Dār as-Sayf wal-Qalam
Games, books, and tools for the Deen

دار السيف والقلم

Dār as-Sayf wal-Qalam
The Dār of the Sword and the Pen

As-Sayf wal-Qalam is built slowly and precisely, outside the studios, with every Shar'i information being carefully and accurately researched manually by devoted students of the Deen of Allah.

What the Dār makes

The game

As-Sayf wal-Qalam: Qurṭuba

The game series the Dār is named for. The first title is Qurṭuba, in al-Andalus.

The parchment atlas of al-Andalus at the hour of maghrib

The Hour of Maghrib over al-Andalus

An ultrarealistic grand strategy of The Islamic Caliphate.

al-Thughūr: a town on the frontier of Qurṭuba, drawn in counters

al-Thughūr

A smaller game, finished, and playable now. Hold the marches of Qurṭuba: build a town, dig ore, strike dirhams, pay and feed an army. A battle is shown to you only where your own banner stands. Everywhere else you are blind, until a man of yours sees them coming and the word reaches you.
