Why we built nafs
We got tired of opening Muslim apps and being hit with ads before we could even read Quran. We got tired of apps that felt like they were built for a checkbox, not for our hearts.
We noticed something: most Muslims open these apps for two things: the Quran and the Qibla in a new place. That's it. And yet, the experience was always cluttered, always selling something.
We wanted to change that. nafs started as a conversation between siblings who felt like our generation deserved better. An app that actually understood how we live our deen daily. One that was beautiful, private, and built with the same care we put into our ibadah.
Half of everything supporters contribute goes to humanitarian relief across Sudan, Congo, Somalia, Kenya, and Ethiopia. Because nurturing your soul means nurturing the ummah too.
Our values
Privacy First
Your data stays on your device. We don't sell your information, we don't run ads, and we never will. Privacy isn't a feature. It's a promise.
Beautiful by Design
We believe spiritual tools should feel as intentional as the acts of worship they support. Every pixel is placed with care.
Community Over Profit
Half of all supporter contributions go directly to humanitarian relief. We grow together, or not at all.
Built with Ihsan
Excellence in everything we do, because our work is an act of worship too. We build as if Allah is watching, because He is.
Giving back
50% of all nafs+ contributions go directly to humanitarian relief. We partner with vetted organizations working on the ground across Sudan, Congo, Somalia, Kenya, and Ethiopia.
Our current partners include ICNA Relief, Life for Relief and Development, Sudan Relief Fund, Doctors Without Borders (MSF), Baitulmaal, Muslim Aid, Zakat Foundation of America, Helping Hand (HHRD), Human Appeal, and Islamic Relief Worldwide.
When you support nafs, you're not just getting an app. You're helping feed families, provide medical care, and rebuild communities. That's the nafs promise.
with love, the nafs team
