"Innovative way to learn Islam"
Online ways of seeking knowledge have become a norm these days which brought many new ways of learning Islam and among them is the Digital eBook library. The Digital library part will be later discussed in this article but first of all we need to see why it is so important for a Muslim to keep seeking knowledge all his life?
The intention of seeking Islamic knowledge is your first
step towards unlocking a whole new world that you have never experienced
before. Islam is a religion that was sent to enlighten the entire mankind so
they know what is better and more beneficial for them. That is why
Allah has made it mandatory upon every Muslim to seek knowledge.
Allah (SWT) says in the Qur’an:
“Read! In the name of your Lord (Cherisher and Sustainer)
Who created - created man from a clinging substance: Read! And your Lord is Most generous Who has taught
(the use of) pen. He has taught man that
which he knew not.” (Al-Qur’an 96:1-5)
Knowledge is thus the basis on which every human activity is
performed. Its importance is highlighted in many of the Hadiths of our beloved
Prophet Muhammad (Peace and Blessings Be Upon him). On one occasion it is
narrated that Prophet (PBUH) said:
“Whoever follows a path in the quest of knowledge, Allah
will make a path to Paradise easy for him.” (Narrated in Al-Bukhari)
On another occasion Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said:
When a man departs from this world, all his deeds come to
an end except for three;
- An on-going charity
- Beneficial Knowledge
- A righteous child who prays for him.
(The Hadith was narrated in Saheeh Muslim)
In this era of trials and tribulations, one has to find the
light that can guide to the right or straight path and that becomes only possible
if we are being given with the authentic knowledge about the teachings of Islam.
Whatever we have been told by Allah and his Messenger (PBUH)
through Qur’an and Sunnah is something that can never be taken for granted all
our lives. The very reason of our lives and reason of our existence must be
very clear and apparent to us, for that we need to consult every authentic
Islamic material made available to us. Whether it is in the form of Islamic
books or any other material in writing, we must find what is required.
Now let me put light on some latest developments in the
world of online Islamic digital products. I basically started as a young seeker
of knowledge and I used to read books online a lot. Though there are many
platforms where you can read out books but somehow they lacked the touch I was
looking for in online reading.
Few days ago a friend of mine referred me an amazing
library, though I was fond of reading Darussalam’s online books but this was
something new for me.
A leading Islamic publishing house by the name Darussalam Publishers developed a very innovative platform for the purpose of reading
online Islamic books. The product was named as “Darussalam Islamic eBook
library” meaning a library that can be accessed remotely from any part of the
world or can be taken with you anywhere or anyplace.
Having a very easy to use online platform and a Free eBook reader app for iOS and android, makes it a choice of every Muslim.
What else this amazing digital ebook library has?
- Option for downloads and offline reading.
- You can sign up for an account and avail a Free 15 day trial period which enables you to read as many Islamic ebooks as you can for free.
- A well designed online reader for reading books online.
- Nominal prices.
- Free sample reading as well.
- Access whole lot of book on several categories.
- Can be used on several digital devices e.g. smartphones, tablets etc.
Here are few of its snapshots of web online reading:
Now some of its snapshots of app:
Hundreds of books accessible from just one account of ebook library and at such low price; makes it really something to watch out for.
