This is not really a post as such, more of an announcement. I am in the process of providing a weekly sms reminder for free, this would be in the form of quotes or small extracts sent to your mobile device.
This would be regardless of where in the world you might be, from the jungles of Africa to the igloos of Canada [and even to rainy old You Kay!]
If you are interested, email your phone number to ismaiil_84@msn.com.
I do realise that emailing your phone number is something private, but you are promised that it will not be used for any other purposes inshAllah.
I would be very grateful if I had some sort of feed back from people, is this a good idea? Do you already get these free reminders and perhaps get annoyed by them?
Please do not feel shy and tell me your honest opinions.
Asalaamu Alaikum,
I think it’s a superb idea akhi. I’d definitely be interested in receiving weekly reminders.
Assalaamu ‘Alaykum,
I agree with the sister above. Emailed my phone number to you akhee. May Allah reward you, and accept your efforts!
Assalaamo 3alaykom
Great idea! may Allah reward you, ameen.
Wassalaamo 3alaykom
Great Idea Akhee, A group of my friends used to do that but they’ve stopped now… May Allah reward you Aameen
I’ve been getting a few already now Alhumdulillah, I think ther’re great. keep it up!
Please let us know if you’re going ahead with this.
It has been going for almost a month now, people all encouraged to sign up whenever they want, even if they read this in a few months time inshAllah
Good idea. Should get it implemented.
Akhee one thing I must say is that the reminders should be short like your Twitter updates, otherwise people would be getting the message in the form of multiple texts which gets annoying. I hate getting an Islamic quote from someone which takes like four texts to fit.
JazzakAllah khair for pointing that out brother, if you get my weekly reminders then you will know that I try to make them one text at the longest they are two texts.
Just making sure lol, in that case let me email you my number inShaAllah
Assalaamu aleykum wa rahmatullah,
Is this free akhee? I’ll definitely send my phone number inshallah rightaway.
Jizakallahu alfa kheyran! May Allah azza wa jall reward you for your effort akhee.
wa alaikum assalam warahamtullahi wabaraktuh
It is completely free sister! No need to worry inshAllah. Hope you benefit bithnilAllah
So tell me akhee, when will i receive the first reminder? And is it like a daily or literally just weekly reminder, does it charge you anything?
What a nice way to give da’wa mashallah tabarakallah Akhee!
I try my best to make it once a week, it costs quite abit but it is all worth it. If you find them beneficial please forward them to family and friends aswell.
I might send it out today.
