Sabha is a clean, minimal app for adhkar. The app is 100% free, and has no ads.

My favorite feature is their "duʿā assist” (click the link to see a demo), and I really like the tasbih function they’ve designed for smart watches.

Not all of us carry our tasbih everywhere, but we do have our phones on us, and increasingly wearing more smart watches — so why not use them for a beneficial purpose like the remembrance of Allah ﷻ?

But for those of you that do want to carry your tasbih everywhere along with your phone, check out Kaaf-Nun’s new phone accessory.

Kiswa (Masjid Al-Haram), Rawda (Masjid an-Nabawi), Blessed Land (Masjid Al-Aqsa)

Kaaf-Nun creates beautiful phone cases inspired by Islamic geometric patterns & architecture. They’ve just released a new collection, and each case comes with an optional stone-made tasbih.

Abdellatif Abdulfattah is the founder of Usul.ai, previously co-founding Tarteel. Here, he’s shared his best advice, on building products & companies for Muslims, covering things like;

  • 🤳 how to leverage social media

Rumi’s metaphor of The Blind Men and the Elephant

What is Islam? Is it simply the religion, and if so, what do we mean by Islamic culture, Islamic civilizations, and traditions? This definitional problem reveals deeper philosophical questions.

Caner Dagli (professor, and general editor of “The Study Quran”), introduces the concept of “metaphysical institutions”, and uses it to explore concepts like religion, tradition, culture, and the relationship between Islam & modernity.
