/why_

Everyone you know is carrying something. The weight is not the strange part.

The Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, named it in two halves and sought refuge from both: hamm, the weight of what is coming, and hazan, the weight of what has already happened. There used to be a door for it. That door has narrowed, and fourteen centuries of written answers sit out of reach. Having nowhere to put it down is the strange part.

/how-i-think_

Find the real problem first. Then the dua.

  1. 01

    A conversation, not a search box.

    You rarely know the name of what you are carrying. So itminan asks a few quiet questions, the way an unhurried person would, then shows a short summary you can say yes to. The dua comes after.

  2. 02

    It never writes one.

    Every word it gives you was already there, preserved. The Arabic with its vowel marks, a translation, and the citation for the collection it came from. It does not write, edit, or improve a dua.

  3. 03

    Urdu is not a translation.

    Urdu and English from the first screen, typed or spoken out loud. No name is needed. Nothing you say is tied to who you are.

  4. 04

    The dua is never behind a wall.

    Free to start. What is paid is unlimited conversations and saved duas across devices. The dua itself is free, and always will be.

/one-dua-a-day_

One dua a day, from the authentic sunnah.

Distribution, for now, is me. Every day I teach one dua of the Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, on TikTok, Instagram and Facebook. They play here.

/where-it-stands_

Early. Honestly early.

Live since August 2026, in Urdu and English, installable from the browser. People arrive, read, and most do not start a conversation yet. A new way of finding a dua is a new habit. The English and Urdu display text is with a mufti for review, so the dua pages stay out of search until it is done. Version one is finished and frozen until the evidence says otherwise.

/the-intention_

Where it goes, if Allah SWT wills.

The place Muslims come to ask, to talk to the ulama, and to be heard. If there is someone who knows you, go and sit with them first. itminan displaces nobody. I built it for myself, funded it myself, and I ask Allah SWT to accept it.

/you_

Want to help it reach people?

An alim who would review the text. Someone who would help it find the people it is for. Or you tried it and want to tell me what happened.
