And do not think that Allah is unaware of what the wrongdoers do.
He only delays them for a Day when eyes will stare in horror.
(Surah Ibrahim 14:42)

My Lord, they burn the earth and choke the child,
They starve the infants, their cruelty wild.

They mock the heavens, seal mercy’s gate,
They drench the soil with the thirsty’s fate.

My Lord, I bear witness to every cry,
The night is heavy with screams that fly.

Even if the world forgets, You please do not,
Do I ask why? No, my Lord, I do not.

I send this pain only to You,
Register me among the steadfast and true.

Turn my prayer to fire on tyrants’ throne,
And shower Your mercy on the innocent alone.

Gaza cries, and the world tries to look away.
Even as aid is blocked, 

Give what you can. Speak where you stand. Share until the silence breaks.
Every act, every word, cracks the walls they build around the truth.

The siege may choke the land, but it cannot choke a conscience awake.
Stand. For Gaza. For humanity.

A haunting prayer amidst the suffering in Gaza. A cry for justice, a call to mercy, and a reminder to the world: even if humanity forgets, The Most Merciful does not.

My Lord, Do Not Forget

This post isn’t about a tech migration. It’s not about a framework or platform either. It’s about a journey; my journey. A journey through curiosity, doubt, discovery, frustration, and finally, growth.

. I was scared. Terrified, even. I hit publish, and sat there; wondering if I just exposed myself to the world without a shield. I had no idea what I was doing, but I still did it. That version of Aariz had no clue how to code, or even what code was. But he started.

. That changed things. It gave me a way to build apps; visually, with blocks, and that felt powerful. After that came 

. Platforms that offered possibilities, but still with constraints. I still remember how 

 felt sacred, like something only computer science grads were supposed to touch. I couldn’t even install it at one point.

But time passed. The Most Merciful opened doors. I kept learning.

This isn’t about abandoning Blogger or Joomla or Kodular. In fact, I recently built a friend's site using Joomla. It was mostly plugins, a bit of custom code here and there. These tools still matter. They serve their purpose. And I will use whatever tech is best suited for the task.

 — this site — marks something different.
It’s the beginning of an era where I 


Not just install templates, but write code.
Not just adjust settings, but architect experiences.

. I’ve made countless commits. Struggled through strange errors. Pushed my studio to Vercel. Faced setbacks. And yet, I kept pushing.

.
All of this — is learning. Is growth.


With His blessings, and her memories, I stand here.
Still building. Still learning.
Alhamdulillah. 🌙

Let this be a reminder to myself:
Progress is slow. But it’s real.
From SimDif to Sanity,
From no-code to full-stack.
From scared, to still scared — but 

And yet, we never forget where we started.

From templates to real code — building Aarizish from scratch. It’s all mine now. More than a site, it’s growth. It’s His mercy.

This Time, I Built It.

From classroom clutter to a central hub — how I designed NoteKit to organize and share notes with simplicity and elegance.


As a student, I was constantly sending notes to friends — scattered across chats, email, or PDFs. I needed a better system. So I built 

 — a simple, private Android app to share and access notes effortlessly. No more scroll-hunting or lost files.

Airtable gave me spreadsheet simplicity with RESTful power. I used it for everything — storing notes, static legal pages, user accounts, and feedback.

Inspired by Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines (HIG), I kept the UI clean and modern:

Users can register, log in, submit feedback, and even request account deletion — all via Airtable integration. PDF viewers block screenshots, and login state is managed with 

✅ Static pages (About, Privacy, Terms) powered by Airtable

Let users upload their own notes (camera to PDF)

Enable ViewProfileActivity and note authorship

Build a lightweight Community tab like Threads

Eventually, switch to a more scalable backend

NoteKit wasn’t built to be a product. It was built to solve a real, personal problem. With Java, Airtable, and clean UI inspiration from Apple, I created something fast, focused, and fulfilling.

"Minimal tools, maximum intent — that’s what NoteKit stands for."

Want to chat about it? DM me on socials or email; happy to share insights.
