Linus the author of Linux os and Darwish - Muhammad Ali between
Habib Abdullah Alghumari and Darwish
In the
1980’s the Darwish family started their production of
authentic Islamic material in Cairo, and continued
thereafter in Dubai, London, and also in Muhammad Ali, the
boxer’s villa near the University of Chicago, USA. As they
traveled for 28 years throughout the USA they continued to
produce their Islamic material and are currently
continuing their work with the same dedication in the most
civilized lands of Islam, Malaysia and Indonesia.
While
the Darwish’s were in Chicago, Muhammad Ali invited Shaykh
Ahmad’s teacher the Grand Muhaddith of Morocco, Habib
Abdullah As-Siddiq Al Ghumari who was a direct
descendant of Prophet Muhammad, praise and peace be upon
him, to Chicago and was captivated by his humble,
spiritual demeanor. In an interview given to the French
newspaper “Figaro” Muhammad Ali expressed his love for
Habib Abdullah and said he wished he had a spirit such as
his. When the Habib returned to Tangier, he was inundated
by French reporters who came to discover this great
spiritual person.
The
Darwish family are not just regular spare time writers.
They feel that it is through Habib Abdullah’s supplication
that they have been blessed to produce a complete
bookshelf of over 335 English titles and 323 Arabic and
growing in the languages of Arabic, English, Malay and
(150 books) Indonesian - some of which are encyclopedic in
size like 36000 words concordance of AlKoran and Prophetic
saying in 800MB - with
very little hired help, and published electronically by
themselves. Al Hamdulillah, their production and
dedication to their work is highly acclaimed. We pray that Allah let our
young son: Syeh Abdul Qadir Al Jailani foster our work
in the future.

Why we don't sell ads or charge for
our service
Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes,
working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don’t need.
– Tyler Durden, Fight Club
Brian and others spent a combined 20 years at
Yahoo!, working hard to keep the site working. And yes, working
hard to sell ads, because that’s what Yahoo! did. It gathered
data and it served pages and it sold ads.
We watched Yahoo! get eclipsed in size and
reach by Google… a more efficient and more profitable ad seller.
They knew what you were searching for, so they could gather your
data more efficiently and sell better ads.
These days companies know literally
everything about you, your friends, your interests, and they
use it all to sell ads.
When we sat down to start our own thing
together three years ago we wanted to make something that
wasn’t just another ad clearinghouse. We wanted to spend our
time building a service people wanted to use because it worked
and saved them money and made their lives better in a small way.
We knew that we could charge people directly if we could do all
those things. We knew we could do what most people aim to do
every day: avoid ads.
No one wakes up excited to see more
advertising, no one goes to sleep thinking about the ads
they’ll see tomorrow. We know people go to sleep excited about
who they chatted with that day (and disappointed about who they
didn’t). Good product is keep you awake… and that you reach for
in the morning. No one jumps up from a nap and runs to see
an advertisement.
Advertising isn’t just the disruption of
aesthetics, the insults to your intelligence and the
interruption of your train of thought. At every company that
sells ads, a significant portion of their engineering team
spends their day tuning data mining, writing better code to
collect all your personal data, upgrading the servers that hold
all the data and making sure it’s all being logged and collated
and sliced and packaged and shipped out… And at the end of the
day the result of it all is a slightly different advertising
banner in your browser or on your mobile screen.
Remember, when advertising is involved you
the user are the product.
At Allah.com Muhammad.com, our limited
volunteering engineers spend all their donated time fixing bugs,
adding new features and ironing out all the little intricacies
in our task of bringing rich, authentic, reliable Islamic
information to every web driven phone or pc in the world. That’s
our product and that’s our passion. Your data isn’t even in
the picture. We are simply not interested in any of it.
When people ask us why don't sell ads on your
site? We say “Have you considered the alternative?”
Then they asked why you don’t then charge for
your service? We say:
This site has the most unique two names the
Creator: Allah and His seal of the Prophethood, Prophet Muhammad
and many real great Prophets such as Jesus, Moses and Abraham,
so it is very spiritual.
It should not charge people and children to
enjoy authentic information or sell them ads and sell their
information, we just wish a good government to acquire it and
make it richer, so maybe you introduce us and keep us in your
prayers.
