So You Want to Learn About Islam?

I hear so many people talking about how they want to learn more about Islam but don’t have access to scholars or can’t move in order to study. But, by virtue of having an internet connection, we all have access to a plethora of information to get a baseline understanding of the religion from some top scholars. So here are some links:

Qur’an Translation: Oxford Classics

Bayyinah TV:  The best place to learn basic Qur’anic Arabic. There’s something called Cover to Cover that Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan teaches, which is basically a tafseer (exegesis) of the whole Qur’an. It’s incredible. There are tons of free webinars and historical/youth centric lectures on here as well!

Qalam Now: Islamic education that is systematic with a curriculum, quizzes, etc. Taught by Ustadh AbdelRahman Murphy, Shaykh Abdul Nasir Jangda, and Mufti Hussain Kamani.

Qur’an Weekly: Get to know the Qur’an from your favorite scholars! 

HalalTube: Lectures from all your favorite scholars! This is a really incredible compilation, and there are lectures that you can filter based on scholar and/or subject. I recommend Abdul Nasir Jangda, Nouman Ali Khan, AbdelRahman Murphy, Hamza Yusuf, Jamal Badawi, Khalid Latif, Omar Suleiman, Suhaib Webb, Tariq Ramadan, Wisam Sharieff, Yasir Birjas, and Zaid Shakir

Seeker’s Hub: An incredibly practical source for your everyday Islam. Over 35 courses across all major disciplines, for beginner and advanced students.

Imam Omar Suleiman’s Facebook: Imam Omar doesn’t shy away from more “difficult” subjects like slavery in Islam, adoption, and politics. He’s incredible, and so are the videos and lectures he puts up on Facebook.

Shaykh Akram Nadwi’s Facebook: Awesome blog posts and videos! 

Books! I have a Reading List on my blog here of books that are good to read if you’re just getting started. If you need a place to start, Being Muslim: A Practical Guide by Asad Tarsin is really useful for basic and practical knowledge.

Harvard: Islam Through its Scriptures course (It’s free!)
