The Dār

A small Dār that builds games, books, and tools for the Deen.

Dār as-Sayf wal-Qalam is the Dār. As-Sayf wal-Qalam is also the game series it is named for, and the first title in that series is Qurṭuba, set in al-Andalus.

The name

السيف والقلم

The sword and the pen. The sword is the games, which are about war and rule. The pen is the written work.

How the work is made

As-Sayf wal-Qalam is built slowly and precisely, outside the studios, with every Shar'i information being carefully and accurately researched manually by devoted students of the Deen of Allah.

The standard

  • No images of living beings, in any part of any work.
  • Everything Shar'i is taken from the books themselves.
  • Where a rule would be more fun but false, it stays false and is left out.
  • Plain language. A thing is called what it is.
