I am currently uploading the preprint to arXiv under cs.AI and am seeking an endorsement from an active researcher in the AI/provenance space. You can review the full paper and technical architecture via this Zenodo link: https://zenodo.org/records/21211291
Wanted to share this here because it sits right at the intersection of our tradition and modern tech, and I think the ummah has an underused edge in this space.
Modern AI systems have a trust problem: when a multi-agent system answers you, that answer has passed through several "hands" — a scraper, an ingestion model, a synthesis model — and each can drop, distort, or invent. The field can log what happened, but has no principled way to grade who transformed a claim and how much to trust the result.
If that sounds familiar, it should. Our scholars faced a structurally identical problem 1,200+ years ago with hadith transmission, and built arguably the most rigorous transmission-criticism methodology in pre-modern history: isnād (complete chain attached to every narration), rijāl (grading every narrator's ʿadālah and ḍabṭ), weakest-link evaluation, corroboration through independent chains, and naqd al-matn (criticizing content independently of the chain).
My paper transfers that methodology into AI system design — a graded registry of "narrators" (models, scrapers, sources), claim-level chains, and a decision matrix for what to serve, review, or quarantine.
No lab, no university, just an independent builder from Pakistan who's spent years standing in both worlds through Islam & AI. Sharing in case it inspires someone here to mine our tradition for ideas the rest of the field hasn't thought of yet.

Every Monday at my agency I'd open Gmail, Slack, ClickUp, HubSpot, Google Ads, and Calendar. Piece together which clients were at risk. Which campaigns had underperformed. Which renewals were coming up?
45 minutes to 3 hours at my highest hourly rate. Every single week.
So I built a system that does it automatically. It reads all those tools and produces one brief at 08:00 every Monday
Here's what it generated entropictech.io/brief
The time saved isn't the biggest change. It's not carrying the whole agency in my head anymore. Want to discuss its potential
Hi everyone, I’m looking for advice on a fraud case in Rawalpindi (Saddar area)
A person took around PKR 300k from me over multiple transactions for mobile phones but never delivered/refunded. I have full proof including bank transfer receipts, WhatsApp chats, voice notes where he keeps delaying and making excuses
I have already filed a complaint with the police (but they did not register an FIR) Current issue is he is avoiding me, blocking numbers, and not responding at all.
I want to ask
If anyone has advice or has gone through something similar please share thanks 🫰🏻
Will send you guys updates, seems like it can replace a lot of AI bills
I recently found out that a person in family has stage4 cancer, what do I do/say to the person’s kids .-.
I’ve asked people around me and they said to say nothing, and I mean, I want to say I’m here if you guys need any help. But I want to do something more. Helppp
Also, pray for her & family
Hello!
I have been working in the tech space for a couple of years, and I wanted to share a few pointers that’ll help y’all get remote jobs
It’s not a shortcut, there is none tbh, you’ll have to put in weeks of efforts and face loads of rejection before you get a win, but hey one win is all you need
To start off, open Claude/chatgpt, give it your background experience resume and ask to optimise it, make a online portfolio (free tools) and a posting structure which you can follow for the next couple of weeks (I’ll add the prompt at the end)
The above sets your inbound pipeline, it’ll take a couple of weeks to have this optimised and rank on Google & AIs, the goal here is to have everything you can do present online in 1-2 clicks, your name should be Google-able and your skills should be very visible along with your work and reviews by the people you have worked for/with
The second main thing is the outbound pipeline, go crazy here, there is no number which is going to be big here, aim for 20-50 job applications per day, you can get those from multiple platforms, one of the very main is jack&jill, it’ll help a lot, you should also use Workatastartup, Wellfound, workable, LinkedIn, Reddit, go everywhere where your user can be, even the CEOs of big companies scroll insta/tiktok, make sure you outreach everywhere and leave no stone unturned
For the people who already have a job, please please PLEASE use your time to optimise your inbound pipeline so that it’s easy for recruiters to find you for better opportunities. Whatever you’re doing just keep posting about it or updating your portfolio/linkedin/website on the work you’re doing
It’s hard to find jobs, it’s also hard for recruiters to find good candidates, I’ve been on both ends and you’ll be doing yourself a huge favour if you don’t take any job for granted and keep on working on yourself, your online presence and keeping up with the latest technology
It’s a brutal market out there, but there are still jobs, opportunities, people ready to pay if you can give them ease, find them and let yourself be findable
Best of luck ❤️
Prompt;
Act as a brutally honest career strategist.
Your job is to figure me out before giving advice.
Start by asking me targeted, one-by-one questions about: my background, real work, skills I can actually use, what I enjoy/ dislike, my current situation, and what I've already tried.
Challenge vague answers and ask follow-ups until you have clarity.
Once you understand me, give:
- the most realistic roles I should target now
- my strongest advantages and biggest gaps
- what I'm likely doing wrong or overestimating
- the fastest path for me to start earning
- a clear, practical 30-day plan
Be direct, specific, and honest. No generic advice.
Assume I'm slightly confused and might be wrong about myself - correct me if needed
So guys I have an idea and before I get into it I thought I’ll ask you guys
Imma get some cool stuff from thrift shops and make a online bidding store and put stuff there
The stuff their is really random, the ranges are old cardboard games, golf club set, vintage shot glasses, electronics, all loads of stuff which comes in containers
Anyway, what do you guys think, fun thing to try?
Also if I do, fun thing to post about on social media?
