Sirr is a contemplative companion for the inner life — a sacred space for the soul's quiet conversation. Built on classical Islamic psychology (Ilm al-Nafs) and modern therapeutic insight, Sirr helps you slow down, notice what is true, and meet your day with presence. REFLECT — BEGIN A JOURNAL ENTRY Open the journal and write what you are carrying. Sirr meets you with a warm, grounded reflection rooted in the wisdom of Imam al-Ghazali, Ibn Sina, and a fourteen-century tradition of caring for the soul. There is no rush, no scoring, no streak shame. Just the space to be honest. SOUL MIRROR — THE 99 NAMES AS COMPANIONS Each reflection draws on one of the Beautiful Names of Allah — Ar-Ra'uf, the Most Compassionate; Al-Shakur, the Appreciative; As-Sabur, the Patient — offered not as a lecture but as a quiet anchor for whatever you are moving through today. Embody one Name. Hold one prompt. Carry it into the world. INSIGHTS — KNOW YOURSELF Over time, Sirr gently surfaces the emotional and spiritual themes that recur in your writing — gratitude, tension, longing, return. A monthly view of your reflections, the Names that have walked with you, and the patterns worth noticing. FIND YOUR THERAPIST Browse qualified counsellors from Ibn Sina Sanctuary, where Islamic psychology and Western clinical practice are integrated. Filter by specialism, gender, language, and price. Book a call when you're ready. PRAYER-AWARE REMINDERS Optional, location-aware nudges that respect your day — gentle invitations to journal at fajr or after maghrib, never noisy, never moralising. WHY SIRR Generic journaling apps are built on assumptions about human nature drawn from secular Western psychology. They miss the vertical dimension — the relationship between the self that journals and the One who created it. Sirr is the contemplative companion we wished existed: warm, literate, unhurried, and quietly serious about the soul. SIRR PRO Unlock unlimited Soul Mirror reflections, the full Names library, deeper insights, the self-help library, and priority support with Sirr Pro. Available as a monthly or annual subscription. You can try Sirr free and upgrade whenever you're ready. ABOUT IBN SINA SANCTUARY Sirr is built by Ibn Sina Sanctuary, a collective of clinicians, scholars, and engineers bringing classical Islamic wisdom into contact with contemporary mental-health practice.

You've just prayed. You want to make du'a. And your mind goes blank. DuaShuffle is made for that moment, the one where you want to make du'a and can't think of one. Most du'a apps answer it with librarian work: dive into a category, pick a chapter, scroll a list. So the du'a waits, for the right mood, the right occasion, the right search term. This app removes the decision and keeps the devotion. Open it and a du'a is there: the Arabic, a clear translation, a transliteration to help you say it as it was said, the story of when it was made and why, and its source. Tap, and another. Save the ones that hold you. With moment awareness on, the shuffle leans toward the time you are living: the minutes after prayer, the mornings and evenings, Friday, the fasting days, the nights of Ramadan and the ten days of Dhul Hijjah, the rain and the heat. And the shuffle stays wide, so you keep meeting du'as you never thought to make. When it's on, the shuffle reads the time, the Islamic date, your city's prayer times and the weather. That's the whole app. Your phone comes out after prayer anyway. This app puts a du'a at the end of that reach. So never be lost for words.
