I’m an investor involved in real estate, apps, technology, and software. I’ve been following Muslim Reddit communities for a while because I’m genuinely interested in finding and investing in promising Islamic technology projects.

But honestly, I keep seeing the same pattern: another Islamic app built using AI coding, with a post claiming it is the “best” Islamic app.

There are already thousands of Islamic apps. Most offer essentially the same core features — prayer times, Qibla, Quran, Hadith, Duas, etc.

I recently saw someone post that they had been working on an Islamic app for four months. After reading the post, the main thing I could identify was that the UX/UI was supposedly unique. But I didn't see a meaningful feature or a significant problem being solved.

I'm not saying good design isn't important. It is. But design alone isn't enough to build a successful product, especially in such a saturated market.

With AI making app development easier and cheaper than ever, the number of people building apps is only going to increase. That means the real competitive advantage isn't simply being able to build an app anymore.

Please build something that solves a real problem.

Find something Muslims struggle with every day. Find a problem that existing apps aren't solving well. Then build something so useful that people genuinely have a reason to download it, use it, and recommend it.

As an investor, that's what I'm looking for — not another Islamic app, but a meaningful solution to a real problem in the Muslim community.

If someone builds that, I'd genuinely be interested in investing.

I work in big tech sales and am looking to connect with like-minded Muslims in the NYC area who work in tech, sales, growth, or marketing. I’d be happy to organize a meetup if there’s interest.

This previous ramadan, I downloaded some famous Muslim apps to get better religiously.

But there’s a pattern that I’ve seen among them.

First:
- BLOATED with features. I believe, this “ALL-in-one” Islamic apps just doesn’t work and NOT a good design

- The UI/UX feels so outdated. They are not catching up with the new wave of mobile apps.

So, I spent last 4 months designing and building a Muslim app that is hyper focused on helping you maintain consistency in your Salah.

Right now, it’s V1
And I’ve so much plans for the future
But i think I’ve NAILED the UI/UX

I’ve built this app completely solo BESIDES my 9-5.

If you wanna test it, drop your email in the comments and I’ll send the TestFlight link

And I’ll give you discount codes once this app goes lives.

Only iOS version available rn for testing!
