TikTok slideshows and Instagram carousels
Swipeable 5-8 slide posts: lists, "things I stopped doing", Fajr tips, with the app on the last slides. Cheap to make, very shareable, and TikTok pushes photo mode hard.

Why it works
- Saves and shares drive reach on carousels, and Islamic list posts get saved a lot.
- TikTok photo slideshows often get more reach than videos on new accounts.
- You can turn one idea into a TikTok slideshow and an Instagram carousel in the same 15 minutes.

How to make it
- Pick a template below (or a viral layout from topcarousels.com) and write 5-8 slides. One idea per slide, 12 words max.
- Design 1080x1350 for Instagram and 1080x1920 for TikTok in Canva or CapCut. Big text, high contrast, one calm photo or plain background.
- Put the app screenshots (download them below) on the last 1-2 slides only. The first slides must be pure value.
- Last slide: the CTA. "Link in bio" or "Comment FAJR".
- On TikTok, post as a photo slideshow with a trending nasheed-free sound or no sound. On Instagram, post as a carousel.
- Caption: repeat the hook, add one line of value, the CTA and 3-5 hashtags.

Rules for this format
- Check any hadith or verse you quote. If you're not sure of the source, leave it out.
- No music with instruments on Islamic content: many viewers dislike it. Use nasheeds without instruments, ambience or silence.
Plus the general content rules.
