A walkthrough
How a pearl is made
We will walk through the parts of a MercyChain pearl, one at a time. About thirty seconds.
فَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ خَيْرًا يَرَهُۥ
“So whoever does an atom's weight of good will see it.”
The Words الكلمات
The words you chose to keep from today's reading. The pearl stores both the original Arabic and the English translation, along with the page number and a star rating tied to the value of the words.
الكلمات التي اخترتَ الاحتفاظ بها من قراءة اليوم. تحفظ اللؤلؤة النصَّ العربي الأصلي والترجمة الإنجليزية معًا، مع رقم الصفحة وتقييم النجوم المرتبط بقيمة الكلمات.
How you get a pearl كيف تحصل على لؤلؤة
- 01
You receive an invitation تَستلم دعوتك
MercyChain opens by invitation. Once it arrives, your Shell is yours.
تُفتح ميرسيتشين بالدعوة. حين تصلك، تصبح صدفتُك لك.
- 02
Ten phrases each day عشر عبارات كل يوم
Every morning, ten phrases arrive in R2E — drawn from the books you love and the books you are learning.
في كل صباح، تصلك عشرُ عبارات في R2E — من الكتب التي تحبها والكتب التي تتعلَّم منها.
- 03
You choose one تختار واحدة
The line that found you today. Just one. The rest will return another day.
العبارةُ التي وجدتك اليوم. واحدةٌ فقط. وستعود البقيةُ في يومٍ آخر.
- 04
It is kept in your Shell تُحفظ في صدفتك
Your chosen line becomes a pearl, saved in your Shell — yours to hold, or to give.
العبارةُ التي اخترتَها تصبح لؤلؤة، محفوظةً في صدفتك — لك أن تحتفظَ بها أو أن تُهديها.
One ritual. About two minutes. A pearl, every day. طقسٌ واحد. نحوُ دقيقتين. لؤلؤةٌ كل يوم.
The first ritual
R2E — Read to Extract — is the original daily ritual of MercyChain, and the only place a pearl is born. Each day, you sit with a page. A sacred page from a book you already love, and a knowledge page from a book you are learning. You read at your own pace; the page knows how long it should take.
One line, kept
When the page is read, you choose one line. The words that found you, today. Those words become a pearl: a small note carrying the line itself, the book it came from, the day it arrived, and a serial number that is yours alone.
The sacred and the learned
A pearl from a sacred page carries more weight; a pearl from a knowledge page carries less. Both are real. Both rest in your shell for thirty days before they can move — a quiet pause, so the words settle before they travel.
A pearl can be given
After the pause, a knowledge pearl can be passed on. To another shell, instantly. To someone not yet on MercyChain, by message — they receive a small invitation to claim the pearl you saved for them. A line you found becomes a line they keep.
Everything R2E answers, in one place.
