A curated list of Islamic Resources for beginners and advanced learners!
Over the past month, I have tried to compile a list of links for those seeking knowledge. This is my attempt at adding structure and categorising these links.
Some of these links can fit in more than one category. To find what you're looking for please use Ctrl + F
(or Cmd + F
on macOS).
The links provided on this site are for informational purposes only. They are a collection of links to various religious texts and other materials created by other individuals. The descriptions provided next to these links are intended to provide context and guidance for readers, but they are not intended to be a substitute for reading the linked materials themselves. The descriptions may have been copied from other sources, and are provided here for convenience only. The owner of this site does not claim ownership of any of the linked materials or descriptions, and is not responsible for their content. The owner of this site cannot guarantee the accuracy or completeness of the information provided through these links.
