About

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide high quality journalism written by people, not AI bots. We prioritize education and enternatinment for our readers over profit and advertisers. We strive to serve Muslim communities around the world but all are welcome.

Written by people, not AI Bots

The use of AI to write entire articles and videos has run rampent on the internet. But we believe that people still want content written by people, not AI bots.

Our tenets for how articles are written

  1. All articles will be conceived of by people. We don't ask AIs for article ideas.
  2. All articles will be written by people. We will never ask an AI to entirely write an article given a prompt.
  3. However, AI tools may be used to enhance grammer or produce facts.
  4. Any use of AI tools will be documented on the article so readers will have transparency about where the content came from.
  5. As of now, we are avoiding AI to generate images used in articles. We currently get article images from stock photo websites that benefit real photographers. However, we may supplement articles with AI generated images on a case-by-case basis.
