Assalamu Alaikum!,

My name is Danish Ahamed, and I’m the co-founder of As-Salah, a mobile application aimed at helping Muslims strengthen their connection with prayer and the masjid.
Email: medanish8@gmail.com

Your purpose in using this API:
We are building As-Salah, an Islamic mobile app designed to assist Muslims in praying on time, planning prayer during travel, and connecting with local masjids. One of our key upcoming features is to make authentic Hadith collections easily available within the app for users to read, search, and learn from.

Inshā’Allāh, this will greatly help users access Sahih narrations related to prayer, daily life, and Islamic values in a convenient way. In the near future, we are also planning to build an AI-powered Hadith Assistant that can answer user questions using verified hadith data, referencing multiple collections.

API rate limits:

Since the data will be downloaded and stored locally on the user's device on first app launch, our usage pattern will involve only one request per user to fetch all hadith data.

Maximum requests per second: 1–3

Maximum requests per day: Depends on number of new installs — initially estimated at 500–1,000/day, and expected to grow as the app reaches more users, in shā’ Allāh.

Is your use case better served by having an offline dump of hadith data or programmatic API access?
We prefer API access initially, to ensure we fetch up-to-date and structured data. However, since all content will be stored locally after the first request, we would also be happy to accept an offline dump if that’s preferable on your side for performance and load reasons.

What are the languages in which you would like hadith data?

English
Arabic
Tamil (For regional support)
Urdu (if available)

What programming language will your API client be in?
Primarily Dart using the Flutter framework (via HTTP/REST client). Backend logic may use Node.js or Python if needed.
