Classical Dars-e-Nizami texts, mapped lesson by lesson from real study notes. Not AI. Not a summary. Open a book, teach from it, study from it.
Three audiences. Three different pains. One tool that addresses all of them.
The same book, three different teachers, three different standards. What one covers completely, another skips entirely. The institute absorbs the inconsistency and has no tool to fix it.
Organizing dense classical passages into dictation notes takes time every teacher does not have. That time comes out of rest, family, or the depth of the lesson itself. Week after week.
You leave class with notes. You sit with the ibārah at home and it still does not fully click. Classical texts are dense, and a forty-minute lesson cannot explain everything. What you need is a Sharḥ. These maps are that.
One consistent map. Every teacher in the institute teaching from the same explanation. Every student leaving with notes they can actually use.
Before you judge these maps by what you are expecting, know what you are not looking at.
Flashcards test recall. Summaries compress what was already written. Neither explains anything. These maps explain the ibārah: the meaning behind the words, the ruling and why, the scenarios being addressed. Understanding first. Revision follows.
No algorithm produced these branches. Every node was written by someone who sat with the text, thought through what it means, and mapped what he learned. These are my personal study notes, taken across years of real durus with accomplished teachers. Not one branch came from an AI prompt.
No XP. No streaks. No leaderboards. No badges for opening the app three days in a row. This is a serious scholarly tool built for people who study classical Islamic texts because the material matters to them, not because an app is awarding them points for it.
This tool supports what happens in the classroom. It does not replace the relationship between a student and their teacher, or the barakah that comes from studying knowledge through a living human being.
These are not chapter summaries. Scroll to explore.
Six tools live inside every map. Three for how you study. Three for how you learn. Nothing to install, nothing to switch between.
The Outliner collapses the mindmap into a clean, scrollable list. Every chapter at a glance. Expand only what you need. Navigate with arrow keys. Mastery dots show which branches still need work at a glance.
Self-Test hides all children of the selected branch. Your task: recall each condition, ruling, and definition before tapping to reveal it. Retrieval practice builds the kind of memory that revision alone cannot.
Tag any branch Shaky or Hard as you study. The Review Deck builds itself from those tags. Work through the flashcards, rate each answer, and the deck shrinks. Exam day holds no surprises for the student who reviewed.
When a passage stops you, a masʾalah you cannot parse or a ruling whose condition you cannot place, A.Ilm explains it in plain language, right inside the map. No new tab, no searching. The understanding comes to you.
What the ustādh added that is not in the kitāb. The example that made it click. The condition you keep forgetting. Write it onto the branch where it belongs. When revision comes, your notes are already in their place.
The ustādh pauses. You are three branches deep into a difficult masʾalah. Bookmark it in one tap and jump back to it exactly. Not approximately. Not after scrolling. Exactly where you left off, every time.
You are not looking for a shortcut. You are sitting with difficult texts, trying to organize what you hear in class, and struggling to make revision make sense later. These maps were built from the same books, in the same seat. Not to replace your study, but to give it a structure it was always missing.

Choose from the growing Dars-e-Nizami library. Every lesson is already structured, branched, and ready to teach. No preparation needed.
Dictate what is already written, organized for flow, clarity, and full coverage. Hard passages are already broken down so you can teach properly.
Students leave with clean, structured notes they wrote themselves. Revision is faster because the structure is already familiar from class.
When the structure is already handled, your energy goes to explanation, examples, and the parts of teaching that no map can replace.
The notes that students wouldn't stop asking for.
Time and time again, after finishing a lesson, students would ask: "Can I have a copy of your notes?"
It happened in classes. It happened at workshops. It kept happening, until I realised these maps weren't just useful for teaching. They were what students needed to study with.
Here's the thing: I didn't make these to teach. I made them to understand.
I started mind mapping my ʿĀlimiyyah books in 2019, while I was still a student myself. Dense passages from al-Qudūrī, al-Hidāyah, Dars-e-Tirmidhī, the classical texts we were studying. I was sitting with the same books you're sitting with, just as confused at times, and mapping was how I made sense of them. Over the years, across dozens of subjects, I built over 100,000 branches.
When I started teaching, I already had the maps. So I taught from them. And something changed. Students could follow along more easily. Difficult passages had a shape. The same structure that had helped me understand as a student was now helping them understand too.
These are not AI-generated notes. There is no algorithm behind these maps. These are my personal study notes from real durus with accomplished teachers. Hours and hours of my own work, my own understanding, my own way of breaking down difficult material. Every branch represents something I had to think through myself.
My name is Omar Multani. I completed my ʿĀlimiyyah in 2023 at Dār al-ʿUlūm Canada and have been teaching in multiple madāris since. These maps came with me the whole way. Now it's time they did the same for you.
Every paid plan includes the ability to book a 1-on-1 session from the dashboard. Bring the passage you cannot make sense of, the masʾalah that is not clicking, the chapter that keeps losing your students.
Structured maps, built from real ʿĀlimiyyah study. Open a book tonight and teach from it tomorrow. 14-day guarantee on every paid plan.
