Looks polished. The community feature is a nice idea for growth. The 'Islamic shop' is also a good idea.

I honestly laughed out loud at "Islamic AI dream interpretation" and "numerology dhikr". Never knew there was an "Islamic" version of these kind of "astrology" stuff. I am sure these will be genuinely attractive to some Muslims, while others can treat is as a fun for religious activities can sometime be monotonous. While I understand religion is in some part based on inducing anxiety and alleviating it with rituals (that can also lead to personal growth), I still don't fully understand the psychology of how scammers (or some "true believers" of "astrology") are able to use the same foundation to exploit (or "help") people by offering "divine solutions" to life problems ...

Thanks for the thoughtful comment. Dream interpretation in Islam isn’t astrology or numerology — it’s a 1,400-year-old scholarly tradition. Ibn Sirin’s Tafsir al-Ahlam is a classical Islamic text studied in universities. The Prophet Muhammad himself interpreted dreams and called them “one of the forty-six parts of prophethood” (Sahih Bukhari). This is mainstream Islamic practice, not fringe. The “dhikr numerology” you’re referring to is Abjad — an Arabic letter-value system used by classical scholars like Ibn Arabi. Again, centuries-old tradition, not invented by us. You’re right that some people exploit religious sentiment. That’s exactly why we built Islamvy with cited classical sources, zero manipulation, and no ads. The goal is to make authentic Islamic knowledge accessible — not to sell anxiety. Whether it resonates with you or not, 1.8 billion Muslims take this seriously. We’re just building tools for them.

Thanks for the interesting clarifications. To be clear, I wasn't calling you a scammer - like I said, people who take these seriously will find the app useful while others who don't believe in it, can still enjoy is a fun game. (But yeah, I personally don't buy into all this and consider astrologers who charge money for any "divine interpretation" as scammers). One of my friend is into Hindu astrology, and I've already recommended your app to him. (By the way, if you are the developer of the app, you should resubmit the app with "Show HN" added to the title. Probably better to do it after a month or so now.
