itminan (اطمینان) is an Urdu and Arabic word for tranquility of the heart. It is the name of the product, not a promise: what the app does is help you find the words generations before you have prayed.
The classical collections of supplications are a shared heritage, but they are hard for a layperson to search. You know what you want to pray about; you do not know which of hundreds of catalogued texts speaks to it, or where it comes from, or how it was customarily recited.
itminan puts an assistant in front of a fixed, human-curated library so that anyone can find the relevant text in their own words, in Urdu or English, and always see the source it came from.
To make the authentic supplication heritage of the classical collections accessible to everyone, faithfully: every text verbatim from a published source, every source cited, nothing invented.
A library that grows collection by collection, carefully and with scholarly review, until the answer to “is there a supplication for this?” is always: yes, and here is where it comes from.
No composed supplications, no predictions, no promised outcomes, no rulings, no ads, no selling of data.

My name is Furqan Khan. itminan is built by one person, not a company: I am a solo founder and I build it myself.
I kept noticing the same thing. Ordinary people, with no training in any of this, could not find an authentic supplication when they wanted one. The collections are printed, catalogued and freely available, and still the way in was closed, because finding an entry means already knowing what it is called.
That is the problem I set out to solve, and it is a search problem: let a person describe what they want to pray about in ordinary language, in Urdu or English, and have the software return the catalogued entry that matches, with its published source attached. Nothing written, nothing interpreted. Only the way in.
I am not a scholar and itminan does not speak as one. Every text in the library is taken verbatim from a published collection and checked against its source before it ships; where a question needs a qualified scholar, the app says so and stops.
If something here is wrong, or reads badly in Urdu, or simply does not work, write to me. It reaches me, not a queue.
