The Ghayb Browser

A journey through the unseen in the museum's records: jinn and angels, the soul, the measures of time, the Night Journey and the greatest creations, the barzakh and what follows death, and the major signs of the Hour — each record cited, each topic a door to its own page.

This build holds 85 records in 8 sections; texts are draft until a human reads them.

The browser's method

Every record here is an ordinary museum record — cited, trilingual — grouped by the tags ghayb-browser and ghayb-<section> inside the one graph, not in a side table. Editorial stance: revelation first; science only ever serves as analogy, never as an explanation of the unseen.

The whole dataset is at /api/v1/ghayb.json
