Sakinah

Account deletion

Leaving is one tap.

You can delete your Sakinah account and everything in it from inside the app, without asking us, without waiting on a reply, and without explaining yourself.

Delete it from the app

Open Sakinah, go to the You tab, and choose Delete account. You will be asked to confirm once. After that the deletion is immediate and permanent.

There is no waiting period, no cooling-off window, and no way for us to undo it for you. If you come back to Sakinah later, you will be starting a new account from scratch.

What is erased

Deleting your account erases:

  • Your profile and every answer in it
  • Your photo
  • Your identity document
  • Your messages
  • Your salams, sent and received
  • Your activity history

The one thing we cannot recall

Sakinah emails a copy of your wali-observed conversations to the wali on record. Once that email has been sent, it sits in that person's mailbox, on their mail provider, outside Sakinah entirely.

Deleting your account removes those messages from Sakinah. It cannot reach into someone else's inbox and take back mail they have already received. If that matters to you, ask them directly.

If you cannot get into your account

Locked out, lost the phone, or no longer have the email on the account? Write to sakinah.help@gmail.com and tell us enough to find the account: the email address you signed up with, or the name on the profile.

We will verify that the account is yours before we delete anything, because a deletion request is not something we can take on trust from a stranger.
