Online Islamic Study, what it means and how to approach it

The moment you hear this sentence, online Islamic study, you would not believe how the world has rapidly changed paving the way for the science of all types and aspects to spread, including Islamic studies. Islamic studies are one of the fundamentals a Muslim could learn every time to enlighten his/her life. The ample knowledge that such studies contain is countless.

عندما نري جمله “ادرس العلوم الإسلامية اون لاين” نري ان الزمن قد تغير كثيرا، ميسرا على جميع المسلمين ان يتقربوا أكثر لله وان يتعرفوا على دينهم بتعمق كبير. نظرا لما تتضمنه العلوم الإسلامية من افاق واسعه وعلوم عريقة مهمه وملمة للدين الاسلامي فيجب على كل المسلم ان يدرك ويتدبر هذه العلوم.

A Muslim may see learning the Islamic studies online as just some sort of fine, superficial learning for the basics only and may not be enough to learn everything in detail, in other words, Muslims may see that the Online approach for learning such studies is just not efficient enough for learning the holy Islamic studies with all of its deep, fruitful and splendiferous explanations.

تظن أيها المسلم ان أليه تعلم العلوم القرآنيه اون لاين هي فقط طريقه مؤقته او بسيطه لتعلم العلوم القرآنيه و لكنها ليست بجديه مثل الحضور وجها لوجه فى المسجد و تبعا لحلقات تدرس هذه العلوم

ولكن تكتشف لاحقا أنه أتاح لألاف بل لملايين من المسلمين تعلم العلوم الشرعية في جميع أنحاء العالم وأصبحت لا تقتصر فقط على أماكن وأوقات معينه بل أعطت، أليه الاون لاين، فرصه للجميع لينعموا بهذا العلم.

Surprisingly enough, online Islamic studies have just the exact same merits and even more advantages than attending live with a tutor face to face, with the same efficiency, applicability, and more importantly, depth of apprehension.

What is online Islamic study?

As we have delved enough into the pros that the Online approach has introduced, it is time to know exactly what we are going to learn specifically. Islamic studies are any study that can lend a helping hand to the Muslim to learn and understand more about his religion. They are:

  • Fiqh – الفقه
  • The fundamentals of Fiqh اصول الفقه –
  • Nahw النحو –
  • Tafsir التفسير –
  • Fundamentals of Tafsir – أصول التفسير
  • Hadith الحديث –
  • Language اللغة –
  • Tajweed تجويد –
  • Aqidaa – عقيده

Why do you need to learn Islamic studies in the first place?

If you travel to a new country, you simply need to learn everything about it, starting from the basic language the people of this specific country use, to traditions, the history, how to treat them, what to do and what to avoid, it is basically anything you need to know to be acquainted with such country. Exactly these same rules imply to our religion, Allah has created us and ordered us to live in this Dunya. In order to live in this Dunya, we need to know why we live in the first place, what is our language which Allah has conveyed his glory words to us. What else to be learned is the characteristics of the righteous Muslim. Just like the Islam is our guide to heaven, Islamic studies are our path to follow for such a goal. Allah has clarified in his Holy Quran the main reason behind creating us as humans and this whole world which is to worship him. In Soret: Al Thariat: And I (Allah) created not the jinns and humans except they should worship Me (Alone).

لقد خلق الله الانسان بل، كل ما في الارض ليعبدوه ويسبحوه وينزهوه. فتري ان الله خلق الانس والجن والانعام والحيوانات والاشجار والجبال لعبادته سبحانه وتعالي. اما الانسان فجعله مميزا عن سائر الخلق بإعطائه الحرية، ألا وهي حريه اختيار عبادته. فإذا نظرنا الي الدابة او الجبال او السحاب فنري أنه لا عقل لهم ليتدبرو نعم الخالق، وعظمه خلقه ودقه وتفاصيل خلقه فكل هذا يمكننا ان نراه بفضل العقل الذي وهبنا الله إياه لنعقل. وذكر الله سبحانه وتعالي ان تدبر القرآن من صفات المؤمنين الذي أنعم الله علينا بها مثلما اوضح في سوره النساء:” أَفَلَا يَتَدَبَّرُونَ الْقُرْآنَ ۚ وَلَوْ كَانَ مِنْ عِنْدِ غَيْرِ اللَّهِ لَوَجَدُوا فِيهِ اخْتِلَافًا كَثِيرًا “

أوضح الله سبحانه وتعالي سبب خلق هذه الدنيا بما فيها من أنس وجن ومخلوقات أخري في أياته ” وما خلقت الجن والانس الا ليعبدون” في سوره الذاريات.

العلوم الإسلامية نري أن مصدرها مبهم او غامض للبعض ولكنها في النهاية علوم أتاحها الله لنا سبحانه وتعالي عندما أنعم علينا بنعمه العقل وأوضح لنا رسول الله صلي الله عليه وسلم المنهج الذي نسير عليه من بعده ألا وهو كتاب الله وسنه رسول الله: ” تركتُ فيكم أمرين لن تضلُّوا بعدهما: كتابَ الله جلَّ وعزَّ، وسُنَّةَ نبيِّه صلَّى الله عليه وسلَّمَ “

إذا الانسان أدرك وفهم سبب خلقه في هذه الدنيا وأنها دار اختبار وابتلاء فحسب، بل أيضا مرحله عابره وطريق نسير فيه بكل حالتنا الي الله لكي ننعم بالجنة. مثلما قال الامام الشافعي رحمه الله: ” إن كنت في الطريق إلى الله فأركض.. وإن صٌعب عليك فهرول.. وإن تعبت فأمشى.. وإن لم تستطع كل هذا فسر ولو حبوا.. ولكن إياك والرجوع “
