How these are made
Each episode is written by the IMATX Dawah team from classical Sunni sources and read by an AI voice. The narration is a summary, the classical commentary is paraphrased rather than quoted word for word, and the reflections at the end are ours. Qur'an recitation is Mishary Rashid Alafasy. Every episode page lists what it drew on.
If something is wrong, tell us and we will fix it — the episode pages carry a revision line.
