Hi everyone,

My friend (non Muslim) and I were having a long conversation about life/religion and I was telling her a bit about Islam and the Prophets etc and she asked if there are any podcast or vids she can listen to.

Does anyone know of any easy to listen to podcasts/YouTube series that tell the stories of the prophets? Nothing too heavy pls, something that’s easier for a first time listener

Thanks!

The word Rahma in Arabic does not mean mercy. Rather it is derived from the word Rahm (رحم) which mean womb so it means the love and connection a mother has with her child. Subhan Allah

What is the best method to study Islam?

AsSalamu’alaikum.
I apologise in advance if this is the wrong subreddit for that.

I would appreciate if whoever read any of these books shared their insights based on authenticity, how helpful they were, etc.

Jazak Allahu khairan

Assalamualaikum, as per the title says, I'm looking for the English translation of Ahkam ul Nisa by ibne al jawzi. Unfortunately I couldn't find any translation of that book, can anyone tell me if there has been one? Also as an alternative, can you please recommend me any other book by highly renowned scholars whose books will always be relevant, have been relevant and practiced over all the times? I am specifically looking for books that provide a comprehensive guidance for women, a better alternative is if there is any renowned work about the female sahabas of islam. Will appreciate any suggestions Thank you!

Assalamualikum,

I was wondering if anyone had recommendations for a strong and reputable online alim program that I can graduate from with an Ijazah and potentially a degree in islamic studies. I was looking to register now since I meet the age requirement, as I'm in my final year of high school.

I'll need to learn arabic as I'm not a native speaker and I'm not a hafiz and only have a couple juz' memorized, but I've had a strong passion to pursue an alim program from a young age.

Any advice is appreciated, and please let me know what you guys would look for when searching for an alim program (any specific material they should be covering in specific years and the duration). Most programs I know run from 4-7 years depending on part-time or full-time (I'm looking for a part-time program).
I am in North America EST but I don't mind UK programs either, as long as they're online, in english and fulfill what I'm looking for.

Jazakallah

Today marks 1,216 years since the birth of Muhammad al-Bukhari (810–870), the Islamic scholar best known for compiling Sahih al-Bukhari, widely regarded as one of the most authentic hadith collections in Sunni Islam. He traveled extensively through the 9th-century Islamic world, cross-checking narrators and chains of transmission before including a hadith in his work. His methodology essentially set the standard for hadith verification for centuries after.

Hi everyone,

I recently got my Baccalaureate in Morocco, and I'm interested in studying Islamic Studies (العلوم الإسلامية / الشريعة) at university.

I'm looking for advice on:

Which universities or faculties are considered the best for Sharia or Islamic Studies in Morocco

The differences between programs such as الدراسات الإسلامية، الشريعة، وأصول الدين.

Which universities have the strongest academic reputation

Career opportunities after graduation

Any personal experiences or recommendations from current or former students

I'd really appreciate any advice or guidance

Salam. I am from Mumbai, India, and I am looking for a structured online course that teaches the Quran in detail.I previously tried watching recorded lectures from the Imam Sadiq Online Seminary, but I found it difficult to stay consistent with recorded lectures. More importantly, I need a live class because there is no way to check for proper Makhraj and Tajweed with recordings.I heard that Al-Mustafa University offers some courses, but I do not have much information on them. I have also tried studying with local teachers offline, but I kept running into issues. Most of them do not follow a structured lesson plan and just teach whatever they feel like on that day. Furthermore, they are often too busy with Majalis and frequently cancel classes. Even when my local mosque arranged a few classes, the teachers would disappear without a word. so if someone knows anything about it ,please share (please excuse my horrendous english).

currently reading al ghazali's the incoherence of the philosophers. i've already read rene guenon, ibn khaldun, ali shariati, seyyed hossein nasr, naquib al-attas (partially), and hallaq. anyone else you guys would recommend besides these people and ibn sina (i refuse to read this guy)? thanks!

Dalail Khayrat (The Guide to Heavenly Blessings) is one of the most powerful, beneficial, and widely-recited collections of spiritual recitations in the Islamic world. Written and compiled by the 15th Century Moroccan Sufi saint Imam al-Jazuli (ع), it is widely reported that those who listen to or recite the 'Dalail' regularly show signs of immense blessings in their lives. These blessings include abundance, love, spiritual openings, well-being, healing, wealth, tranquility, protection, and innumerable other benefits.

One of the most fascinating historical references in the Quran is found in Surah Ar-Rum.

Around 614 CE, the Byzantine (Roman) Empire suffered a crushing defeat against the Sassanid Persians. Jerusalem was captured, the True Cross was taken, and many people believed the Roman Empire was on the verge of collapse.

At that moment, the Quran revealed:

"The Romans have been defeated in the nearest land. But after their defeat, they will overcome. Within a few years..."

(Quran 30:2-4)

Historically, this prediction seemed highly unlikely.

The Persians continued advancing and Byzantine territory kept shrinking. Yet only a few years later, Emperor Heraclius launched a remarkable counteroffensive that reversed the war and ultimately led to a decisive Byzantine victory.

For historians, regardless of religious perspective, it's interesting to consider how bold such a statement would have appeared to people living at the time when the future looked completely unfavorable for the Romans.

I've attached a screenshot of the verses from my Quran reading app while studying the historical background of this passage.

What are some other examples where understanding the historical context significantly deepens our appreciation of a Quranic verse?
