Dear Brothers and Sisters in ISLAM,

In what started as an audio tape library back in 1996 for the benefit of local mussalees in the area. We had a lot of response locally, but with todays technology it was difficult to stay in touch.  We have now concluded that it is time for us to share this with the Muslim Ummah through the internet, where they can gain the benefit with strengthening their Imaan from reading all about Islam and listening to the lectures by prominent Ulemas across the globe.

We assure all Muslim Ummah that every effort has been made to provide lectures in different fields and subjects that a person comes across in everyday life and is not sure what to do.

We are thankful to all who have contributed to this cause to allow us to reproduce their work free of any legal rights which will help their fellow Muslims...

We pray that those who have gained benefit from our site may Allah (SWT) bless our efforts and accept our Dua's. May Allah (SWT) make our task easy for us, have mercy on us, forgive us and grant us all the highest abode in 'JANNAH' - AMEEN

"In this day and age a vast amount of information is available at your fingertips on all sorts of topics, it is important that those seeking knowledge should do so with an open mind, preconceptions can sometimes make you miss the obvious and lose out on that which is beneficial. Approach this with honesty and amaze yourself at how logical it is for faith and reason to come together..."

What do you know?

Why is ISLAMIC knowledge so important? - We always hear people saying that knowing things is an essential part of our lives. The importance of knowledge ("ILLM") is given great emphasis in ISLAM.

Why? - The simple reason is this: that if we do not have knowledge, how are we supposed to practice the Sunnah of our Prophet (S.A.W.) and improve our Imaan (faith and beleif in ALLAH - PROPHETS - ANGELS etc...). We need knowledge so that we can follow the straight path in all aspects of our lives. For example there is a clear difference between someone who knows the appropriate Du'as for certain situations and someone who does not.

By invoking ALLAH's (SWT) name and assistance at all times, we bring ourselves closer to him and are collecting rewards at the same time. But if we do not have the necessary knowledge for certain situations we are missing out on invaluable reward.

The following Ayaat's from the Qur'aan regarding the Importance of knowledge:

"ALLAH will exalt in rank - those from among you who believe and those upon whom knowledge has been bestowed." - Surah 58 Al - Mujaadalah Ayah 11. 

"It is only his learned servants who fear ALLAH" - Surah 35 Faatir Ayah 28.   

The above Ayaat's of the Qur'aan are enough evidence to show that there is great value in knowledge. So now each of us must make the effort to improve our knowledge in any way possible. We make a habit not only of reading the Qur'an regularly but also of reading Islamic books and listening to the material available on the Internet in either cassette - Cd 's - mP3 or whatever  to improve our awareness of ALLAH (SWT) - and knowledge of the history of ISLAM.   

"ALLAH (SWT) makes the path to Paradise easy for him who treads the path in search of knowledge - And a believer is never satisfied with acquiring knowledge until he reaches Paradise."    

"MAY ALLAH (SWT) MAKE US ALL FIRM AND KNOWLEDGEABLE MUSLIMS... "  - Ameen.
