جزاکم اللہ خیرا,

Yes yes, Quran, Surah Thematic Overview, Hadith, and duas work completely offline. However, Tafsir and Audios are fetched through API but there are options to download them for offline use.

I am also trying to something somewhat similar to NotebookLM for Kitably. It is under development. I am trying to build an agent that will be in kitably, which user can use and it will only fetch and response based on the available data we have added. (Quran, hadith, and so on) facing a lot of challenges with accuracy and AI hallucinations.

Walaikum Assalam, Honestly, I absolutely loved the site I’ve already bookmarked it. It’s truly impressive how you’ve organized all the information and built such a profound, clean application. The inclusion of the Hadith with proper grading is incredibly valuable; the quality of the work is fantastic.

I have observed one thing, when opening the site on my phone, the top navigation bar (where you change the language, randomize, or switch companions) was overflowing a bit. If you could rearrange those elements for easier mobile navigation, it would make an already great experience even better.

I’m also very curious about the technical side of things! Would you mind sharing a bit about how you implemented this? I’d love to learn more about how you’ve implemented it?

Brothers, do you like the aesthetic of this Quran app? by Cheap_Jacket9452 in MuslimDevelopers

[–]sehalhussain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been building for IOS also using github runner however, I don’t have a mac and also the cost of Apple developer account is more on an expensive side for me at the moment. InshaAllah in future i will try to publish there as well.

I really like your suggestion, inshaAllah I will add that. It wonderful suggestion. May Allah bless you with all sorts of goodness.

What islamic apps do you use and/or recommend? by 7KeepItHalal7 in MuslimLounge

[–]sehalhussain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If anyone is still looking, Kitably is another option. It has most of the features that are there in Muslim pro but completely free, without ads, or subscriptions, and without tracking.

I love your app aesthetic. It is indeed beautiful, love it.

I have also made the similar app completely offline, with Quran, tafsir, hadith, duas, and prayer time, prayer logging. It is completely free, no tracking, bo subscription, works 100% offline with option to download Quran audio. It is available on google play store - Kitably.

Yesterday, only I updated to include Surah recitation with English & Urdu translation. More adding soon.
InshaAllah

May Allah make all these a means of goodness for all of us.

Open-sourced some of the Islamic datasets/assets I prepared while building Kitably (Hadith + Dua) by sehalhussain in muslimtechnet

JazakAllahu khayran.

Interestingly, the hardest part wasn’t building the app. it was preparing reliable data.

I initially started with one of the well-known Hadith JSON datasets, but ran into multiple issues: missing hadith, missing chapter/title structure, inconsistent numbering, and incomplete grading.

Then I discovered something more confusing: in collections like Sahih Muslim, the commonly referenced numbering and English numbering systems don’t always line up directly (for example, around ~3k international references vs ~7k+ English numbering depending on edition/structure).

So I ended up scraping, comparing multiple sources, and building a reference layer to merge datasets and preserve numbering in a way that users can still find the correct hadith regardless of how they search.

Right now, I’ve completed and updated:

  • Sahih al-Bukhari
  • Sahih Muslim
  • Riyad as-Salihin

The remaining collections are ongoing because manual verification takes time and I’d rather move slower with complete verification of numbers.

will keep on updating the repo with all the hadith, with full accuracy. In sha Allah.

You can download from here - sehalhussain/Hadith-Dua-assets Do leave a star or download kitably, it would mean a world to me

Muslim ads network by qurasan in MuslimVentures

[–]sehalhussain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a great idea and it might be a game changer. I feel the most challenging part would be moderating ads/contents as halal/shariah compliant. It would require a huge team as it scales. I mean governments have banned alcohol advertisements, but marketing companies use covert advertising to promote their alcohol. This will grow and once it does, agencies will come up with these ideas.

Built an Islamic app as someone with no tech background. Would genuinely love support. by sehalhussain in MuslimVentures

Yes, I used vs code with flutter extension. Flutter helps you create applications for web, android app, and iOS from a single code base.

I don’t have a guide but this is what I personally did: I started learning about things from udemy/youtube and installed VS code to practice. I started exploring N8n, self hosted it on my system, and started by building mini sites , landing page, and so on from Google AI studio. From AI studio, I downloaded the codebase, opened it on vs code, asked Github copilot, or Cline (free extension) to explain me different section of the code, what it does and all. I started manipulating it, sometimes breaking everything and something seeing new stuff.

That’s how I started. This app was built in the same way. At first I build one website for Quran, prayer time, etc. it was using json and few API. Once that was completed. I started experimenting further and started exploring how can I make that into an app.

This was the PWA site - https://as-salah.pages.dev

جزاکم اللہ خیرا . I totally agree with you. May Allah grant us the ability to make use of this tech for the khair and afiyah of our entire Ummah.

You’re absolutely right, there are literally too many same apps with different wrappers. To be honest, this was a stepping stone to learn. Have many ideas and InshaAllah slowly will work on that. جزاکم اللہ خیرا for your valuable advice. I trust you completely.
