Sawtify

11/03/2024

As-salāmu ʿalaykum everyone, and Ramadan Mubārak.

We've been quiet for a while, but behind the scenes we've been at work 😊.

While we've created a handful of Islamic audiobooks, our true vision is to create a global hub of Islamic knowledge. That's why we've created Sawti – the world's first Islamic audiobook app.

We're excited to announce that Shaykh Yasir Qadhi is co-founder and Global Brand Ambassador.

He will be narrating his own sīrah, and it will be exclusive to Sawti 😊

As many of you know, building an app is extremely arduous and expensive. To make this work, we’re turning to you for support.

We’ve launched this LaunchGood campaign to give everyone an opportunity to sponsor their favourite book’s adaptation into audio. You may sponsor the creation of a book, or donate to the development of the app itself. Whatever the case – may Allah reward you and grant you the ṣadaqah jāriyah (continuous charity) of anyone who listens and benefits from the books.

The LG campaign is: https://www.launchgood.com/sawti

If you can’t contribute, I ask Allah to bless you and your wealth. Kindly spread this post and the link for others.

Some have been asking for more samples of our recently published book, The Khulasa; so we've attached a link in the comment 😃

The sample is the famous Hadith of Umm Zar,' one of the most entertaining, if not the most entertaining narration in the hadith collections. It's a story that Sayyidah Aa'ishah narrates to the Prophet whilst they are chatting at night, about 11 women who sat together to talk about their husbands 😱
