Salam - Idea for Muslim Developers to Earn Barakah
Assalamu Alaikum. I had an idea for fellow Muslims who want to build something useful and earn barakah from it. A lot of us use Google Calendar or similar tools to plan our day and track habits. But adding the five daily prayers and Islamic dates to the calendar every day can be a bit time-consuming. What if someone made a simple calendar-like platform that automatically creates the five prayer events for your chosen country/city each day, includes Islamic dates, and maybe other helpful features for practicing Muslims? I used to do some coding and it doesn’t have to be complicated to get started. You don’t need to be an expert. A straightforward approach could be: 1. Build a basic platform that syncs prayer times and Islamic dates for a selected location. 2. Create some simple promo material - a short demo video and a few screenshots. 3. Share it across social channels and with your community, and consider a small ad budget to reach more people. 4. Keep improving it gradually and add useful features over time (but don’t overcomplicate it at first). 5. Make short relatable videos showing how it helps busy Muslims: e.g., “You won’t believe how much this helps me remember salah while working!” That’s it. May Allah make it easy and accept efforts made for good. If someone builds this, it could be a small but meaningful benefit for many of us.
