Just an idea..

[aadiltirmidhi]

Salaam alaikum,

I hope whoever is reading is in the best of health and imaan. I'm looking to develop an mobile app specifically for the Muslim community. Any suggestions on what would be very useful and is much needed on a day to day basis specifically for Muslims? For example an app where you can find Islamic shops and mosques .. I would really appreciate any input.

May Allah reward you all,

MashaAllah brother you have good coding skills. May Allah grant you more knowledge and skill.

Brother I'm working on a project to provide each masjid a personalized app for free. I am almost done with the backend. I created a CMS in wordpress. Take a look wordpress.org/plugins/salah-world-prayer-iqamah-timings-for-your-masjids/

So the plan is to get posts+events+and prayer timings from there and show them in the app with notification.

Walaikumasalaam,

I personally like apps which allow you to memorise surats from the Quraan and offers an english transalation too.

There's other apps out there which focus on the everyday small duas that we are encouraged to recite. I find these apps very useful too.

Hajj or Umrah guidelines?

I suppose it depends on your target audience. Would it be tailored for adults or kids?

I wish you the best. Hope it goes well for you in sha Allah.

From a business point of view, What services would be required for the Muslim community? Any suggestions?
Jazakallah khair for the responses so far

I would personally like an application that would allow me to see spaces where I can pray aside from the masjid. I know when I was in Dubai I enjoyed the fact that I could pray anywhere because these spaces were visible. However I had to ask around because although they were visible in the malls and such, I could not see where they were unless I was in the mall or next to the space.

Similarly if there is an app that allows people to collaborate on adding prayer spaces, washrooms to do wudhu, clothing stores that offer Islamic attire, as well as those that sell halal food whether it is restaurants or shops it makes it easier for a Muslim who might be visiting :)

mmm..i know u dont want suggestions of a stupid dumb talentless 14 year old but i'm taking a chance!
i think you should develop an app that compose daily reminders for the muslim ummah to unite, maybe new works and researches of scholars, or people like that, like a flip board for muslims maybe..
or......an app for reverts, i mean it could have guidelines and keep with flow and...stuff.......
or this one: http://www.islamicboard.com/general/...ogrammers.html

Walaikum salaam wahramatulahi wabarakatahu,
thanks ramen.
I think Bhabha made a good suggestion in regards to having a app that allows you to find halal restaurants around the world and places to pray as well as Islamic stores. What does everyone think , would an app showing you halal restaurants be useful? I think especially as sometimes we find ourselves in places we don't know or have never been too before so finding halal food can be a challenge sometimes .
Let me know

Well there is already an app it's called Muslim Pro. But it is the developers that add places to the directory. I'm referring to a system that is designed to accept submissions into its directory from people who are members and have downloaded the application.

Muslim pro has the halal stores and the masjids. But does not seem to Islamic clothing stores or other venues by Muslims such as perhaps book stores. Etc.

Maybe something that promotes Islamic businesses by building a directory?

[aadiltirmidhi]

Muslim pro is very good but I don't think it promotes Islamic business and halal restaurants well enough with good illustration. I think an app solely promoting those things would be good?

Of course it will be good! An application that allows perhaps the business owner or a customer to create a mini page as a sort of side-step from the map that would show where this business is, would be so good! The little page on the application can have information about the things that are sold in the store, the location, business hours and a phone to communicate. :)

[aadiltirmidhi]

Any suggestions on naming this app? Be creative!

[Bhabha]

The Muslim connection ?

[aadiltirmidhi]

Lol, good effort. Maybe a good Arabic name/word or kunya

Not all Muslims are arabic >_>;

The Muslim Connection in different languages :P

Assalamu Alaikum

How about an app where you can check out available islamic events in your area?

[aadiltirmidhi]

Interesting, I'll bear that in mind. Would appreciate creative names

[Serinity]

:salam:

What about a reminder app, that reminds you of ayats, hadiths, etc. Dhikr app. Prayer times app. Islamic event app. An app that reminds you to read the Quran. A sunnah revival app. Which reminds you off some fast sunnah acts you can do etc. Which may be heavy on the scale.

[aadiltirmidhi]

Walaikum salaam, good idea. Any one else? Any good names we can call this app people?
