Salams friends,

As Muslims, we've always found what we need by asking — a friend, a scholar, someone who's been there. Many of you told us finding what you need as a Muslim was harder than it should be.

Now, you can ask our directory. We’ve added a chatbot right into MuslimHub.co (you’ll find it on the bottom right of your screen), to help you find exactly what you're looking for. Give it a go, and let me know if it helps!

Learn how to apply AI

On that note, check out the latest insights from Dr. Waleed Kadous on how to leverage AI.

I also want to highlight Ansari, an AI assistant that Dr. Kadous has built to help non-Muslims understand Islam and Muslims to practice their faith more effectively.

Now before you yell haram: by no means can a HadithGPT replace a shaykh. But people are already using ChatGPT to answer questions about Islam, and God only knows the quality of sources it’s trained on & the biases it has.

Ansari on the other hand is trained on the Qur’an, multiple tafasir, books of Hadith, and a 45-volume Encyclopedia of Islamic Jurisprudence.

So if you’re quickly looking to have your everyday questions answered, I wholeheartedly recommend this service. You’ll be surprised at how good it is!

Product Of The Week 

I want to start this new section of the newsletter where I highlight my favorite product of the week.

This candle holder (that also functions as a base for other things e.g decorative signs) caught my eye because of its tasteful incorporation of an Islamic geometric pattern.

It’s made by Rasm, which creates these unique home decor items, inspired by Islamic civilizations. Check ‘em out!

Gazan Recipes

The Israeli government is working to erase Gaza — its history, its memory, its people. Cuisine is one of the places culture survives. Keep it alive in your kitchen.

The Gaza Kitchen offers a deep dive into the distinct flavors of Gazan cuisine with over 130 recipes, showcasing a vibrant food culture shaped by the region's history and resilience.

Beyond recipes, the book shares the personal stories of chefs, illustrating how Gaza's cuisine is intertwined with the region's identity, featuring stunning photographs that capture its rich culinary heritage.

Here’s a great video about Laila El-Haddad, and food culture & history in Gaza.

While one darkness deepens, another has lifted. The Assad regime has fallen, alhamdulillah.

May Allah give Syria peace, just rule and prosperity in the days ahead. Please consider supporting the Syrian rebuilding effort;

The greatest ally to Palestine & Gazans will also be a strong Sunni state in Syria. May Allah create that thriving nation, and let the Syrian victory stand as a testament that no matter how long the oppressors have been in power, and however strong they may seem — victory & defeat is in the hands of Allah ﷻ.
