AssalamuAlaikum.
With almost 20 years of experience in IT developing productive commercial applications, I am now in the pursuit of progressing my vision of an independent, simple, yet effective notification service targeting events for the Muslim community.
The idea is to have Muslim organisations use a singular system when wanting to notify the public of funerals, talks, courses, etc, and then for the public to subscribe to the same system to receive simple event SMS notifications with a link to a details page for that event.
The vision is that at any given time, you can view all the Muslim events happening in a given UK town regardless of event type or which Masjid or Muslim organisation is running the event. You will be notified via SMS based on your preference of which town/organisations you are interested in hearing from. The reason SMS has been chosen is to that regardless which is the popular messaging system of the day; SMS is always used by all.
Imagine walking into a building with a screen or browsing on your phone and being able to view at a glance what is happening in the town/city of your choice or if you know you will be travelling to another location for a funeral or other event and having the information at your fingertips... MuslimEvents aims to provide this InshaaAllah.
