Why Zawjen?

Turning towards nature leads to the recognition of Allah. However, when people spend their lives engrossed in buildings, roads, and human-made objects through mobile devices and modern life, their hearts become so clouded that they gradually lose touch with Allah’s creation—such as butterflies, birds, shores, and oceans.

To break this cycle, the Zawjen al-Tawheed project has been initiated to reconnect people with nature, just as a child remains attached to a mother’s love. Of course, such transformation is gradual. The project begins with a website and mobile app, but its ultimate goal is societal change. Today, almost everyone uses mobile phones and the internet. Therefore, a platform is planned where people can differentiate between truth and falsehood, guiding them on the journey of Tawheed (monotheism). This platform will be accessible to children, elders, women, men, Muslims, non-Muslims, Asians, and Europeans—offering easy means to reflect on nature and Tawheed in their respective languages. The vision is to create a scholarly environment where everyone becomes a seeker of knowledge, making the world once again a mysterious realm where those who uncover its secrets are revered. A global quest for truth and mysteries will emerge, bringing new discoveries and insights that will rekindle unity through Tawheed.

To spread the message of Tawheed to all—children, elders, women, professionals, and businesspeople—certain foundational steps must be taken to distinguish truth from falsehood. Tawheed is embedded within human nature; people inherently recognize right and wrong. Murder, adultery, and theft are universally condemned, while courage, love, and forgiveness are celebrated. Beyond these moral principles, the wonders of nature point toward an immense mystery.

The Micro and the Cosmic Mysteries

At the microscopic level, life consists of molecules, atoms, and subatomic particles—from DNA structures to cell membranes, bacteria, viruses, and plant cells. Every living being, whether human or animal, is composed of these microscopic elements, which determine its growth and existence. These minute details invite us to ponder over the grand mystery of life.

On the other hand, the vast universe is equally astonishing. The distances between stars, galaxies, and planets are beyond human comprehension, measured in billions of light-years. These cosmic wonders remain an unsolved enigma, leading scientists toward continuous discoveries while the ultimate truth remains elusive. Both the microscopic and the cosmic realms invite humans to contemplate the mystery of existence.

Establishing the Standard for Truth

To understand these mysteries, humans turn to divine scriptures, which claim to be from the Creator of these vast and intricate realities. To make these teachings accessible through simple graphics, videos, and articles, it is essential to establish a robust standard for distinguishing truth from falsehood. Before spreading the message of Tawheed, we need a reliable means to verify the authenticity of books and information so that people can confidently pursue the path leading to ultimate truth.

Launch of the Zawjen al-Tawheed Platform

The first step in this mission is the launch of the website www.zawjen.net. This platform will connect thousands of Arabic dictionaries and Isma al-Rijal (biographical evaluation of Hadith narrators) with the Quran and millions of Hadiths in multiple languages. Over time, the project will expand to include other books, religions, and sciences.

To ensure accuracy, all information will be classified into three categories:

  • Green (Truthful) – Verified and authentic content
  • Red (Falsehood) – Content proven to be incorrect
  • Yellow (Doubtful) – Information that requires further investigation

This categorization will present different perspectives along with their evidence, allowing users to conduct their own research. Their findings will also be categorized as green, red, or yellow, fostering an open-source scholarly community where verified truths can be effectively communicated to people of all backgrounds.
