The Journey
Overview
As-Subah Academy is a production Islamic learning platform that combines LMS, memberships, e-commerce, content publishing, and admin operations in one full-stack product.
It serves live and on-demand courses/diplomas, membership plans and user dashboards, shop (cart, checkout, orders, inventory), live-course applications with admin enrollment, articles, research papers, donations, and a full admin CMS.
React/Vite SPA + Express/MongoDB API — Firebase auth, Stripe and GoCardless payments, Cloudflare R2 media, queued email (Mailgun/SMTP via BullMQ + Redis), and optional Google Sheets sync for live applications. ~100+ frontend routes across public, user, and admin modules.
