Assalamu Alaikum Generous Supporters,

We wanted to thank you again for your support over the past year, we hope you are visiting QuranReflect.com regularly and benefiting from the bite-size relevant reflections written every day people like us, and sharing your experience as well.

I was mind-blown by some of the reflections myself, check this reflection by Maha Ezzeddine about #Parenting or this recent one by Sarmad Bokhari about activism.

We are also happy to have organizations partnering with us in leveraging QuranReflect such as the Muslim American Society's Ramadan Campaign where they encourage their members and followers to share their reflections on Surat As-Sajda, websites such as  the99names.com, As well as known preachers/scholars like Yasmin Mogahed, Omar Soliman, Mohammed Elshinnawy, Dr. Hatem AlHajj, Abdel-Nasir Jangda, and many more (follow them to get notified when they post)

I am reaching out in hopes that you find personal value in QuranReflect for your study as well as interacting with others around the Holy Quran. I am also reaching out in hopes you would consider supporting us again this Ramadan as we take QuranReflect to the next level,  learn more and donate here:

Jazakum Allah Khair and Happy Reflecting,

Amer Abbas, from the QuranReflect team

Assalamu Alaikum our dear supporters!

We'd love to update and inform you all QuranReflect’s latest progress.

We have been spending the past few months improving and revamping our site’s visuals and functionality to make the experience of writing and sharing reflections more accessible and enjoyable for everyone. Some of the improvements made include:

• Adding a @mention feature, so that you can tag your friends in your favorite post, and also give credit to your teachers and colleagues when quoting them in your reflections. See an example here.

• Sharing posts seamlessly on Facebook, Twitter, and WhatsApp. Try it by clicking the “share” button under any post from which you’d like others to benefit. We will be sharing one reflections on our Facebook page. Keep a lookout, the next one might be yours!

• Adding a notifications tab to keep track of all of your post engagements in one place. Email and on-site notifications may also be toggled in the profile settings.

• Adding "Save Post" feature so you can develop a searchable database of your favorite posts.

• Various visual and user experience improvements to the website interface.

• Switching the English translation to Dr. Mustafa Khattab's The Clear Quran.

• Starting the development of Android and iOS apps

See how one user is using these features to compile a collection of all of the authentic hadiths that relate to or explain the Quran

See how a website about the 99 names of Allah is using QuranReflect page feature to share commentary on the names of Allah that are mentioned in the Quran.

We hope that these features, along with the already existing powerful search, dynamic post entry, and other user engagement tools will facilitate making your time on QuranReflect more fruitful and conducive to learning. We are still developing more improvements to come, such as a more aesthetic PDF export, a “Reflect Mode,” and other tools to help you read, reflect, and make an unprecedented impact on the ummah. A notable change is the implementation of The Clear Quran translation by Dr. Mustafa Khattab as our default English translation. This is super exciting because of how readable and accessible this translation is compared to others! 

So now that QuranReflect is ready for primetime, we encourage you to sign up, read, interact, reflect, and contribute to the fastest growing database of Quranic knowledge in the world!

We believe that growth is a never-ending endeavor, so please share your feedback with us about the platform. Now is the time to make meaningful contributions by providing us with your insight and perspective. We appreciate any and all feedback, so please don’t be shy.

Lastly, We've reactivated our campaign and increased our goal by $5,000. Can we count on your contributions on #GivingTuesday? LaunchGood is rewarding the most effective campaigns. Any amount will take us a long way.

Thank you all for your contributions. As you can see, they have had a significant impact on the growth of QuranReflect since last Ramadan.

May Allah reward you all beyond your expectations,

The QuranReflect Team

Assalamu Alaikum wa ramhamtu Allahi wa barakatuh,

Alhamdullelah hamdan katheeran, by the grace of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala followed by your generosity, QuranReflect has successfully achieved the launchgood crowdfunding goal.

​This will insha'Allah enable us to make great advancements including:

1. QuranReflect Mobile App

2. 3rd party app integrations

​3. Improve User Experience

4. Build user preferences and notification features

5. Improve and polish core features that are currently in our open beta

6. Develop the detailed plan for the next phase and scalability

7. Expand the team of employees and volunteers

So Jazakum Allah Khair / May Allah reward you immensely for your support, and for believing in our transformative (insha'Allah) platform. We know that it's not easy to be an early supporter when there isn't much to show for, however, Allah swt highlights how the reward for those who strive early on is not equal to the reward of those who strive later on:

وما لكم ألا تنفقوا في سبيل الله ولله ميراث السماوات والأرض لا يستوي منكم من أنفق من قبل الفتح وقاتل أولئك أعظم درجة من الذين أنفقوا من بعد وقاتلوا وكلا وعد الله الحسنى والله بما تعملون خبير. الحديد١٠

“And why do you not spend in the cause of Allah while to Allah belongs the heritage of the heavens and the earth? Not equal among you are those who spent before the conquest [of Makkah] and fought [and those who did so after it]. Those are greater in degree than they who spent afterwards and fought. But to all Allah has promised the best [reward]. And Allah, with what you do, is Acquainted.”[Hadeed 57:10]

Please sign up here if you haven’t done so already, and start making full use of the platform for your studies and da’wah. We hope that our relationship doesn't end here, that you will find personal and community value in using QuranReflect, that you always reach out to us if you have feedback, suggestions, or concerns.

Lastly, part of our team was in Umrah in the last ten days of Ramadan and they dedicated special dua to everyone who supported us financially or otherwise :)

​​Jazakum Allah Khair,

QuranReflect Team.
