What Would Al-Khwarizmi Think of ChatGPT?
AI has Islamic roots most Muslims don't know about. The word "algorithm" itself comes from a Muslim scholar. Here's the inspiring story โ and what it means for us today.
The word "algorithm" โ the very foundation of every AI system โ comes from the name of Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi, a 9th-century Muslim mathematician from the House of Wisdom in Baghdad. Before Silicon Valley, before ChatGPT, before machine learning, there was the Islamic Golden Age โ and Muslims were the engineers of progress.
Al-Khwarizmi gave us algebra and the decimal number system. Al-Jazari built programmable automata. Ibn al-Haytham laid the groundwork for optics and the scientific method. These weren't coincidences โ they were the fruits of a civilisation that took seriously the Quranic command: "Read! In the name of your Lord who created." (96:1)

How I Build Websites as a Full-Time Medical Student
My exact process for designing and launching clean, fast websites โ between lectures, late nights, and clinical prep.
People assume that building a website takes weeks of uninterrupted work. It doesn't. In my pre-MBBS gap, I self-taught web design, domain registration, hosting, and deployment โ and I built my first websites in focused, intentional sprints.
Here's my process: 1. Brief & Structure โ Clear goals in Notion. 2. Design First โ Wireframe in Figma. 3. Build in Sprints โ Focused 90-minute blocks. 4. Launch Lean โ Iterate in public.

What Nobody Tells You About Getting Into Medical College
The MBBS entrance exam. The waiting. The result day. And what happens to your identity when you actually get in.
On 12th December 2025, I sat the entrance exam. On 14th December, I was selected. Alhamdulillah. But medicine is not about being the smartest; it's about consistency and compassion. The Prophet ๏ทบ said: "Allah did not send down a disease except that He also sent down a cure." Service is the heart of it.
