ILMINAR

Roadmap

What's built, and what isn't.

Ilminar starts with Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) AI that makes scholar lectures searchable and citable, every answer already tied to the moment it was spoken. Here's the path from where it is today to where it's headed.

Today

  • A growing set of scholars

    Currently several scholars across different backgrounds and schools of thought, with more added every week as Ilminar's transcription pipeline processes new lectures.

  • Built on Retrieval-Augmented Generation

    Ilminar's AI doesn't answer from memory. RAG retrieves the exact lecture passage first, then writes from what it finds and nothing else, with a link to the moment the scholar said it.

  • Ask follow-up questions naturally

    Keep going in the same conversation. Ilminar remembers what you've already asked, so you don't have to repeat yourself.

  • Rate answers, revisit threads

    Star any answer, and your past conversations stay saved so you can come back to them whenever you need to.

  • Free to start

    No payment required to ask your first question. Pro unlocks more and stays priced low through beta. See the note below.

In progress

  • Ilminar on iOS and Android

    So asking a question doesn't require opening a browser.

  • Fewer rough edges

    The unglamorous work of making Ilminar dependable enough to reach for daily, on web and on a phone.

  • More scholars, more lectures

    New scholars, and more of the back catalogue from the ones already indexed, added on an ongoing basis. Every answer stays traced to a named, identifiable source.

Pro is priced at £9.99/month today, during beta. That price isn't locked in. It may change before Ilminar launches publicly.

Where we're headed

Intentions, not commitments.

  • Primary source linking

    When a scholar quotes Qur’an or hadith, link straight to the original text so you can read the wording yourself. Ilminar wouldn't grade a hadith; it would show you where to look.

  • Multilingual support

    Full support for Arabic, Urdu, Hindi, Malay, and Bengali, for scholars whose lectures are in these languages, and for the majority of Muslims worldwide whose first language isn't English.

  • Student of Knowledge mode

    An opt-in mode that cites primary texts directly, Qur’an, Sahih Bukhari, and other original sources, instead of scholar lecture clips, for those who want to go straight to the source.

  • Institutional access

    Dedicated licensing for Islamic centres and universities, for khutbah research and academic reference at scale.

  • API access for businesses

    Cited, source-linked answers for compliance-sensitive use cases, like a financial product chatbot, instead of an unsourced general-purpose model.

Find what the scholar you trust actually said, with a link to the moment they said it.
