Description

@abdinzaghi5601

Assalamu Alaikum,

I am requesting API access for Islamic Nexus (https://islamicnexus.org), a comprehensive Islamic learning platform that serves the Muslim community with authentic Quranic and Hadith resources.

Project Details

Platform: Islamic Nexus
URL: https://islamicnexus.org
Purpose: Provide Muslims worldwide with access to authentic hadith collections alongside Quranic study tools
Tech Stack: Next.js 15, PostgreSQL, TypeScript, Prisma ORM
Hosting: Hetzner VPS (Production)

API Usage Intent

We would like to integrate 8 additional hadith collections from Sunnah.com to complement our existing collection:

  1. Musnad Ahmad ibn Hanbal (~27,000 hadiths) - Largest collection by Imam Ahmad
  2. Sunan ad-Darimi (~3,500 hadiths) - Early jurisprudential collection
  3. Riyad as-Salihin (~1,900 hadiths) - Spiritual and moral guidance
  4. Al-Adab Al-Mufrad (~1,300 hadiths) - Islamic manners and etiquette
  5. Ash-Shama'il Al-Muhammadiyah (~400 hadiths) - Description of the Prophet ﷺ
  6. Mishkat al-Masabih (~6,000 hadiths) - Comprehensive topical collection
  7. Bulugh al-Maram (~1,500 hadiths) - Jurisprudential hadiths
  8. Hisn al-Muslim (~280 supplications) - Daily duas and remembrances

Current Status

We have already integrated 10 hadith collections from the fawazahmed0 CDN (the Six Books + Muwatta Malik + Forty Hadiths collections). The Sunnah.com API would allow us to complete our collection with these essential works that are not available via CDN.

Expected Usage

  • Initial Import: One-time bulk import of all 8 collections
  • Updates: Occasional updates to sync with any corrections or additions
  • Volume: ~42,000 hadiths total across the 8 collections
  • Frequency: Limited to initial import + monthly/quarterly updates
  • Rate Limiting: We will implement proper rate limiting and caching to minimize API calls

Technical Implementation

  • We have already developed the import infrastructure (import-hadith-sunnah.ts)
  • Built-in retry logic and error handling
  • Configurable rate limiting (default: 100ms between requests)
  • Batch processing with progress tracking
  • Dry-run mode for testing

Platform Features

Islamic Nexus provides:

  • Quran Study: 114 Surahs with multiple translations and tafsir
  • Hadith Collections: Growing library of authenticated hadith
  • Advanced Search: Full-text and semantic search capabilities
  • Word-by-Word Analysis: Arabic morphology and grammar
  • Cross-References: Links between Quran and Hadith
  • User Features: Bookmarks, notes, reading history
  • Progressive Web App: Works offline, mobile-optimized
  • Open Access: Free for all Muslims worldwide

Attribution & Compliance

  • We will provide clear attribution to Sunnah.com on all hadith pages
  • API key will be stored securely in environment variables
  • We commit to following all API usage guidelines and terms of service
  • Happy to display "Powered by Sunnah.com API" or similar attribution

About the Developer

I am a Muslim developer building this platform to serve the Ummah by making Islamic knowledge more accessible. The platform combines modern web technologies with traditional Islamic scholarship to help Muslims worldwide study their faith.

Why This Matters

By integrating these collections, Islamic Nexus will offer:

  • 18 major hadith collections (10 existing + 8 via API)
  • ~79,000 authenticated hadiths total
  • Organized by category and authenticity (Kutub al-Sittah, Major Collections, etc.)
  • Bilingual content (Arabic + English, with potential for more languages)
  • Free access to authentic Islamic texts for the global Muslim community

This will make Islamic Nexus one of the most comprehensive hadith resources available online, alhamdulillah.
