All praise is due to Allaah, Lord of all creation, and may the Salaat and Salaam be upon the final Messenger - sent before the Hour as a mercy to the creation.

By the Grace of Allaah, this website was designed to educate the reader, not only of Islaam, but of the scholars of Islaam and the books they authored. You will find articles and references by the true scholars of Islaam; the scholars of Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaa'ah and their students, starting from the Salaf as Saaleh in the first three generations to this day of ours.

To make full use of the site, after reading an article, click on the author and get to know about him by at least reading his card. You can learn more of him by reading his biography. Scholars can also be sorted by the date they passed away in the scholars page to get a general idea of the time each of them lived, which of them came before the other, and who inherited the knowledge the Messenger left behind from who.

You can also read about the reference used for an article, you may find that it covers information that you have been looking for. By reading about references you may also be looking for certain information in the future and would know where to find it, which scholar wrote about it and in what book.

References can be downloaded in Arabic in two formats mainly; The first is used with a program called 'al Maktabah ash Shaamilah' that can be downloaded from their site here. They have amassed a huge number of books in a .bok format that can be used with this program. The advantage of "al Maktabah ash Shaamilah' is that the program is searchable, which makes it easy to access specific information quickly. A disadvantage is that there are some typing errors which may throw off your search - for one.

The second format are pdf files that can be downloaded from waqfeya.com. The advantage of such a file is that it is the exact copy of the book, so there is no room for typos or other related errors. The disadvantage would be that they are not searchable so searching for information could take some time, this is also an advantage as you would be increasing your knowledge as you search.

Audio references can be download for a program similar to 'al Maktabah ash Shaamilah' but for audio files instead of books, it is also searchable to some degree. It is called 'Maktabat Ahlul Hadeeth wal Athar' and can be found at their website here.

Other references are available as standalone programs or online books.

Again all praise and gratitude is due to Allaah alone; in beginning, in ending and in continuing. Allaah is the granter of success and may the Salaat and Salaam be upon the final Messenger.
