Salam everyone,

I'm looking for 12 Android testers to help me push my app from closed testing to production on the Play Store. Google requires 12 testers opted in for 14 consecutive days, so consistency matters more than heavy usage.

What the app is:

Green Grass is a verified Muslim community app. Verification badges(gold for imams/masjids, green for masjid verified members, silver for family of green badges) keep the community accountable.

What I need from you

- Android phone, signed in to Google Play

- Opt in to the closed test and keep the app installed for 14 days

- Open it now and then for all 14 days, even just a few seconds counts toward Google's 14 day rule

- Feedback is welcome but not required

- Happy to return the favor and test your app, drop the link in a comment.

How to join

1. Reply or DM with your Gmail (the one tied to your Play Store account)

2. I'll add you to the tester list

3. I'll send you the app link

Thanks in advance.

Salaam everyone,

we've recently launched an app called Ikhtiar — a platform built for Muslims who are serious about marriage,

Unlike typical apps, Ikhtiar focuses on:

* Respectful and Serious users from across the world

* Privacy-first options (including profiles without photos) for women

* A structured and serious approach toward finding a spouse

* Free for first 1000 users

The goal is simple: to make the process of finding a spouse more dignified, intentional, and aligned with our Islamic values.

If you or someone you know is looking for marriage, I’d really appreciate you checking it out and sharing it with others who may benefit.

JazakAllah Khair for your support 🤍

You can find the app here :

I’ve been following Sukoon Life for a bit (friend of the founder), and I genuinely think it’s one of the most unique directions I’ve seen in the Muslim app space in a while.

Most Islamic apps are the usual:
prayer times, Quran, reminders, tasbeeh, all useful, but nothing new anymore.

Sukoon Life is doing something completely different.

It’s basically focused on helping Muslims handle conflict and emotional situations better and according to the Quran and Sunnah, especially things like family arguments, marriage tension, or moments where you might say something you regret.

What makes it stand out:

-It’s actually built around real-life emotional situations, not just “Islamic utilities”

-The AI is designed to be grounded in Quran/Sunnah context and doesnt hallucinating random advice, they have like 8 authentic hadiths INSIDE the app. You can select and deselect which ones you want to use in your guidance.

-The “Conflict” features are surprisingly practical — it’s less about theory, more about what to actually say/do in the moment

-The UI/experience feels very modern compared to most Islamic apps

Also, from what I’ve seen, they’re growing really fast recently, especially on Instagram (@sukoonlifeapp), where their content is avrg 1 to 1.5 M views a month.

What I find interesting is that it doesn’t feel like they’re trying to be a “super app” or replace everything else, they’ve just picked one very specific, overlooked problem and gone deep on it.

Curious what others here think, ofcourse I am trying to help them with feedback and help Muslims have better tech overall.

Either way, it feels like a pretty fresh direction in Muslim tech. Lmk what you guys think Inshallah Jzk

Assalamualaikum ورحمة الله وبركاته brothers and sisters,

For the last 4 months, I’ve been building an Islamic mobile app called AKHERAH completely on my own.

I didn’t start this project as a business idea.

I started it because I personally struggled with consistency in Salah for a very long time.

I would miss prayers, feel guilty afterwards, promise myself I would improve, and then slowly fall back into the same cycle again.

And honestly, I realized that many Muslims silently struggle with this too.

Most Islamic apps today mainly focus on prayer times, reminders, or content consumption. But I wanted to build something that genuinely helps Muslims build consistency, reconnect emotionally with Allah, and make prayer feel spiritually meaningful again.

So I began designing and developing Akherah from the ground up by myself.

The app is focused on creating a calm, immersive, and spiritually uplifting experience that helps Muslims stay connected to their daily prayers in a more intentional way.

Alhamdulillah, after months of work, the Android version is nearing completion and the iOS version is also progressing well.

At this stage, I’m trying to continue development properly and bring the project to completion in the best way possible In Sha Allah.

That’s why I wanted to reach out to the community.

If anyone would like to support the project financially, even a small amount, it would sincerely help me continue building Akherah, completing the development, and eventually bringing it to more Muslims around the world.

And honestly, even if you cannot donate, your duas alone would mean a lot to me.

I truly hope this project can become something beneficial for the Ummah and a source of ongoing reward (Sadaqah Jaariyah) for everyone who helps support it in any way.

May Allah reward you all immensely and make us all more consistent in our Salah.

جزاكم الله خيرًا

We are heartbroken by the attack on the Islamic Center of San Diego, which took the lives of three members of the community in an act of anti-Muslim hate.

Among them was Amin Abdullah, the mosque's security guard and a father of eight, who stood between the shooters and more than a dozen children and staff in the school inside. Police have called his actions heroic. He saved lives.

We unequivocally condemn this attack and every form of hatred and violence targeting people because of their faith. Houses of worship must be places of safety for all.

A verified LaunchGood campaign has been organized by the Islamic Center of San Diego and CAIR-SD to support Amin's wife and eight children. If you are able, please consider giving:

May his courage inspire us all.

Is it permissible to make a website for a restaurant that sells alcohol? I would not mention that they sell alcohol on the website, and I would also not include the drinks part of the menu. They dont use any pork meat.

One thing I keep noticing with Muslim businesses is this constant struggle between growth and staying true to Islamic values.

A lot of business owners genuinely want to keep things halal, but the moment they start learning marketing, they’re told they need to:

Use music in every reel

Follow inappropriate trends

Overhype products

Use manipulative marketing tactics

Copy whatever gets attention online

And after a while, compromising starts feeling “normal” just to compete.

I’ve spoken to people who literally feel uncomfortable with their own content but continue because they think there’s no other way to grow.

That honestly pushed me into focusing on halal digital marketing myself.

I work with businesses on things like:

halal content creation

websites

branding

editing

social media management

performance marketing

all while trying to avoid haram elements and keeping the approach aligned with Islamic values as much as possible.

And what I’ve learned is: Halal marketing is definitely harder because you have to be more creative and intentions but it’s not impossible.

In fact, a lot of Muslim businesses are just looking for someone who understands both marketing and deen without making them feel like they have to compromise to succeed.

Curious to hear from other Muslim business owners here:

Have you ever felt pressured to compromise just for growth?

What’s the hardest part about marketing your business while staying within Islamic boundaries?

Do you think halal focused marketing services are needed more today?

Assalamu alaikum,

Im a software developer from Canada and have a couple ideas I'm working on, but whenever i try to find people to help me, they quickly lose interest.

I need someone who's serious and committed, preferably someone who is technical or has marketing skills.

Some ideas im working on:

1. App that applies for you, and keeps track of resumes.

2.Saas for immigration consultants in Canada

If you have any ideas for problems people have and need help, let me know, I'm also willing to help. The first step would be to validate the idea

Assalamualaikum,

I am from Indian Occupied Kashmir (IOK). We have recently launched a platform, an independent, fully anonymous hyperlocal citizen journalism platform for Kashmiris. The goal is to give people in the Valley a safe space to share ground realities, local issues, civic problems, human rights concerns, and news without fear, bias, or pressure from any side. The site is already live.

Why I'm posting here:
In IOK, the situation for independent voices has become very difficult. Authorities are cracking down hard on journalists and anyone speaking truth. We are genuinely frightened of repercussions. That's why the platform is built with strong anonymity, posters don't need to reveal their identity.

I need 2-3 trusted, mature, and reliable brothers/sisters from the following countries to join the administration team as moderators/admins:

Pakistan, China, Iran, Russia, Turkey, Malaysia, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, UAE or Qatar.

Reason: These are the countries where Indian authorities have limited or no effective mutual legal assistance/data-sharing cooperation in sensitive political matters. This helps ensure that even if authorities try to trace the admin team, they cannot easily obtain real identities or data of the Kashmiri posters. We want the main (visible) moderators to be from these jurisdictions so there is no trace of any Kashmiri admin on the platform.

What I need:
I am a moderator myself and will handle most of the day-to-day work (deleting spam, comments, fake news etc. InshaAllah). You will mainly be the official/majority moderators on paper. You won't need to do heavy moderation work.

This is purely voluntary for now. The platform is small, but most Kashmiris (including myself) are very frightened to move forward without trusted moderators from these countries. If you have good judgment, patience, maturity, and genuinely care about giving Kashmiris a safe voice, without pushing any specific agenda, please reach out.

DM me here on Reddit or we can move to Telegram for more details.

JazakAllah khair.

Assalamu Alaikum brothers and sisters. I'm a revert Muslim Alhamdulillah. I'm from Romania but living in France. Was thinking couple of times to create a service, SaaS or something what can help us in this countrie but honestly I don't know what would work and what actually is missing. I know ismalic finance is a big pain for us cuz I looked for a couple of months to find something to finance a business ideea, also to buy a car but unfortunately I couldn't find anything. Based on my long researches is very difficult to create Islamic finance in European countries due to the law, legal processes, etc. So my question for you guys is, what we are really needing? What would benefit us? I would really appreciate it if this post gets lot of opinions. I'm really curious about your vision brothers. JazakAllahu khairan brothers and sisters. May Allah guide us toward halal rizq and beneficial projects for the Ummah. 🤝🤲☪️

Amano Labs just posted a video yesterday about their $20 hearing aid, and it blew my mind.

The company is building an ultra-low-cost hearing device inspired by the mechanics of the human ear. Traditional hearing aids can cost thousands, often because the product is tied to expensive electronics, clinical fitting, insurance complexity, and legacy distribution. Amano is trying to pull that cost down dramatically with a custom-fit, 3D-printed device focused on mechanical sound amplification.

https://preview.redd.it/ozktzc1pn41h1.png?width=1755&format=png&auto=webp&s=31a128293f4ee7ee03cc86a26346a939ebeefd59

The product itself is interesting because it takes the opposite approach of most hearing tech. Instead of starting with microphones, processors, Bluetooth, batteries, and speakers, Amano starts with the ear’s own mechanical design. Their device is described as an ultra-low-cost, 3D-printed sound amplification device, with acoustic tuning around speech frequencies, a machine-learning sizing process to better match the geometry of the user’s ear, and output limits meant to avoid unsafe over-amplification. The bet is that for many people who need basic hearing support, especially as a bridge before full clinical care, a simpler custom-fit acoustic device could solve enough of the problem at a radically lower cost.

Arish & Ramin

What makes Amano more compelling is the team behind it: young technical founders with real urgency, real taste, and a clear obsession with making hearing care accessible.

Arish Shahab is a McMaster iBioMed student who previously won the healthcare category at HackPrinceton for Synovia, an AI surgical planning tool that acted like a “flight simulator for brain surgery.” That alone tells you he’s been thinking at the intersection of healthcare, engineering, and software before Amano.

Ramin Syed came through mechanical engineering at McMaster and originally thought he’d work on cars. Now he’s in San Francisco helping build Amano’s purely mechanical hearing device, with the team testing multiple iterations and preparing pilot deployments.

The third cofounder, Aaron Yu, has been helping push the clinical side forward, framing Amano as a bridge to hearing care for underserved patients through low-cost, 3D-printed sound amplification devices.

The problem is massive as well. WHO estimates nearly 2.5 billion people could have some degree of hearing loss by 2050. In the U.S. alone, tens of millions of adults report hearing loss, but only a fraction of the people who could benefit from hearing aids actually use them.

Amano is still early, and because this touches hearing care, thier validation and success will come from pilots, clinical feedback, safety, outcomes, and regulatory clarity.

But as builders, they're doing everything right: take a massive access problem, strip out unnecessary cost, and build something useful for the people the current system leaves behind.

You can preorder the device on their website for $20. I myself just preordered one for a loved one.

I see most of Muslim developers make Quran apps, hadees apps which is good but we need to think more broaden.

We need our own hosting providors.

We need our own Fiverr/ Upwork alternative.

We need our own Amazon alternative.

We need our AI like chatgpt, Claude.

We need our own online payment providors like stripe, polar, lemon squeezy.

We need interest-free banking system.

There is a very long list I can share. We as a Muslim totally depends on west platforms. Start from small. But start.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum my dear sisters

I’m a WordPress web designer currently looking for my first client and would love to work with a Muslimah-owned business, brand, or project.

I create clean, simple, halal-compliant websites with a focus on modest presentation and easy customer experience.

If you’re a Muslimah business owner looking for a website or planning to improve your online presence, feel free to reach out in shā’ Allāh. I’d be happy to share my portfolio/demo work.

Jazākillāhu khayran for reading
