Projects
The work we're building — informing, guiding, and advocating for AI that serves humanity, grounded in Islamic principles.
Islamic Ethics Guidebook for Tech Professionals
A practical guide grounded in Islamic principles to help Muslim tech professionals navigate ethical dilemmas at work. The guidebook addresses real scenarios: algorithmic bias, surveillance, autonomous systems, and more. It combines clear fiqh reasoning with actionable frameworks and case studies from people in the field. Launching December 2026.
Islamic Ethics Framework for AI
A scholarly articulation of Islamic ethical principles applied to technology and artificial intelligence. Developed in collaboration with Yaqeen Institute, the framework extends Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) to address the unique challenges posed by AI systems. It serves as a foundation for both our guidebook and broader Islamic scholarship on tech ethics. Launching 2027.
Community Survey on Muslim Tech Professionals
We're surveying Muslim tech professionals about the ethical dilemmas they face in their work. Your input directly shapes both the guidebook and framework. 7–10 minutes, completely anonymous. Responses inform our understanding of where Muslims in tech need guidance and what frameworks would actually help.
Take the surveyJaleesBench
A benchmark to measure whether an AI agent is righteous counsel for a Muslim. Rather than testing what an AI knows or claims to value, JaleesBench measures the actual impact of an agent's advice on the person who seeks it. Built on classical Islamic texts (Riyadh al-Salihin) and Islamic scholarship (Ibn al-Qayyim's virtues, al-Ghazali's heart states), it evaluates AI counsel across realistic pressure scenarios. The first pilot launches later in 2026.
