Islam Museum Founder

About

'm a Canadian-Egyptian engineer in Oakville, Ontario. I built islam.museum — a free, open digital museum of Islamic history — as a personal project: nearly 43,000 entries and 86,000 pages across nine wings, with Qur'an and Hadith explorers, interactive journeys, a kids' wing and a 3D tour. Everything is tied to published sources, free with no account, and open — data CC0, prose CC BY-SA, code MIT. Arabic-first, with English and Urdu editions. It was recently covered by OMNI TV Canada. I build in the open and I love feedback — try the museum and tell me what to improve.
