — a knowledge base where contradictions get settled before they reach you.
Live today Paid tiers & API dashboard
Free core chat stays free forever. Paid tiers — Lite $20/yr, Pro $50/yr, Benefactor $100/yr — and one tier lets you buy access for someone who can't pay (sadaqah jariyah). There's also a paid API and dashboard at api.islamandai.com so developers can build on the same source-cited engine.
Built to refuse to fabricate
References, not generated Arabic
Scripture is never regenerated from a model's weights. It is retrieved and cited — because a paraphrase of the Qur'an is not the Qur'an.
No rulings
This is an educational resource, not a fatwa service. Where scholars disagree, the disagreement is shown rather than hidden — and hard questions are pointed back to qualified scholars.
Not just chat — memory and deep research (coming soon)
Everyone ships chat. The differentiators are memory and deep, detailed research on a paid tier — understanding what a user has asked before, and doing the multi-source work a single answer can't.
Two lines of work became ISNAD
Islam & AI existed first — an Islamic knowledge platform. Separately, I spent years engineering multi-agent AI systems. The trust problem the product surfaced, combined with that systems work, is what merged into ISNAD — the open-source framework that grades every agent and model in a claim's transmission chain, adapted from 1,200 years of hadith science.
The product asked "should I trust this answer?" The framework answers it.
Where it stands
Bootstrapped, with paid tiers now live. Declined multiple acquisition offers. Built as a Microsoft Imagine Cup participant and grown from Pakistan to 190+ countries.
