Community Guidelines

The Rizanah community is a gender-separated, faith-based space where Muslims connect around fitness, nutrition, and holistic wellness. Whether you are just starting your fitness journey or have been training for years, this is your space to learn, share, and support one another.

These guidelines exist to keep the community safe, respectful, and focused. By accessing the community feature, you agree to follow these guidelines. Violations may result in content removal, temporary suspension, or permanent ban from the community.

This is a supportive space. Treat every member the way you would want to be treated.

• No harassment, bullying, intimidation, or personal attacks.
• No hate speech, discrimination, or derogatory language based on race, ethnicity, nationality, sect, school of thought, disability, or any other characteristic.
• Disagree respectfully. You can challenge ideas without attacking the person.
• No mocking or belittling someone's fitness level, body shape, or progress.
• Be encouraging. A simple word of support can make someone's day.

The community is focused on fitness, nutrition, wellness, and faith-based living.

• Post about topics that relate to fitness, nutrition, health, wellness, motivation, or the intersection of faith and fitness.
• Use the topic tags when posting (Fitness Tips, Nutrition, Motivation, Ramadan, New to Fitness, Mental Wellness, Questions) so others can find relevant content.
• Off-topic content (politics, news, entertainment unrelated to wellness) may be removed.
• If unsure whether something fits, ask yourself: "Would this help someone on their fitness journey?"

• Do not advertise products, services, businesses, or personal brands.
• Do not share affiliate links, discount codes, or referral links.
• Do not post repetitive content or copy-paste the same message across multiple posts.
• Do not solicit other users for money, donations, or business opportunities.
• Sharing a helpful recipe, app, or resource you genuinely use is fine, but framing it as a pitch is not.

• Do not share personal contact information in posts or comments: no phone numbers, email addresses, social media handles, or physical addresses.
• Do not share other people's personal information without their explicit consent.
• Do not screenshot or share community conversations outside of Rizanah.
• If someone shares a personal struggle, treat it with discretion and compassion.

• No explicit, sexual, or suggestive content.
• No graphic violence or disturbing imagery (the community is text-only, but this applies to descriptions as well).
• No glorification of eating disorders, extreme dieting, or harmful exercise practices.
• No content that encourages self-harm or dangerous behavior.
• Content should be appropriate for all adult ages in a faith-based context.

• Do not present personal opinions as medical or scientific facts.
• If sharing health or nutrition information, clarify that it is your personal experience, not professional advice.
• Do not diagnose, prescribe, or recommend specific medical treatments.
• When in doubt, encourage others to consult a qualified healthcare professional.

The Rizanah community is split into two separate feeds based on gender (set during onboarding). This is a core design principle, not an option.

• Respect the gender-separated model. Do not attempt to access or participate in the other gender's community.
• Rizanah brand posts from the official account may appear in both communities.
• If you believe your gender was set incorrectly during onboarding, update it in Settings > Account. Changing your gender switches your community feed immediately.

Community challenges are time-bound events designed to motivate consistent participation.

• Participate in good faith. Progress is auto-tracked from your actual workouts.
• Do not attempt to manipulate challenge leaderboards by logging fake workouts.
• Be supportive of other participants regardless of their ranking.
• Challenges have separate leaderboards for each gender community.

The Rizanah official account (marked with a verified badge) posts fitness tips, nutrition guidance, weekly discussion prompts, and challenge announcements. Brand posts may appear in both gender communities. These posts follow the same community guidelines as all other content.

We may update these guidelines as the community grows. Material changes will be announced via a pinned post in the community and you will be asked to re-agree before continuing to use the community feature. Minor clarifications may be made without notice.

If you have questions about these guidelines or need to report a concern:

Jazakum Allahu Khairan for helping us build a community that is safe, supportive, and beneficial.
