بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
Structured Islamic knowledge, free and in one place.
Follow complete video courses in Aqeedah, Tafsir, Arabic, Seerah, Fiqh and more — curated from trusted teachers and organised so you always know what comes next.
Everything here is already free. Nawara Academy doesn't host or sell anything — it takes free lectures already sitting on YouTube from trusted teachers and arranges them into complete, ordered curricula, so instead of a scattered playlist you get a real course with a beginning, an order, and an end. No cost, no signup — just knowledge, organised.
Take the academy with you
Every course, the 30-day path and the whole library, in an app built for the phone — with your progress carried over as you go. Open it in your browser and add it to your home screen: it behaves like an installed app, and there's nothing to download.

A child's first four years, one stage at a time
A parenting guide built around the five stages a child passes through before school: newborn, 4 to 6 months, 7 to 12 months, 1 to 2 years and 2 to 4 years. Each stage has its own feeding, sleep, health and safety pages, alongside the sunnahs of welcoming a newborn — so you can find what you need at 3am.
The small things in the Qur'an worth stopping at
Short reflections on the details that are easy to read past — two words that translate the same but mean different things, a number hidden in a word count, a whole way of leading people folded into one verse. Each one reads in a minute and points back to the verse it came from, and fifty-three surahs are drawn out verse by verse as mind maps.
Your first steps in Islam, whichever route you're on
Two paths through the basics. If you are still looking into Islam, it works through the questions people usually ask, in the order they usually ask them. If you have just become Muslim, it starts with wudu and salah and builds from there. Both roads meet at the shahada, and nothing on the page assumes you already know anything.
Common questions
Is Nawara Academy free?
Yes. Everything on Nawara Academy is completely free and there is no signup, account or paywall. Every lesson is a free lecture that already exists publicly on YouTube; the site only organises those lectures into ordered courses.
Who teaches the courses?
The lessons come from established teachers and institutions publishing on YouTube — among them Zad Academy (English), Safina Society, Bayyinah, the Deen Institute, Yaqeen Institute and other well-known channels. Nawara Academy does not teach or produce the videos; it curates and sequences them, and every video remains the property of its original channel.
Where should a beginner or a new Muslim start?
Start with The Essentials of Islam, a 30-day path of 30 to 45 minutes a day that covers what Islam is, what Muslims believe, how to purify oneself and pray, and the life of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). It is built from short lessons and needs no prior knowledge.
What subjects can I study on Nawara Academy?
Aqeedah and foundations of belief, Qur'an and Tafsir, Arabic and Qur'an reading, the Seerah of the Prophet (peace be upon him), Islamic history, Fiqh and worship, Hadith sciences, character and family, Dawah and comparative religion, the Hereafter, Islamic finance, and general reminders.
Does Nawara Academy follow a particular madhhab or school of thought?
No single school is imposed. The library gathers courses from mainstream Sunni teachers across different institutions, and fiqh courses state the school or the position they teach from so students know what they are studying.
Is my progress saved, and do you collect my data?
On this website, your course progress is stored privately in your own browser using local storage — there is no account, no login and no personal data collected by the site. The Nawara Academy app works differently: by default it backs your progress up to our server under a random code, so it can be restored on another device. That backup holds only the code and which lessons you have watched, never a name or email, and you can switch it off or delete it inside the app.
Can I read Islamic books on the site too?
Yes. The Books section links to free Islamic books on the Qur'an, adhkar and du'a, salah, Ramadan and Hajj, the Prophet (peace be upon him) and matters of the heart. Many can be read directly in the browser; all remain hosted by and belong to their publishers.
