Video recommendations!
Ideally, the best way to seek authentic Islamic knowledge is to seek out a scholar & learn with them. But in this day & age it could deem difficult to find a local scholar especially authentic scholars.
So taking advantage of the digital age we live in, I have made a very brief playlist of essential videos which every Muslim should know. Especially when beginning their journey in Islam. I have also recommended extremely resourceful websites for slightly more advanced studies.
This is by all means not at all an exhaustive list. Far from it. This is a ‘beginners’ guide to the deen and some core concepts that would help in making out imaan solid.
Aside from the selected videos down below, I have also recommended a few YouTube channels that are highly motivating and provide very good imaan boost.
This video covers the design argument, problem of evil, Fitrah, Quranic argument & consciousness to prove that Allah SWT exists in an intellectual manner.
Albeit very briefly.
