iAlif.com LLP was formalised on January 8 2010 as a business entity with the ACRA registration number T10LL0044C and registered in the Republic of Singapore.
iAlif.com was set up to fill a void in the online Islamic world. We’re not a religious website. We’re a location-based social network site providing spatially relevant, instant Islamic information.
What does that mean?
Let’s say you are hungry, and decide to go out for lunch. You happen to be a Muslim (or if you’re not, have friends who are Muslim). You need Halal food. What do you do? You can go to ialif.com, or download our mobile app, and find Halal establishments (verified), near you, with the type of cuisine you want. Within this experience, you can find the directions to the establishment, rate your experience at the restaurant, update your Facebook status, and invite your friends to join you!
Now that’s a revolution.
Consider this use case, duplicated and applied across the Pillars of Islam.
- Reciting the Kalimah Syahadah
- Performing 5 daily prayers
- Fasting in Ramadhan
- Paying Zakat
- Performing Haj
and you get:
- Use your Facebook account to login (connect directly with all your friends, Muslim and otherwise)
- Compass – a Google Maps app of all the mosques and musollas in your territory and find the ones nearest to you. Get directions, and latest events/activities from the mosque! As well as getting the prayer times on your mobile device and getting the Kiblat direction according to True North with Augmented Reality (for iPhone).
- Dining – a Google Maps app of verified Halal establishments in your territory and find the ones nearest to you. Get directions, rate restaurants, invite friends to join you!
- Dollar – A Zakat and Fidyah calculator and other Islamic finance apps that include a Google Maps app of the nearest Banks and ATMs providing Islamic Banking! As well as purchase apps and media from our iAlif Store!
- Travel – Find the best packages for Haj and other travelling as well as a Google Maps guide to Haj and Umrah!
This blog describes our journey to achieve these objectives and how we plan to be a successful business enterprise that helps society, Muslim or otherwise.
