Ramadan is usually a month of learning more about the religion and of increasing your knowledge about Islam and the Qur'an and so on. So I thought, why not make a thread, that would be active during the month of Ramadan, to cover many topics about Islam. Think of it as a crash course in Islam.
I will try to make daily posts in this thread, depending on audience participation (hint, hint, that's YOU!) because I don't want to just double post all over the thread. I will be mostly posting videos, but also sometimes articles. And I'd love to have discussions about them, so please share with us your thoughts about the stuff that gets posted in here.
I will try not to post very long videos, because I know in the end no one really watches those, but there will be exceptions! So depending on your feedback, we'll see what direction this thread will take.
I wasn't sure how to start this but since this is Ramadan, and the Qur'an was revealed in that month after all, I thought about sharing some very short verses of the Qur'an with you, especially since a lot of people don't know that the Qur'an rhymes (it also uses prose) in lots of places. I happen to think it's beautiful to listen to it being recited, but I am biased! (All videos are 1-2 minutes long)
Al Fatiha (first Surah of the Qur'an, turn on Annotations for translation, it's not perfect though you will get the message)
Al Ma'oon (meaning the acts of kindness)
