About My Deen Guide
My Deen Guide is a small project with one rule that decides most of the others: nothing ships unless we can say where it came from.
Why it exists
There is no shortage of Islamic apps. There is a shortage of Islamic apps that will tell you which published translation you are reading, who graded the hadith on your screen, and what they graded it. Those details get dropped because they are unglamorous and because almost nobody complains when they are missing.
They are also the difference between a reference you can check and a reference you have to trust. We would rather build the first kind.
The standard
Four commitments, applied to every screen:
- Quoted verbatim. Published translations are reproduced word for word, with their punctuation and their older phrasing intact. We copy; we do not retype and we do not improve.
- Grading always shown. Every narration carries its grading and the name of the scholar who gave it. Where recognised graders disagree, both assessments appear.
- Never machine-translated. No translation API, library or model has ever touched a religious text in this project — not at build time, not at runtime, not as a draft. The build fails if such a dependency is added.
- Weak narrations named. Da’if and fabricated narrations are excluded. Where a popular practice rests on a weak narration, we say so.
These are not aspirations written on a page. Each of them is enforced by an automated check that stops the build, which is why this website publishes a handful of texts rather than thousands: we would rather publish less and be checkable. You can read exactly what is enforced on Our sources & methodology.
What the app refuses to do
- No advertising. No network, no sponsored content, no interstitial between you and a verse.
- No tracking of your reading. What you read stays on your device.
- No account required to read the Qur’an, check prayer times or open a dua.
- No AI-generated religious content. Not answers, not translations, not summaries of a hadith. Questions submitted to Ask a Mufti are answered by human scholars.
- No fabricated social proof. You will not find invented review counts, invented user numbers or invented testimonials anywhere on this site.
Review
Explanatory articles are written by named authors and reviewed by a qualified scholar before they can claim review. Until that review happens, the article ships with a visible banner saying it has not been reviewed — because hiding an unreviewed article helps nobody, and publishing it silently is worse.
The current review status of every published article is stated openly on Our sources & methodology.
Getting in touch
Corrections to religious content are the messages we read first. If something here is misattributed or mis-graded, please tell us — include the reference and the source you are quoting, and we will act on it.
