Islamabad, Tilford, 7 February 2026: The Alislam.org team was blessed with a mulaqat with Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, Khalifatul Masih Vaa.
Upon arrival, Huzooraa conveyed his salaam and took a seat. He then invited Syed Labeeb Janood Sahib for the recitation of the Holy Quran. He recited verse nine of Surah at-Tahrim (chapter 66).
Quran search, AI assistant, references and citations
Qamar Suleiman Sahib presented updates regarding the Quran section of the website. He reported that significant enhancements had been made to the search functionality, alongside the integration of direct links to additional references and ahadith.
He explained that while users could previously search for specific Arabic words or English keywords, a new “search assistant” powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI) had been introduced. This feature allows users to search for broader topics or subjects. The AI analyses the translations and commentaries to identify relevant verses even if the specific keyword does not appear in the text.
To demonstrate, the presenter searched for “love for Allah”, a topic mentioned in Huzoor’saa sermon the previous day. The system immediately retrieved the relevant verse from Surah Aal-e-Imran. A search for “purpose of life” similarly yielded the specific verse from Surah adh-Dhariyat.
The team highlighted the addition of references. Alongside the existing tafsir links, users can now access citations from the books of the Promised Messiahas and the Khulafa, including sermons. A demonstration showed that clicking on the reference option for a verse in Surah al-Ma’idah displayed links to Ruhani Khazain, Malfuzat and books of the sermons of various Khulafa.
The presenter displayed how a verse is mapped to specific pages in Jamaat literature, such as Khutbat-e-Mahmud, allowing the user to jump directly to the page where the verse is discussed.
Huzooraa expressed satisfaction with the improvements, particularly the addition of Hadith references and citations. Huzooraa advised that a user guide or tutorial should be created to explain how to open and navigate these references, ensuring that even those who are not technically minded can utilise the features effectively. The team confirmed they would add such a guide.
ReadHadith.app and AI cautions
Masood Nasir Sahib presented the new Hadith application and database, accessible via ReadHadith.app. He explained that a dedicated database had been created to facilitate the reading and searching of Hadith alongside the Quran app.
The database currently includes Urdu translations of Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, one volume of Sunan Ibn Majah, Hadiqat-us-Salihin and the English translation of Riyad-us-Salihin (Gardens of the Righteous). Upon enquiry from Huzooraa, he noted that the English translation of Sahih al-Bukhari’s first volume would be added later.
It was reported that the database was prepared by missionaries assigned to Alislam, with significant effort from Junaid Aslam Sahib.
Huzooraa was shown the interface, where users can browse by collection or topic. A key feature highlighted was the linking of “related ahadith”. If a Hadith appears in one chapter but is also narrated elsewhere under a different topic, the system links them, allowing the user to view all related narrations across the collection. Important text is bolded for focus and Quranic verses mentioned within ahadith are hyperlinked to the Quran app. Conversely, the Quran app also links back to relevant ahadith.
Huzooraa referenced recent reports warning against over-reliance on AI. The presenter acknowledged this, noting that they had tested the AI and found it could sometimes provide incorrect references or subject matter. Huzooraa stressed the importance of verifying the references provided by the AI.
Launch of the mobile Hadith app
Bilal Ahmad Sahib presented the dedicated mobile app for iOS and Android. He explained that the app supports offline use, as collections are saved to the device. It includes features for bookmarking, sharing, font resizing and switching between light and dark themes.
The app searches through the entire collection to find specific topics. A feedback button was also included for users to report issues directly to the team.
Dr Nasim Rehmatullah Sahib, Chairman Alislam, then presented the phone, upon which Huzooraa graciously launched the app.
Hyperlinking in Al Hakam and Al Fazl
Danial Mahmood Sahib, a missionary serving with the Alislam team, presented the project to hyperlink articles in Al Hakam and Al Fazl. He recalled Huzoor’saa previous instruction to connect publications directly to original source material.
He reported that over 200 articles and the past year’s Friday sermons had been processed. Now, when a reader encounters a quote from the Promised Messiahas, a Quranic verse or a hadith within an article, they can click the citation to be taken directly to the original page or verse on Alislam. This ensures that readers do not have to rely on secondary citations but can instantly verify the context from authoritative sources.
AI and authentic content
Faraz Ahmed Sahib presented on the interaction between AI and Alislam. He explained that the team is working to ensure AI systems are guided towards authentic Ahmadiyya content.
He demonstrated that the website has been formatted so that AI crawlers can read it efficiently. As a result, when AI tools are asked questions – such as finding the latest Friday Sermon – they now provide correct answers with citations linking back to Alislam. He also noted that the team has enabled options for major platforms to train their models on Alislam content, ensuring AI learns from reliable sources rather than misinformation.
He concluded by stating that the team’s goal is to ensure their content influences AI, rather than AI influencing their content.
Marketing and analytics
Salman Sajid Sahib presented the marketing and analytics report. Following Huzoor’saa previous instruction to better promote features and collaborate with other departments, the team had revamped their newsletter, achieving a 35 per cent open rate, which is significantly higher than the industry standard.
The team also collaborated with MTA to produce a series on the Quran and science and used social media channels to highlight the digital library.
Regarding analytics, it was reported that engagement time on the new website had increased significantly. Huzooraa queried a spike in the user graph in July and October. The July spike was attributed to Jalsa Salana and the October increase to the various ijtemas.
Huzooraa expressed satisfaction with the report, noting that it reflected genuine achievement and hard work, rather than mere reporting. Huzooraa mentioned that he personally visits the site and finds the new features, particularly the Quran search functionality, to be very useful. He also appreciated the inclusion of the Hadith and other references.
Conclusion
Brief introductions were given by the remaining team members, including those working on the library project, OpenQuran, e-books, mobile apps, quality assurance and the Friday Sermon section. It was noted that the digital library now hosts over 1,500 books.
As the meeting concluded, the team had the honour of a group photograph with Huzooraa. Huzooraa graciously gifted pens to the attendees before taking leave.
