01

How Fikra started

It began as a way to turn ideas into real products.

Take a real problem, build a focused SaaS product fast and at almost no cost, and get it in front of a real customer within weeks. Masjid Fikra is the first product to come out of that approach.

01

Idea

A short memo before a line of code.

02

Build

A small crew. A real customer in weeks.

03

Launch

Live with real users, and improve alongside them.

02 — Our products

Focused products, in front of real users.

We don't build for clients. We build our own products — and run them.

Nizar Asfari, founder of Fikra
05 — Who's behind it

Hey, I'm Nizar.

Software engineer with 5+ years building web and mobile apps for startups and federal agencies — including NIH and the Department of Education.

Fikra means “idea” in Arabic. I started it to stop watching good ideas stall in planning. The model is simple: take a real problem, build a focused product fast and cheap, and put it in front of real people.

Masjid Fikra is the first product. It won't be the last.
