About Babul Ilm
Welcome to Babul Ilm, your gateway to profound knowledge and spiritual enlightenment, inspired by the teachings of Ahlulbayt (AS).
Babul Ilm is dedicated to building a comprehensive knowledge base deeply rooted in the sacred traditions of Shia Islam. Our platform offers answers to your questions drawn from the Holy Quran, authentic hadiths, the history of the Masoomen (peace be upon them), supplications, and Islamic jurisprudence. We also provide Quranic exegesis from the esteemed work An Enlightening Commentary into the Light of the Holy Qur'an by A Group of Muslim Scholars, under the direction of Ayatullah Allamah Al-Hajj Sayyid Kamal Faqhih Imani, aiming to present the divine wisdom as understood by the followers of Ahlulbayt.
This project is a humble tribute to the Ahlulbayt (AS), whose lives exemplify the path of truth, justice, and compassion. We dedicate Babul Ilm to their sacred memory, striving to spread the light of their teachings far and wide.
Our mission is to create a seamless, user-friendly experience that adapts to any device, making this rich knowledge accessible to all, anytime, anywhere. We invite you to join us in this endeavor to illuminate minds and hearts, fostering a deeper understanding of the divine teachings within the Shia tradition.
May this effort be a source of ongoing reward (sadaqah jariyah) for all those who contribute, and may it serve as a beacon of guidance for seekers of truth.

Privacy Policy for Babul Ilm
Last Updated: August 6, 2025
Welcome to Babul Ilm ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information in our application. Our core principle is privacy by design; we do not collect or store your personal data.
1. Information We Do Not Collect
We want to be crystal clear about the information we do not collect from you:
- Personal Data: We do not require you to create an account. We do not collect any personal information such as your name, email address, phone number, or location.
- Questions & Conversations: Your questions are processed in real-time to provide answers from our internal Shia Islamic database. We do not store, log, or save your questions or the resulting conversations. Each interaction is stateless and anonymous. The AI model only uses the query to frame the answer and does not retain any information post-response.
2. How We Use Information
The sole purpose of processing any information is to provide the service requested. Your question is sent to our backend system, which uses an AI model to structure an answer based on our verified, in-house database of Shia Islamic knowledge. The query is used transiently for this purpose and immediately discarded.
3. Third-Party Services
We use a limited number of third-party services to operate our application:
- Google Cloud Functions: Our backend logic, which processes your questions, is hosted on Google Cloud Functions. Google may collect anonymous, aggregate data for service operation, as outlined in their privacy policy.
- Firebase (for Quran Tracker): The optional Quran Tracker feature uses Firebase Realtime Database to save your progress anonymously to a unique link that you control. This data is not linked to any personal identity.
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these services:
4. Data Security
While we do not store your personal data or questions, we implement security measures to protect the integrity of our application and its communication with our backend services. All data in transit is encrypted using standard protocols (HTTPS/SSL).
5. Children’s Privacy
Our service is not directed to children under the age of 9. We do not knowingly collect any information from children. If you believe we might have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.
6. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
