Why We Build
In Surah Saba, Allah commands building as an act of worship — not just labour, but craft with purpose and gratitude. From Al-Khwarizmi's algebra to Ibn al-Haytham's optics, that command echoes through our tradition. This session will prompt you on what will you build next.

Intentional Design
Furquan Ahmad
Product Designer at Meta
The best products don't start with code — they start with clarity. In this session, you'll define the problem you're solving, who you're solving it for, and the guardrails that keep your work intentional. Walk away with a blueprint you can build from immediately.

Winner of Alif x Replit Tournament
Ibrahim and Fatima Munawar won first place at the Alif x Replit hackathon in San Francisco — without writing a single line of code. They'll show you exactly how: how to prompt AI to build for you, how to iterate fast, and what shipping with excellence actually looks like.
