Purpose & Stroy
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
“When the human being dies, his deeds end except for three: ongoing charity, beneficial knowledge, or a righteous child who prays for him.”

This notebook/wiki is a humble effort to share beneficial knowledge. May Allah accept it.
This project started during my university studies. As I tried to understand my courses better, I began writing summaries and personal notes. When a topic was difficult, I used AI to help explain it in a simpler way. Little by little, those notes grew into a well-organized collection of knowledge.
Then I stopped and thought about it. As Muslims, we are encouraged to benefit others. Instead of keeping these notes to myself, I started improving them, fixing mistakes, and making them easier to understand so others could benefit too.
Today, this notebook is where I document everything I learn about software and web development. The learning path is inspired by 
Roadmap.sh, I use 
Claude to help me research and improve the articles, and I create all the covers and diagrams in 
Figma. Everything is reviewed and edited by hand before it is published.
I hope this notebook/wiki continues to grow as I learn more, and that it becomes a source of ongoing benefit. May Allah accept this work, put barakah in it, and grant us all tawfiq.
