Nur of LifeLight for the heart, knowledge for the soul
Free, privacy-first tools and trusted knowledge for the modern Muslim, rooted in the Islamic understanding of the self and built as Sadaqah Jariyah.
“When a person dies, their deeds come to an end except for three: ongoing charity, knowledge that benefits, or a righteous child who prays for them.”Prophet Muhammad ﷺ · Sahih Muslim 1631
Understanding the self the way revelation describes it
Long before modern psychology, the Qur'an and Sunnah gave us a map of the inner life. Tap each part of the self to explore it.
Three states of the soul
Scholars such as Ibn al-Qayyim drew these three states from the Qur'an. Most of us move between them daily. Tap a stage.
A heritage worth knowing. In the 9th century, the scholar Abu Zayd al-Balkhi wrote Sustenance of Body and Soul, one of the earliest works to separate kinds of sadness and to treat them with counsel, reflection and changed thinking. Caring for the mind has always had a home in our tradition.
How is your heart today?
Choose what you are feeling. You will receive words from the Qur'an or Sunnah, a way of seeing it through faith, and one small step to take.
“Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest.”
Qur'an 13:28. A tasbih for after salah, and a slow breathing space to pair with istighfar.
Breathe in for 4, hold for 2, and on a slow out-breath say Astaghfirullah.
0 breathsTake account of yourself before you are taken to account
A gentle nightly reflection in the spirit of the words attributed to Umar ibn al-Khattab. Three questions, a minute or two. What you write is saved only on this device and never leaves it.
