You can make money off Muslims by creating just about anything, as long as it’s halal of course.
All you iphone lovers that are trying to get your dhikr on, well let me just say there’s an app for just about anything, seriously.
haha! This is definitely technological innovation, but is it religious innovation?
It’s called the iSubha, one of my friends had it on his iphone and I was initially surprised but then I realized if we have automatic wudu washers then come on, welcome to the world.
Anyways, whatever your opinion is on this, here are some screen shots of the app. I’m still a blackberry crackberry user, so I still do dhikr the traditional way =).
Search the app store, not sure where it is exactly.

I use this and it’s pretty cool.
hmm…i do like the sound of this but im not a techy and also i have something better for you InshaAllah. the following are 3 sound ahadith referred to by Imaan Al-Shawkaani, which show that using the fingers to count are much better and rewarded by Allah rather than using the beads or other facets of counting dhikr InshaAllah. I’m not saying that it is haraam because it isn’t haraam but there is that which is better and we should strive to do what is better InshaAllah.
1 – From Yusayrah, and she was of the Emigrants, who
related: Allah’s Messenger, peace be upon him, said to
us: “Take to saying lå ilåha illa’Llåh, sub˙åna’Llåh and
sub ˙ åna’l- maliki’l- qudd¥ s, and be not negligent and so
be deprived of divine mercy. Count on your fingers, for
they shall be questioned and be made to speak.”2
2 – Sa‘d b. Ab• Waqqåß relates that he, along with Allah’s
Messenger, peace be upon him, visited a woman who
had infront of her some datestones or pebbles on which
she was counting the glorification of Allah. So he said
to her: “Shall I not inform you of something that would
be easier or be better for you than this? Say: Glory be to
Allah ( sub ˙ åna’Llåh) as many times as what He created
in the heavens. Glory be to Allah as many times as what
He has created on earth. Glory be to Allah as many times
as what He created between them. Glory be to Allah as
many times as what He is creating. Then Allah is greater
(Allåhu akbar) a like number of times; then Praise be to
Allah (al˙amduli’Llåh) a similar number of times; then
There is no deity worthy of worship save Allah (lå ilåha
illa’Llåh) a like number of times; then There is no might
nor power except Allah (lå ˙awla wa lå quwwata illa
bi’Llåh) a like number of times.”
3 – Safiyyah relates: Allah’s Messenger, peace be upon
him, visited me whilst I had infront of me four thousand
datestones upon which I was counting glorifications. He
said: “Do you count glorifications on these? Shall I not
teach you what surpasses this?” I replied: Teach me. He
said: “Say, sub˙åna’Llåh ‘adada khalqihi – Glory be to
Allah as many times as what He has created.”
Best method in my opinion. I used to use cellphones…

That is awesome! What a cool islamic app.
A friend I know has an app called iAthan.
It has prayer timings, and recites the athan at each time.
She also has iQuran!
The iPhone is ridiculously amazing.
