Salams friends,

So OpenAI just released their Pro Level, charging $200/month. They must have lost their mind, just like they’ve lost their position as the best AI chatbot to Claude Sonnet.

Well, after many of you shared your challenges navigating the website, we’ve introduced a chatbot to help you find exactly what you need. So original rightt!! truly groundbreaking.

Check it out at the bottom right of MuslimHub.co & let me know how it works for you!

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 takfir me: yes, by no means can 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, a 45-volume Encyclopedia of Islamic Jurisprudence, and more.

So if you’re quickly looking for everyday, low-stakes questions that don’t require in-depth answers, I would recommend this service. Give it a try, 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 might be doing its best to reduce the buildings of Gaza to rubble, but they’ll never be able to defeat its people & culture, of which cuisine is an integral part.

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.

On this note, I’d like to end on a serious note.

Alhamdulillah, the tyrannical Assad regime has fallen. 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.
