Connectors

The ummah's best free tools,
in one place

Some of the most useful Islamic services are already free. Connectors bring them into First Saff, around your day and your masjid, always credited to the people who made them.

Connect once,
find it where you need it

A connector isn't a link to another app. It becomes part of your day in First Saff: in your Moments, on its own page, in the player bar, at the masjid and on your profile.

Connect in one tap

Open You, then Connections. Pick what you'd like and see exactly what it adds before you connect.

It joins your day

The ayah of the day in your Moments, the dua for entering the masjid when you arrive, recitation in the player bar.

Always credited

Every screen names who made it and links back to them. Disconnect any time and it's gone.

The Quran, read
and recited, ayah by ayah

The Quran in Arabic with 118 translations in over 40 languages, from AlQuran.cloud by Islamic Network. It reads along as it recites, remembers where you stopped, opens Al-Kahf on Fridays and keeps the surahs you've read for when you're offline.

  • Surahs, juz and bookmarks on its own page
  • Recitation in the player bar
  • An ayah of the day in your Moments

Radio and talksBuilt, waiting for permission

A live Islamic radio station and a library of talks and khutbahs are ready to go. They stay switched off until each maker says yes in writing.

Yours?For service makers

Made something free and useful for Muslims? It could live where people already are: around their masjid.

Connect your service

Six rules
every connector follows

These don't change as the list grows. They are how a connector earns a place next to your prayer times.

01

Free for you

Only services you can use without paying. No connector is a way to sell you something.

02

Credit, always

Every screen names the maker and links back to them. Their work stays theirs.

03

Permission first

Open projects are used as their licence allows. Everyone else's content waits for a written yes.

04

Nothing added

No ads, no tracking and no data passed on. A connector can't change First Saff's promises.

05

Yours to switch

Connect what helps you, disconnect what doesn't. Nothing is switched on for you.

06

Around the masjid

Each one should make the walk to the masjid, the time in it or the life around it a little better.

Where this is going

A home for the tools
Muslims already love

We think Connectors can grow into the place where the best free services meet the people around each masjid. These are the kinds we hope to add, each only with its maker's agreement.

Made something free for Muslims?
Let's connect it.

If you run a free Islamic service, an open dataset or an API, First Saff can put it in front of people at the moment it helps, around their masjid, with your name on it.

What you get

  • A credit line and a link back on every screen
  • People who use it every day, not a one-off visit
  • A connector built and kept up by us, at no cost to you

What we ask

  • It stays free for the people using it
  • Nothing inside it that tracks people or shows ads
  • Content that's accurate and respectful
