Why prepare
Ordinary things go wrong, and the systems people rely on go down more often than they used to.• A little kept ready keeps your household calm when they do.
- Banks and cards. In late 2026, a cyberattack disrupted online banking at a bank in France•, and a bank in Paraguay• had its accounts and cards frozen overnight.
- Food shops. In the same weeks, coordinated cyberattacks disabled supermarket freezers across Europe•.
- Phones. In July 2022, a network outage cut millions of Canadians off from phone service and 9-1-1 for a day.•
- The people who count on you. Preparing is a small, practical step that protects children, elders and neighbours, and Islam encourages it (Quran 12:47–48; al-Tirmidhi 2517).
Your checklist
Five quick questions build a checklist for your home.
- Start small. Each item is marked Now, Bit by bit or When you can, so nothing has to be bought all at once.
- Tick what you have. Tap any item to see why it matters.
- For the moment itself. Nine quick cards with the first steps, calculators for water and meals, and prayer times that work offline.
Private and offline
Everything you enter stays on this device.
- No account. Nothing is sent anywhere, and nothing is tracked.
- Works without a signal. Add the app to your home screen, and your checklist and quick cards open even when the network is down.
