Rabat, (IINA) - Moroccan entrepreneur and co-founder of Mercytech Yassine el Karyani is set to launch a new app for American mosques, Morocco World News reported.
Mercytech unveiled Islamically.com, a new web app that will boost the online presence of American mosques.
Islamically.com features profiles for mosques and their imams, an event promotion platform, and a video translation service to subtitle Muslim sermons from Arabic to English.
In addition, the app includes a fatwa engine to facilitate religious opinion requests coming from Muslims or non-Muslims living in America and route them strictly to imams that live in America.
“We no longer need to import Islamic knowledge from imams who are unfamiliar with the American lifestyle. American imams are better equipped to be the main source of Islamic knowledge for American Muslims, and this app facilitates this,” Yassine Elkaryani, Mercytech’s co-founder and managing partner, told Morocco World News.
“As the data we will be handling is sensitive, and because we may be targets of hacking, we vaccinated ourselves with the most advanced solutions out there to ensure continuity of our services without fear of intrusions or lengthy interruptions. The cost is higher but worth the investment,” explained Elkaryani.
Mercytech will host a service overview seminar on June 13th at 10:30 a.m. at Holiday Inn in Fort Lee, New Jersey to showcase Islamically.com to potential clients, advertisers, Muslim community activists, and press.
It is noteworthy that the new app services will be available to the public in August 2015.
