About Deen Diet
Reconnecting Muslims worldwide with the Prophetic diet through Sunnah-inspired recipes
Deen Diet is a UK-based food media brand that reconnects Muslims with the Prophetic diet, helps home cooks make tasty snacks and meals using Sunnah foods, and lets you personalise recipes to your diet, allergies and kitchen using AI.
Our story
Deen Diet first took root during my second-year studies at the Micro Madrasa in Liverpool. At the time, I was also working as a designer, trying to find a way for the skills Allah had blessed me with to be of service to the deen.
As part of our Shama'il module, I intended a project centred on reviving two particular aspects of the Prophet's ﷺ life that often go overlooked. One of those is Deen Diet. The second, I've decided that to give it due right, it should be a project of its own.
And so, the idea I'd penned for my Rabi' project in November 2021 was:
Vision
To build a dedicated online platform that presents the Shama'il of the Prophet ﷺ in a bitesize and easy-to-digest manner. The initial focus areas will be the prophetic diet.
Intention
We know that the Prophet ﷺ would eat in frugality and did not have a breakfast, lunch and dinner routine as we do today in modernity. However, in recognising the foods from the Qur'an and Hadith, I will try and utilise this project as a means to encourage the Ummah to revive the Prophetic diet - or at least some part of it within our daily diet - by publishing easy-to-follow recipes that make tasty snacks and meals using the Sunnah foods.
In'Sha'Allah, the Ummah can benefit by knowing the Sunnah foods and making the intention for reward every time a piece of it is consumed, as well as advising myself and them towards the better diet, and the healthier way of life.
The seed was planted then, and tended to in recent months. I pray Allah allows it to grow into something fruit-bearing. And with that, may Deen Diet fulfil the good of its intentions and purpose - and especially through its educational component, serve as a means of connecting the individual to his Messenger ﷺ.

Our mission
Modern life has disconnected us from the foods the Prophet ﷺ ate and recommended. Processed meals dominate our tables whilst the blessed food and ingredients sit forgotten in our kitchens, or never make it home at all. Deen Diet was created to bridge this gap by making it effortless for Muslim families to bring these blessed foods back into daily life.
We believe cooking that's inspired by the Sunnah transforms ordinary meals into acts of worship through intention and revival of a Sunnah. By making these foods accessible through easy-to-follow recipes, we help you:
Make intention for reward with every meal you prepare and consume
Nourish your family with wholesome, blessed foods rooted in revelation
Connect with sacred tradition in your everyday life, not just special occasions
Teach children about prophetic foods through the joy of cooking together
The 26 Superfoods
Our recipes are built around the core food and ingredients, which we term as 'superfoods', mentioned in the Quran and Sunnah. Each chosen for both spiritual significance and nutritional benefits:
| Proteins & Dairy | Chicken, Lamb, Beef, Fish, Milk, Butter |
| Grains & Seeds | Barley, Bread, Black Seeds |
| Vegetables | Beetroot, Cucumbers, Garlic, Ginger, Onions, Pumpkin |
| Fruits | Dates, Figs, Grapes, Melon, Pomegranate, Watermelon |
| Pantry Essentials | Olives, Olive Oil, Vinegar, Honey, Water |
Each superfood carries both barakah through its connection with the Prophet ﷺ and practical health benefits which is a beautiful reminder that what's blessed is also what's best for us.
Our technology
Alongside carefully written and expertly curated recipes, Deen Diet uses some of the world's most advanced AI models to generate authentic and delicious recipes.

- The 26 core Sunnah ingredients and their traditional uses
- Islamic dietary guidelines and halal preparation methods
- Regional cooking styles from across the Muslim world

Whether you choose our "Inspire me" mode for creative suggestions or "My kitchen" mode to work with ingredients you already have, Deen Diet creates recipes that honour prophetic tradition while fitting your modern lifestyle.
Authenticated scriptural sources
All references to the Quran and Sunnah come from our manually curated library of verified Islamic texts. We never rely on AI for religious content.
