Will I receive a receipt for my donation?
Yes, a professional PDF receipt is automatically generated and sent to your email after every successful donation.
Do I need to be Muslim to use Sakeenah?
Not at all. Sakeenah is for everyone. Many readers are simply curious about Islam, and the Discover Islam journey was written especially for them — gently, with no pressure and no judgement.
Which languages is Sakeenah available in?
The website can be used in English, Kiswahili and Arabic. Qur'an and hadith translations are currently in English, alongside the original Arabic.
How do I contact the Sakeenah team?
Use the contact form, the live chat bubble at the bottom of every page, or email info@sakeenah.world. We read every message.
Where does the Qur'an text come from?
The Arabic is the standard Uthmani text from Tanzil, never retyped by hand. The English translation is Saheeh International. Recitations come from the Islamic Network CDN.
Are the hadith on Sakeenah authentic?
Hadith come from the recognised collections (Bukhari, Muslim, the Sunan and others) and their gradings are shown — sahih (authentic), hasan (good) or da'if (weak). We never present weak narrations as rulings.
