The reality

faith rises and falls
but never stands still

We avoid it.
We tell ourselves “it's fine, Allah knows what's in my heart.”
We tell ourselves “I'm doing my best.”
We tell ourselves “tomorrow, in shā' Allāh.”

And the days pass. And we no longer really know where we stand with Him.

The foundation

Surah Al-Hashr, 59:18

“Let every soul look…”
Not “let every soul wait until the Day of Judgment to find out.”
Now. Every evening. Before it's too late.

“O you who have believed, fear Allah. And let every soul look to what it has put forth for tomorrow. And fear Allah. Indeed, Allah is fully aware of what you do.”

How it works

Would you learn how?

A short video to understand the method of the pious predecessors and how baṣīrah guides you.

Video — the method
The origin baṣīrah, from whom, for whom, why

Take account of yourselves

before you are taken to account.

The Prophet ﷺ said: “The wise believer is the one who holds himself accountable and works for what comes after death.” — Sunan at-Tirmidhī, 2459

The pious predecessors did their muḥāsaba every evening. It's a practice validated for 1400 years. When I tried to apply it, it was the hardest part. Where to start? What questions to ask? How not to forget anything in the dark, before sleep?

I found the method in Madārij as-Sālikīn by Ibn al-Qayyim and in The causes of the increase and decrease of faith by shaykh Abdurrazzāq al-Abbād al-Badr; but I couldn't apply it by heart.

So I built baṣīrah. To guide me. Question by question. The app just takes you by the hand to apply what wiser people used to do before us.

Hold your soul accountable

Not to judge you. Not to beat yourself up. To see clearly.
