Qaf Islamic AI has surpassed 25,000 users as it builds an AI-powered way to search more than 8,000 Islamic books while keeping human scholarship at the center.
Founded by Abdellatif Abdelfattah, CEO of Qaf and Agentset and one of the builders behind Tarteel, the platform provides source-backed answers to questions about Islamic knowledge. Quranic verses and hadith are clickable, allowing users to review the underlying material rather than rely solely on generated responses.
According to Abdelfattah, Qaf is designed to show different recognized scholarly opinions instead of presenting one view as universally correct. The company also aims to prevent the platform from becoming a replacement for scholars or a “fatwa bot.”
The product is built on technology connected to Agentset, Abdelfattah’s AI retrieval infrastructure company. Qaf’s growth has also highlighted the economics of consumer AI. The company said daily token costs reached about $8,000 before optimization reduced them to roughly $1,500.
Abdelfattah said Qaf is intended to help users find relevant sources and prepare for conversations with qualified scholars, not replace those conversations. As the platform grows, he said the company aims to establish a scholarly board to help guide governance and AI outputs.
