Hi Product Hunt — I'm Ahmad, the maker of islam.museum.

Islamic history online used to mean scattered Wikipedia tabs and PDFs. Fourteen centuries of scholars, cities, inventions, art and manuscripts deserved one place you could actually walk through — so I built a museum, not just a website.

Inside: nine wings and 301 guided pathways. 42,966 sourced entries. A timeline of 4,431 events you can scrub across centuries. A Timeline Explorer that walks you through a life stop by stop. A connections graph linking people, places and ideas. A Hijri–Gregorian converter that answers "what happened on this day?" for any date. Quran and Hadith explorers, surah maps, a 3D tour — and a kids' wing guided by Hudhud the hoopoe. Where the historical record is thin, the museum shows the gap honestly instead of hiding it.

It's free, no account, in Arabic, English and Urdu. The data is CC0, the prose is CC BY-SA and the code is MIT — anyone can reuse it or rebuild on it.

I started this in September 2025 as a small prototype and built it with heavy AI assistance plus human sourcing checks. I'll be in the comments all day: ask me how it was built, how entries are sourced, or where AI got things wrong. Feedback very welcome — especially what you think a museum like this should do next.

Today I launched islam.museum on Product Hunt.

It's a free, open digital museum of Islamic history — 42,966 sourced entries, timelines, maps, a connections graph, a 3D tour and a kids' wing, in Arabic, English and Urdu. No account, no paywall; the data is CC0 and the code is MIT.

I'd genuinely love feedback from this community: what's missing, what's confusing, what should a museum like this do next? The launch page is here: [PRODUCT HUNT LINK]
