In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

My Story

All praise is due to Allāh Glory be to Him who allowed me to start this website back in 2014 (1435H). Without His permission, this would not have been possible.

This website began as a personal project to deepen my understanding of the Qurʾān. As I delved into tafseer, memorization, and revision, I wanted a place to organize what I was learning. My crave for the knowledge of Islam then led me to discover the ways of the Salaf, sciences of tafseer and ḥadīth and, Alhamdulillah, I fell in love with the knowledge. The site has since grown, and I continue to expand its offerings to benefit the global Muslim community.

About the Author

This website is managed by me, Abu Musa Majid. It is dedicated to spreading the message of Islam according to the Qur'an, the Sunnah (the teachings and practices of Prophet Muḥammad ﷺ), the way of the righteous predecessors, and the esteemed scholars who followed them. To ensure transparency and allow for independent verification, I always provide citations. This also allows you, the reader, to inform me of any corrections needed.

My creedal understanding is reflected in classical texts such as al-ʻAqīdah al-Ṭaḥāwīyah and al-‘Aqīdah al-Wāsiṭīyah. I draw upon the works of great classical scholars, including Imam al-Tahawi, Imam al-Tabari, Imam al-Nawawi, and Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, among many others. I strive to select the best from their works and from the Four Schools of thought—that which is most in agreement with the Qurʾān and Sunnah. I also acknowledge that no scholar is free from error and excuse their mistakes.

I also look to the senior scholars of our time for guidance and verdicts based on their deep knowledge and piety, such as Shaykh ‘Abdurahman al-Sa’di, Shaykh ‘Abdulaziz Ibn Baz, Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen, Shaykh al-Albani, Shaykh Shuayb al-Arna’ut, Shaykh Ahmad Shakir, Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan, Shaykh Salih Ali al-Shaykh, Shaykh Mohammed Saeed Raslan, and the Permanent Committee for Scholarly Research and Ifta. If they are correct, I follow them. If they have erred, I ask Allāh to forgive them and reward them for their Ijtihād (scholarly effort in seeking the truth). In accordance with the confirmed Sunnah, I pray for the guidance of our Muslim political leaders, even if they are oppressive, and I do not incite rebellion against them.

Ultimately, anything good and true you find here comes from Allāh Almighty and His Messenger ﷺ. Any errors or falsehoods are from myself, my own ignorance, and Satan. I seek refuge in Allāh from the accursed Devil, so that he does not misguide me or cause me to misguide others.

My Motivation

Every project needs a driving force. My primary motivation, beyond seeking the spiritual reward of sadaqa-tul jaariyaa (ongoing charity), is a commitment to authenticity. I aim to help Muslims strengthen their connection to the true teachings of Islam.

In today's world, especially with the rise of social media, misinformation can cloud one's natural disposition (fitrah). I am dedicated to offering the most authentic knowledge, rooted in the Noble Qur'an, the Ahaadith, and the understanding of the early righteous predecessors.

Today, the site serves thousands of users like you worldwide. People visit for various purposes, and I've built tools to help you create a personalized experience:

Study with Confidence: Search the Ahaadith of our beloved Prophet ﷺ and research Islamic topics, knowing the information is based on authentic Sunni traditions.
Personalize Your Learning: Bookmark important Qur'anic verses and Ahaadith. You can also create your own personal collections of verses, narrations, and articles to easily find what matters most to you.
Track Your Qur'an Journey: Use the personalized trackers to manage your Qur'an memorization and revision. The revision tool, supported by AI, even offers personalized suggestions on which Surah to revise next, tailored to your progress.
Read Trusted Content: Access clear, well-researched articles backed by authentic sources, with all citations provided.

In sha' Allāh, I will continue to expand the site's features to further benefit the Muslim community and help non-Muslims discover the truth of Islam. I ask Allāh Glory be to Him to accept this effort from me and from everyone who has contributed to the project.

My Objectives

From the beginning, my objectives have been clear. This website exists to:

Offer an ad-free platform for authentic Islamic resources.
Invest in technology that benefits Muslims worldwide.
Develop a powerful search engine that easily distinguishes authentic narrations from weak ones.
Provide clear articles based on pure Sunni traditions.
Continuously refine the data to remove incorrect information and fix errors.
Allow content to be printed for sharing in your local community.
Ensure your user data is secure. I will never share your personal information with anyone.

My Commitment to Authenticity

Authenticity is the cornerstone of this website, and I take this responsibility with the utmost seriousness. I believe that knowingly providing inauthentic information would be a betrayal of Islam.

I make every effort to ensure that all resources—from tafseers to Ḥadīth and articles—are authentic. I have removed several resources in the past after careful research and consultation with scholars and individuals of greater knowledge and piety.

Here are some examples of this commitment:

I do not include Tanwīr al-Miqbās min Tafsīr Ibn ′Abbās, which is often falsely attributed to Ibn ′Abbās , as it may contain fabricated narrations.
I only use the introductory details from Tafheem-ul-Qurʾān by Syed Abul Ala Maududi. The full tafseer is not included due to its criticism of 'Uthmān and other highly problematic views.
I provide the unaltered translation of The Holy Qurʾān by Abdullah Yusuf Ali, but his footnotes are not included due to serious creedal issues highlighted by scholars.

I understand that not everyone may agree with these decisions. My goal is not to create division but to unite Muslims around authentic traditions.

As a human being, I am not infallible. If you find any content that you believe is inauthentic, please contact me via email with your evidence. I will promptly review the issue and take corrective action.
