Guide to Islam is a comprehensive app that provides a detailed look into Islam for both Muslims and non-Muslims. Approx. 1 in every 4 people in the world are Muslim. Why is Islam the fastest growing religion in the world? What is the real message of Islam? PURPOSE For those who want to understand the religion without bias, especially with all the misinformation we are exposed to through the media, this app aims at providing a simple but complete understanding of what it means to be a Muslim. This app is also perfect for Muslims who are asked about their religion and are unable to provide a more detailed understanding to others (co-workers, friends, or strangers). INCLUDES • Overview of Islam: Pillars of Islam, Beliefs, Muhammad, Jesus, and Women in Islam • Prophets Stories & Lessons: Includes majority of the Prophets mentioned in the Qur’an and their stories; moreover, the lessons we can take away from these stories and how we can apply them to our daily life. • Miracles in the Qur’an: God mentions things in the Qur’an that would be impossible for any human being to know over 1,400 years ago (around the time the Qur’an was revealed). • Questions addressing common topics and some misconceptions about Islam. • Contact information for organizations and hotlines in the U.S. and U.K. to address any further questions about Islam.

With MyDeen, you’ll be able to understand and deeply connect with Islam like the Sahaba inshallah. It is the only app out there that answers the most relevant issues Muslims are facing today in a fast, engaging manner. What You’ll Get in MyDeen • Why Islam Is True - To increase faith and provide reassurance • Important teachings from the Prophets (peace be upon them), Sahaba and other great Muslims • Modern Muslim Issues – Clear guidance on today’s challenges • Misconceptions about Islam – Addressed with wisdom and clarity • Summarized Lessons from different parts of the Quran • Understanding Differences – Learn how the Sahaba tolerated small Islamic differences (Ijtihad) • Principles of Islamic Rulings – Course on the importance of scholars and how Islamic law works Many Muslims today feel disconnected from their deen — reciting Quran without understanding, being taught rituals like a passed-down culture, and being completely surrounded by temptations of the dunya. This has led to obsession with this temporary world and little focus on the life after death. MyDeen revives the love of Islamic learning by following the methodology of the legendary scholar Imam al-Ghazali, who wrote the most popular Islamic book of his time, Ihya Ulum al-Din. He wrote this book because he saw that Muslims were not connected to the religion like the Sahaba, and so he taught Islamic topics that Muslims needed to hear in a beautiful way. This allowed him to transform people’s hearts with God’s help. We are also applying proven ideas from popular education apps, like gamification, to keep learning engaging. Everything on MyDeen is designed so that Muslims can benefit greatly from it even if they spend only 5 minutes every 2 or 3 days learning from it. https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Guide to Islam at none against MyDeen's 1. Guide to Islam also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (7.1 vs 15.2). MyDeen's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and ratings volume (107 vs 11). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and monetization model there is nothing between them.
