April 5, 2025 marked a beautiful new beginning: the launch of Qisara, our AI-powered storytelling app for Muslim families. In just one month, Qisara reached over 1,000+ downloads across the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.

Here’s a transparent look at how we did it, what worked, and what’s coming next.

🌟 What Is Qisara?

Qisara is an AI-powered app that creates personalized Islamic stories for children, placing them at the center of fun, faith-filled adventures. The name “Qisara” means “pure story” — and that’s what we aim to deliver. Whether your child becomes a brave explorer in ancient Arabia or a curious student learning kindness through everyday life, Qisara makes Islamic values engaging, relatable, and fun.

🚀 The Launch — April 5, 2025

We started with no big budget and no PR team — just a deep belief in our mission, strong community support, and a year of solo development.

Here's how we launched:

  • ✅ Soft launch to beta users and early supporters
  • ✅ Unpaid social posts on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter/X
  • ✅ Minimal paid ads on Meta and Google Ads (low-budget testing only)
  • ✅ Product Hunt launch
  • ✅ Reddit outreach
  • ✅ Sharing with Islamic parenting groups
  • ✅ Encouraging family & friends to spread the word

Our early momentum came from community-driven traction, not ad spend. One of the strongest contributors was word-of-mouth in parenting circles and Muslim communities online.

📈 Growth Highlights

  • 📲 1,000+ downloads in 30 days
  • 🌍 Users from all around the globe
  • 🧕 Lots and lots of children starring in their very own Islamic stories
  • 💬 Based on feedback, we increased free story credits from 3 to 10 for new users

The feedback was overwhelmingly positive. Many parents loved how their kids lit up when hearing their name in the stories — and how the lessons aligned with Islamic teachings.

💡 What Helped Us Grow?

Here’s what worked well:

  • Personalized content: Children seeing themselves in stories triggered joy and engagement.
  • Islamic Parenting Groups: Authentic engagement in these communities helped us reach the right audience.
  • Simple, heart-led messaging: We focused on being helpful, not salesy.
  • Consistency on social media: Even unpaid posts can work when paired with authentic storytelling.

📅 What’s Next for Qisara?

This is just the beginning. We’re working on:

  • 🌐 More story languages
  • 📚 New story topics, styles, and locations
  • 💫 Improved story personalization

We’re building Qisara for every Muslim child — whether they speak English, Arabic, German, or beyond.
