This is the website of Ismail!
Welcome back to the golden age of the internet!
The old internet hasn't completely died away. It's just a matter of looking in the right places! This website will serve as my personal page, but will also provide some information on how to relive the experience of the early 2000s internet.
NOTE: This website is best viewed on PC (even though I've put effort to make it responsive as well)!

ANNOUNCEMENT [28.2.2025.]:
TL;DR: I will be taking a break from updating this site during the month of March.
See you again in April!
Full Announcement:
Ever since I made this page, on January 3rd, 2025, I was working on it and making additions and updates almost every day.
However now, since the month of Ramaḍān is coming (this year it aligns with the month of March), I am planning to put a halt on all of my projects which are in no way related to ‘ibādah, and strive to focus more on acquiring thawāb and ḥasanāt during this mubarāk month.

قال الله تبارك وتعالى: يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلصِّيَامُ كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ البقرة / ١٨٢. وقال أيضا: شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أُنزِلَ فِيهِ ٱلْقُرْءَانُ هُدًى لِّلنَّاسِ وَبَيِّنَـٰتٍ مِّنَ ٱلْهُدَىٰ وَٱلْفُرْقَانِ ۚ فَمَن شَهِدَ مِنكُمُ ٱلشَّهْرَ فَلْيَصُمْهُ ۖ وَمَن كَانَ مَرِيضًا أَوْ عَلَىٰ سَفَرٍ فَعِدَّةٌ مِّنْ أَيَّامٍ أُخَرَ ۗ يُرِيدُ ٱللَّهُ بِكُمُ ٱلْيُسْرَ وَلَا يُرِيدُ بِكُمُ ٱلْعُسْرَ وَلِتُكْمِلُوا۟ ٱلْعِدَّةَ وَلِتُكَبِّرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ مَا هَدَىٰكُمْ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ وَإِذَا سَأَلَكَ عِبَادِى عَنِّى فَإِنِّى قَرِيبٌ ۖ أُجِيبُ دَعْوَةَ ٱلدَّاعِ إِذَا دَعَانِ ۖ فَلْيَسْتَجِيبُوا۟ لِى وَلْيُؤْمِنُوا۟ بِى لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْشُدُونَ
Translation: "O you who have attained to faith! Fasting is ordained for you as it was ordained for those before you, so that you might remain conscious of God;" (Qur'ān 2:183); "It was the month of Ramaḍān in which the Qur'ān was first bestowed from on high as a guidance unto man and a self-evident proof of that guidance, and as the standard by which to discern the true from the false. Hence, whoever of you lives to see this month shall fast throughout it; but he that is ill, or on a journey, shall fast instead for the same number of other days. God wills that you shall have ease, and does not will you to suffer hardship; but He desires that you complete the number of days required, and that you extol God for His having guided you aright, and that you render your thanks unto Him. And if My servants ask thee about Me - behold, I am near; I respond to the call of him who calls, whenever he calls unto Me: let them, then, respond unto Me, and believe in Me, so that they might follow the right way." (Qur'ān 2:185-186)
عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: «إذا جاء رمضان فتحت أبواب الجنة وغلقت أبواب النار وصفدت الشياطين» (رواه البخاري مسلم). وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه، قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : «قال الله عز وجل: كل عمل ابن آدم له إلا الصيام، فإنه لي وأنا أجزي به.» (رواه البخاري مسلم).
Translation: "When the month of Ramadān comes, the gates of paradise are opened, the gates of hell are closed, and the devils are chained." (al-Bukhāri and Muslim). Allāh the Almighty said: Every deed of the son of Adam is for himself, except for fasting, it is for me, and I will [specially] reward him for it. (al-Bukhāri and Muslim)."
