Still figuring out what this account will focus on but leaning toward design, tech, Islam, and the creator space.
Been working on something for creators. It's my way of getting back into making content and building something I'd actually use myself
Alhamdulillah for everything, the good and the hard. What feels bad in the moment is often a test.
As a Muslim, I believe everything happens for a reason, even when we don't see it yet.
Gratitude for both has changed how I move through life.

Any Muslims interested in testing a new Islamic app/platform we've been building? 🤲
Next few days we're looking for early testers on:
Windows
macOS
iPhone / iPad
Android
Linux
Still in development, so genuine feedback would mean a lot.
Limited spots available. DMs!

You clearly don't understand Islam. A Muslim sinning doesn’t make him a hypocrite for recognizing that sin as wrong. Sneako can fall short privately, regret it, and still tell people not to normalize the same behavior publicly.
Feeling guilt over sin means you at least recognize you're falling short. Shamelessly broadcasting it isn't "keeping it real"
Sneako doesn't have to be sinless to call a sin a sin, and Islam isn't a "fake garment" because the Muslim wearing it is imperfect
You're not exposing his hypocrisy, you're exposing your own resentment toward anyone who refuses to normalize your degeneracy.
Pure crab-in-a-bucket mentality. If you're comfortable at the bottom, everyone else has to be down there with you.
I keep seeing Muslims getting mad at this and it's weird to me.
The alternative is ChatGPT or every other AI that isn't Muslim-owned or backed.
Or Qaf, which is Muslim-backed, sourced, and built for Islamic research.
If you're ALREADY using AI for Islamic research, use THIS.
Talked more about this here, but again, this is for people who are ALREADY using and will CONTINUE using AI for Islamic research.

First off, mashaAllah on the launch!
I've been reading through his replies, and from what I can tell, if someone was already using ChatGPT for Islamic questions, Qaf is a clear upgrade.
Personally though, when it comes to AI giving answers related to the deen, I still prefer to stay away.
If you're currently paying for ChatGPT mainly for Islamic research, once Qaf launches subscriptions I'd recommend cancelling and switching over. Better to support our Muslim brothers with our money, especially since it's the stronger product when it comes to our sources.
A few things worth keeping in mind compared to regular ChatGPT:
- Not 100% accurate
- It can still hallucinate (though much less, thanks to the better data).
- It's an indexed vector DB with agentic search on top, powered by 5.6 Sol. You're not fine-tuning the model so much as steering it to stay within the sources and dataset instead of freely "searching" the open web.
I think of it like a car with dual controls, the AI model is the student driver, and Qaf is the instructor helping it steer. You're guiding it well but the student can still veer off the road in certain situations.
Like most useful tools, it has real upsides and real downsides. Because it's built and backed by Muslims, a lot of people will start citing it in arguments (even when they don't fully understand how it works).
And just like any AI, if someone tries hard enough, they can probably steer the answers in the direction they want.
Just my two cents. May Allah put barakah in the project
I understand why everyone uses GitHub since it's basically the default, but why not just self-host @giteaio?
Since switching in April, all my repos, workflows, and everything else have been done through my Gitea instance
The only downtime I have to worry about is my own
.@satyanadella This @github outage might be the final straw. Hours and hours of lost productivity cause GitHub actions is so frequently broken. I can't believe we pay and get this awful of an SLA. Where are people moving to?
This was an absolutely insane response to another brother asking what to do about wanting a house without taking a haram mortgage.
Don't make what's haram halal because you really want something. If you can't afford a house now without it, rent, save, make dua, and trust Allah.
Alhamdulillah, I'm glad he came to this realization. May Allah increase his tawakkul and provide him with a halal home when the time is right.

"Streaming platform but not really" idea:
- You pay us to stream
- The more viewers you have, the more you pay (discourages botting)
- No gambling, haram content, or degenerates
- No permanent bans for minor offenses, temp bans, warnings, unless serious
- No AI training
🤔
Used to be around toxic people and ragebaiters, would always be asked "Why don't they ragebait you?"
It's because I never gave them the reaction they wanted, so eventually they stopped trying.
Imagine if we responded to ragebait with dua? Good for you, them, and those watching
I used to always tell people: no matter what, ignore negativity or at least respond to it with positivity.
At the end of the day, people will realize it's pointless and they'll eventually give up because they're not getting the reaction they want.
And this was a response to a similar tweet 🤔 if you want to make honest money, just make a good app that people want to keep paying for.
Not hope that they forget they've paid for your slop app.
Don't be surprised when Apple cracks down on this, they are on X watching
