TAZKEYAHT: A Digital Sanctuary for the Soul
Hassan Idi Ntirwaza
Assalamu ‘alaykum wa rahmatullah,
I would like to sincerely congratulate you for the platform you have designed. It is a very encouraging and beneficial initiative for all those who seek to draw closer to the Qur’an and share their spiritual reflections.
I would also like to contribute by proposing an idea called TAZKEYAHT: a digital sanctuary centered on purification of the soul and the anonymous sharing of authentic spiritual testimonies.
👉 Anonymity is essential because it protects sincerity and purity of intention. On the spiritual level, it allows each person to share their experiences solely for Allah, without seeking recognition from others. On the psychological level, it liberates speech, helps express inner struggles and deep experiences without fear of judgment, and fosters an atmosphere of trust and compassion.
Psychological Purpose:
● Freedom from judgment: Many Muslims hesitate to share their true thoughts out of fear of being criticized or misunderstood.
Anonymity creates a safe space where they can express themselves sincerely.
● Encouraging authenticity: By removing ego and social image, reflections become more honest and meaningful.
● Emotional relief: Writing anonymously works like therapy, allowing users to release doubts, fears, and inner struggles without
social pressure.
Spiritual Purpose:
● Closeness to Allah alone: Anonymity reminds users that the intention is not to showcase piety to people, but to purify
themselves for Allah ﷻ.
● Sincerity (Ikhlâs): The absence of public recognition eliminates ostentation (riyâ’), making reflections and commitments purer.
● A model of tazkiyah: The ego loves to be seen and recognized; anonymity breaks this temptation and directs the believer to
work only for Allah’s pleasure.
In summary: Anonymity is not just a privacy option. It is a tool for purifying the heart and developing psychological discipline,
helping each believer focus on their connection with Allah rather than the opinion of others
I believe that if this idea could be integrated or supported on your platform, it would add an extra dimension to your efforts, helping even more people to journey towards Allah with authenticity and depth.
I am, of course, open and available if you would like to discuss this further, to explain the importance of this idea and explore how it could enrich your wonderful project.
May Allah bless your work and make this effort a source of guidance and reward for you and for the community.
