Direct access to the World Authentic Islamic Websites

Assalamu Alaykum Warahmatullah.

This Application provides easy direct access to about 50 most authentic Islamic websites.

The internet provides a sea of knowledge. With such vast information available at our fingertips, it can get difficult and confusing to filter out authentic Islamic websites from the rest.

Since a vast majority of Muslims and non Muslims turn to the World Wide Web to research and learn more about the various aspects of Islam, making sure people read things that are in accordance with the Quran and Sunnah rather than falling prey to deviant websites is of utmost importance.

With this issue in mind, a group of student researchers were directed to compile a list authentic Islamic websites on a rating scale of 1-10 with a review of each website, to help you understand better.

Criteria used in rating the sites:

-Authenticity of material and closeness to the Qur’aan, Sunnah & understanding of the Salaf us Saalih.

-Quality of the material in terms of language, referencing to the sources and in the case of Ahadeeth, referencing to books of Ahadeeth verification.

-Quantity of material put up on the site

-Presence of downloadable multimedia content (free downloads get a higher rating)

Audio content

Video content

Any other type like Flash presentations, PowerPoint etc

-Presence of streaming multimedia content (lower rating than downloadable multimedia)

-Presence of downloadable complete E books (free downloads get a higher rating)

-Presence of downloadable Islamic software (free downloads get a higher rating)

-Frequency of site updates

-If site has a general name like Islam.com or islamweb.com then it has been reviewed with the expectation that it would cover many aspects of Islam and would have a good quantity of varied content matter. The rating reflects the extent to which the site meets these expectations along with the aforementioned criteria.

-If the site has a name which specifies one or more aspects of Islam e.g. understandquran.com or a clearly stated aim then it has been reviewed to see how well the specified aspect/ aspects or stated aim are covered along with the aforementioned criteria and the absence of other topics is not reflected in the rating.

-Authenticity of material and sticking close to the Qur’aan, Sunnah & understanding of the Salaf us Saalih.

-Quality of the material in terms of language, referencing to the sources, and in case of Ahadeeth referencing to books of Ahadeeth verification.

-Quantity of material put up on the site.
