What is Jibreel?
Jibreel is the "Duolingo" for fard ayn (obligatory Islamic knowledge).
Fard ayn is knowledge that Allah has made obligatory on every Muslim.
It's knowledge that allows you to fulfill your obligations and without it you cannot be sure you are doing so correctly or at all!
Jibreel helps Muslims easily learn and find core Islamic knowledge required for everyday life using short, fun, and interactive lessons.
What is your source material?
Our core text is the traditional text "Ascent to Felicity" (Maraqi al-Sa'adat), a very comprehensive and well respected traditional source in Islamic creed and Hanafi jurisprudence, authored by the esteemed 11th-century scholar Imam Abu'l-Ikhlas Hasan al-Shurunbulali.
Throughout our lessons we will reference chapters and pages from the book.
When are you launching?
We will be launching in stages (only available to paid subscribers).
Stage 1 (Beta App): will be available via TestFlight with trial lessons for you to try. InshaAllah will be launched in the next few weeks.
Stage 2 (v1.0) - January: this will include the first set of lessons for you to start using Jibreel, enough to begin your journey.
Stage 3 (v1.1) - February: this will include all of the core Hanafi fiqh you need to know for your fard ayn.
Are you using AI in the app?
No, we feel strongly that all Islamic knowledge should be edited and reviewed by scholars before being given to users. Therefore, the use of AI to generate, for example, provide fiqhi answers is dangerous given the risk of hallucinations etc. and given the sacred importance of what Jibreel is trying to teach.
Our content is curated based on reputable sources based on our rich tradition and reviewed by trusted scholars.
What topics will v1.0 cover? What does the early bird subscription give you access to?
Jibreel v1 will focus on personally obligatory knowledge (fard al-‘ayn) knowledge, starting with the field of fiqh (Islamic law/jurisprudence) as per the Hanafi madhab (school of thought).
This sacred obligatory knowledge that Allah has made obligatory on every Muslim.
Jibreel is not intended for those seeking more advanced knowledge or to become scholars/students of knowledge.
What madhab (school of thought) are you using?
Hanafi madhab as per the advice of multiple well-known scholars in the West.
InshaAllah we have plans to expand to the other madhaahib in the future!
Who are the scholars behind the app?
We appreciate the importance of knowing who is behind these projects and vetting the information!
A project like this requires the oversight of trusted and reliable scholars with experience in the field.
We will be announcing scholars and advisors of Jibreel shortly on the website in due course inshaAllah!
What do you mean by 50% lifetime discount?
This means you will get 50% off the annual Jibreel subscription, forever, as part of our "pre-launch" offering.
This is for a short and limited time only. We will never provide a lifetime offer again.
Will I be charged immediately if I get the subscription? When does my subscription start?
Yes.
However, your subscription start date will not begin until Jibreel has fully launched on the app store (you will be notified and invited to download via email too).
You will next be charged (with the 50% discount) 12-months after launch date.
Example: you secure pre-launch subscription today in December 2025. You're charged in December 2025. App is launched and available to download on 1st February 2025. Your next payment will be taken 1st February 2026 with 50% off the annual subscription cost.
Can I get a refund if I change my mind?
Yes, of course!
You may get a full refund at any time without a reason up until app launch on the App Store.
After this date you can cancel future payments (subscription renewals) but you will no longer be eligible for a refund. You can do this by emailing us at salaam@jibreelapp.com.
