Terms of Service
In short: Al-Qalam is a free learning aid. It is not a source of religious rulings, so please speak to a qualified scholar for personal questions.
1. Acceptance of these terms
These terms are an agreement between you and Haanz Tech Ltd ("we", "us"). By downloading or using Al-Qalam you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the app. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information.
2. The service
Al-Qalam is a free Islamic app that provides Quran and hadith study, prayer times, Qibla direction, prayer reminders, daily lessons and duas, a Zakat calculator, a Shahada guide, mosque and halal restaurant finders, Islamic news and videos, a prayer tracker and an AI study assistant. It is a learning aid and is not a substitute for guidance from qualified scholars.
3. Eligibility and accounts
Al-Qalam is not directed at children under 13. By using it you confirm you are at least 13, or are using it with the supervision of a parent or guardian. Many features work without an account. If you create one, keep your sign-in details safe and give accurate information. You can delete your account at any time from Profile → Delete Account.
4. Ask Al-Qalam AI
The AI feature provides general Islamic information based on the Quran and authentic hadith, powered by a third-party AI model. Answers are for education only. They are not a fatwa or a formal religious ruling, and they may be incomplete or wrong. For personal rulings, consult a qualified scholar. We are not responsible for decisions made solely on the basis of AI answers.
5. Prayer times, Zakat and other tools
Prayer times, Qibla direction, the Hijri calendar and the Zakat calculator are provided as a guide. Prayer times come from third-party calculation services and depend on your location and chosen method. Zakat results are estimates based on what you enter, and scholars differ on some details. Please confirm anything important with your local mosque or a qualified scholar.
6. Hadith and religious content
Hadiths are presented with source references and authenticity gradings based on established scholarly grading. We take care to be accurate, but please check primary sources for academic, legal or religious-ruling purposes. If you spot a mistake, please tell us.
7. Donations
Donations through Buy Me a Coffee are voluntary and help with running costs and development. They do not unlock any features and are not refundable by us. Al-Qalam is currently free to use. If we introduce optional paid features in future, we will clearly say so in the app and update these terms.
8. Acceptable use
Do not misuse the app. That includes trying to interfere with its operation or security, attempting to access other users' data, copying or reselling its content, or using the AI feature to produce unlawful, abusive or harmful material. We may suspend or end access for anyone who breaks these terms.
9. Our content
The app, its design and our original content belong to Haanz Tech Ltd or our licensors. You may use them for your own personal, non-commercial use. Quran text, recitation, hadith and other third-party material remain the property of their respective sources.
10. No warranty
We try to keep Al-Qalam accurate and available, but it is provided "as is". We do not promise it will be error-free or always available, or that third-party services it depends on will always work.
11. Limit of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of the app. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.
12. Changes
We may change or discontinue features, and may update these terms. The date at the top shows when they were last changed. Continuing to use the app after a change means you accept the updated terms.
13. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction over any dispute. If you are a consumer living elsewhere in the UK, you keep the protection of the mandatory laws of where you live.
