    Salaam everyone.

    My name is Ahmed, I am currently living in Dubai, and I've been lurking on this site for a long time. Over the years I've gained a lot of knowledge from this site (especially during its earlier days). Like many, I am a deep thinker and have constantly questioned the world around me. Over the years, I began to take notice of the corruption around the world. I always wondered, "what can an average joe like me do in order to make the world a better place?" It seemed impossible at first, but Alhamdulillah, I believe I have finally figured it out.

    Allah blessed me with an idea that may very well change the world for the better. I've been working hard on this project. Unfortunately, the idea will face great opposition due to minimizing and eventually ridding the gap between the rich, middle-class, and poor. The vision will unite the people and bring us closer to true equality. I understand that what I am attempting to do will anger very powerful groups. Because of the threat that I am facing, it is absolutely critical that I perfect my plan to launch my idea. I will launch it in a way where it will quickly build an unstoppable momentum (this is to avoid the big kids from shutting it down). I do not wish to make any profit from this idea for myself (I've thought about this very carefully). It will be strictly for the world, and it will be 100% transparent. That is not to say that it will not make any profit. The profit that will be made will keep going to charity for as long as the company stays alive.

    I cannot discuss the details of this project just yet. There is much work to do. I am still working on more funds. It is hard to trust anyone, I must be careful. I cannot simply ask anyone for funds. I do have hope, the right minds, and Allah. I ask the community of free-minds to sincerely pray for me. When the time comes, I will share a better world with you all, Inshallah.

    Thanks again,
    Ahmed R.

      welcome. Sounds like something huge. Put your trust in God, God-willing, if it's righteous it succeeds.

      Salam

        Peace AhmedR.
        Do you mean you are currently collecting funds for your project?

        It is not clear what you mean from your post.

        Thanks for more clarification in advance.
        GOD bless you.
        Peace.

          Yes and no. I have most of the things I need and have already started developing the project. I have the right people with the right skill sets. I have invested roughly $40k already. I went through hell and back to come up with the $40k. A little after beginning development, we went through everything with a fine comb and realized we need to execute the marketing perfectly.

          The reason we need the marketing to be perfect is so that when I launch this system, I want to make sure that other groups are not able to launch the same thing and use it for the profit (ruining the original intent). I am trying to launch with such momentum, that it grows to quickly for competitors to copy and abuse it. Instead, they can just watch it take over or join the movement.

          That being said, I wasn't aware that the right type of marketing costs more than the project itself. I can, Inshallah, come up with the money myself but it will take some time. Unfortunately, time is something I don't have much of. I have a few meetings with some investors, but I do not feel comfortable sharing my system (idea) with them. I'm afraid they will steal it and use it for the wrong means. An NDA form can only protect you so much. Instead, I've decided to raise the marketing funds with the help of my local Masjid. I am in the process of setting up a meeting with the founders and CEO of the Masjid. I believe Allah will provide the funds, Inshallah. Don't get me wrong, I would appreciate any help I can get. I don't want anyone here to think that is the reason I am here. When the time is right, I will share it with whomever is interested and/or willing to help. What I really need is sincere prayers and positive thoughts.

          May Allah bless you all,
          Ahmed R.

          (Edit) I'm sorry I deleted some of my post, I felt that I was giving too much information.

            Why not just patent it?

              Hi Ahmed.

              When did you start this project ? I'm sure you can give more concrete details about this project without giving away the core concept. I'd like some more details about everything you've done until this point. if you can. thanks

                Why not just patent it?

                Easier said than done. I explored this route already, but I must say, I have not explored it thoroughly. My understanding is that to patent an intellectual property, the idea must include something innovating, or something that is absolutely new. Unfortunately, the only thing I am doing is taking pieces and making them work together. It's hard to explain, but remarkably, it seems that no one put two and two together. I managed to think of a few things that, when put together, compliment each other in such an elegant and effortless way. Honestly, it is only a matter of time before someone with the resources gets on the same page as myself. I am racing against time because I fear the intentions with the profits would not be righteous.

                I'm not completely sure yet. I may still be able to patent my method/system. I will be exploring this a little more with a lawyer, but not until I am ready to launch. This way, the lawyer cannot steal the method/system. I can simply launch soon after discussing the legal rights. I can't trust anyone, especially a lawyer.

                I have no doubt that most religious communities will support this project, Inshallah. Mainly because of it's level of transparency. Like I said, 100% transparent/open-source. I will conduct business behind a glass wall.

                  Salaam Cerberus,

                  So far, I've began development on the webpage and the app (we're 2 months in). I wish I could share details as to what it is, but just enough information would give it away to corrupt minds. It is expected to be fully operational some time between July to September of this year. Once we get close to launch, I will share a good chunk of it to gain more support. I know that sharing "a good chunk" before launch will be enough to attract everyone, Inshallah. But it won't be until just before launch that I share the truly world changing part of the system. Just be patient and pray for me.

                    Salam AhmedR,

                    How did you come to Quran alone?
