Your phone checks on everything.
Except your heart.
Yaqzah is a presence check. A few times a day — unannounced — a voice note arrives asking one question: where is your heart right now? The practice the scholars called muraqabah, in a form your pocket finally understands.
One email when Yaqzah opens. Nothing else, ever.

Between two states, the whole spiritual life is decided.
The sleep of the heart.
Hours pass. Tasks close. The day gets done — and He never once crossed your mind. It isn’t sin. It’s sleepwalking, and it’s where most of a life quietly disappears.
The heart, awake.
The moment the sleeper realizes he was asleep. Ibn al-Qayyim placed it first on the entire path to Allah — before repentance, before everything. Nothing begins until you wake.
Yaqzah lives in the gap between the two — and keeps pulling you back to the second.
Four steps. Thirty seconds. Straight to the heart.
It finds you unannounced
No schedule you can predict. The check arrives mid-scroll, mid-meeting, mid-dunya — landing in exactly the moments where ghaflah lives. You never see it coming. That is the entire point.
One breath first
Before a single word, the screen asks only that you breathe. In, and out. He is closer to you than that breath — وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ حَبْلِ الْوَرِيدِ
A word, in Ousama’s voice recorded
Not a text notification. Ousama speaks — thirty seconds, the Qur’an’s framing and a modern jolt, aimed at the exact place your heart wandered off to.
Return the glance
A moment of dhikr, then one honest question: were you present, drifting, or asleep? No judgment on the answer — the honesty itself is the practice. Your heart’s week, tracked like nothing else you own.
The world discovered “mindfulness” a decade ago.
Islam has taught this for fourteen centuries.
Muraqabah — to live watchful of the One who is watching you — is not borrowed from anywhere. The Prophet ﷺ named the very summit of the religion in a single sentence:
Every presence check is a rehearsal of that one line.
The presence check is the door.
The house is bigger than the door. Come in early.
Be there when it opens.
Yaqzah is in active development. Leave your email and you’ll be first through the door — with a founding-member place held for you.
One email at launch. That’s the whole deal.
