Our Story

“May Allah brighten the face of a person who hears a tradition from us and he memorizes it until he can convey it to others. Perhaps he will convey it to one who understands better than him, and perhaps one who conveys knowledge does not understand it himself.”

It all started with this Hadith, narrated by Zayd ibn Thabit, and collected in Sunan Abī Dāwūd 3660. What you will find on these pages are not from me, the knowledge is from Allah as relayed by His friends. I can only hope to join them by being in their service.

Sacred knowledge & skillful Application

The purpose of this project is to increase accessibility to sacred knowledge as well as to reduce the barrier for beginners on this path, especially for converts or new Muslims. Currently the focus is on etiquette and dhikr. Over time we hope to create helpful language learning resources, audiobooks and more!

At this moment, I am a team of one. I am no one of interest, I’m not a scholar, or a shaykh. I’m just a traveler who has had the opportunity to benefit from the generosity of those who have gone before me. I seek to faithfully share what I have gathered without coloring it with my opinions or interpretations. 

If anything that I have shared is in error, please forgive me and extend the generosity to report any issues you may find so that we can continue to equip one other with the best maps and tools on this path to seeking Allah’s pleasure.

Whatever is of benefit is from Allah and anything which is lacking is from me. May Allah guide us and keep us on the straight path, grant us knowledge which is of benefit and guide us toward its skillful application.
