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?

Any suggestions on what city,Country or area can have the best place to gain Islamic Knowledge?

I'm looking for how Muslim theologians / religious scholars reacted to the Mongol destruction of Baghdad in 1258. What theological explanations did they give for such a catastrophic event? Divine punishment for their sin? a sign of the End Times? and How did they interpret the fall of the Abbasid Caliphate from a religious perspective?

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. I Know this subreddit is primarily focused on Academic studies, but I hope this question falls within the broader defination of Islamic history, and the humanities. Thank You.

For anyone who has studied or is studying books like Namaz ki Momineen, Madni Qaida, or similar texts in a madrasa setting, how do you practice and test yourself before exams?

I personally use Claude to generate questions from the chapter text but that feels like a workaround. There is no dedicated platform where a student can select their book and chapter and take a structured test with difficulty levels and a score.

I am considering building something specifically for this. Before I invest time into it I want to understand how students currently prepare and whether a self-testing platform would actually be used.

Any honest thoughts from people who have been through madrasa education would really help.

Assalamualaikum everyone,

Have you remember in late 2025 forcefully disbanding of Tribal Muslim org. (All Arunachal Pradesh Tribal Muslim Youths’ Forum). And Wakf discussion in S.Court where Modi gov. Say no tribal indian have raised objection to this new amendment.

Now I wanted to know does any organisation Indian have specifically for Tribal Muslims to safe guard their interest and How much they have knowledge of real Islam because they are the one who suffers most between traditional and islamic teaching. And most of our scholars(locally accessible) label everything as haram because researching it is history is hard.

I also wanted to know the integration of Islam and their culture just like Khotons.

Well written article, thoroughly sourced:

Intro

Recently, I have encountered a wave of skepticism towards Islamic historical sources from various groups; Quranists, Christian apologists, and some secular academics. This skepticism ranges on a spectrum from having some reservations regarding the reliability of hadith literature at one end, to the extreme of doubting the very existence of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ at the other. I have decided to write a series of articles to tackle these issues.

The main focus of this first article will be on the ascription and transmission of Islamic texts. Are these works correctly ascribed to their purported authors, and can we be confident the texts we have today represents what they wrote? After dealing with this question, I will briefly touch on the absurdity of those who doubt the existence of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. I will not be discussing the reliability of hadith itself. So while I will be demonstrating that texts like Al-Muwatta are reliably transmitted and go back to their authors, I won’t be addressing whether or not the hadith found in the book go back to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. That is beyond the scope of this piece, but I will tackle this question in future articles. The content of this article should be uncontroversial even to mainstream non-Muslim scholarship.

Many Christians use verses from our holy scripture and use it to "prove Islam is false" and today I am looking at the Islamic dilemma and why it is just a dilemma in the kafirs brain.

Islamic Dilemma

The Islamic Dilemma is self-contradicting idea that the Quran affirms previous scriptures like the injeel and torah while also saying it corrupted. This lack of logic is used by David Wood and his followers, and it preach to our vulnerable to convert to their pagan religion. This "dilemma" is really a dilemma in their brains as there is much evidence from Quran that the injeel and torah mentioned in the Quran was the scriptures revealed to our beloved prophets Musa and Isa (Peace be upon them) as the verse they used for this surah Maidah 47 which states

"So let the people of the Gospel judge by what Allah has revealed in it. And those who do not judge by what Allah has revealed are ˹truly˺ the rebellious."

now looking at this verse, we can see that Allah had said "And those who do not judge by what Allah has revealed are ˹truly˺ the rebellious." clearly this contradicts Islam, right?

well, no ofc, this verse is talking about the gospel revealed to Isa (AS) because the verse before says

"Then in the footsteps of the prophets, We sent Jesus, son of Mary, confirming the Torah revealed before him. And We gave him the Gospel containing guidance and light and confirming what was revealed in the Torah—a guide and a lesson to the God-fearing."

Meaning that verse 47 is clearly talking about the scripture revealed to Isa (AS) not the Injeel we have today. but Christians will say that "Allah is affirming the torah and you believe torah is corrupted therefore Islam is false" but that is just lack of understanding. Allah stated in the same chapter verse 45

"We ordained for them in the Torah, “A life for a life, an eye for an eye, a nose for a nose, an ear for an ear, a tooth for a tooth—and for wounds equal retaliation.” But whoever waives it charitably, it will be atonement for them. And those who do not judge by what Allah has revealed are ˹truly˺ the wrongdoers."

Now what does this verse have to do with verse 46. Well, that's because “A life for a life, an eye for an eye, a nose for a nose, an ear for an ear, a tooth for a tooth—and for wounds equal retaliation.” are all things said in the torah that we as Muslims have in our sharia meaning Allah is affirming this message in the Torah rather than the whole Torah.

Now why does Allah says that who don't judge from what he revealed in those books would be wrongdoers. That's because Allah revealed the Torah and Injeel to the prophets and later on they got corrupted as people changed the verses (this is mentioned in the Quran) and so the verse is also talking about the initial books revealed to the prophets.

It can be explained very shortly, the Injeel and Torah used in these verses are not referring to the ones we have today, but the one revealed to Isa and Musa (AS).
