It takes free lectures that already exist on YouTube from trusted teachers and arranges them into complete, ordered courses in Aqeedah, Qur'an and Tafsir, Arabic, Seerah, Fiqh, Hadith, Islamic history and more — plus a 30-day beginner path, a timeline of Islamic history and a shelf of free books. Nothing is hosted, sold or paywalled, and no signup is required. Site: https://nawaraacademy.com/ · Language: English (with Arabic terms) · Cost: free, no signup, no account, no ads. ## What this site is Nawara Academy does not host, produce, sell or paywall any video. Every lesson is a free lecture that already exists publicly on YouTube from an established teacher or institution. What the site adds is structure: complete series are pulled out of scattered channels and playlists and put in the order they were meant to be watched, grouped by field of knowledge. Visitor progress is stored only in the visitor's own browser; there are no accounts and no personal data is collected. Library size: 85 structured courses, 2,200 video lessons (about 1075 hours), 42 standalone talks, 12 fields of knowledge, 27 free books, and an 30-day beginner path. ## Start here - [The Essentials of Islam](https://nawaraacademy.com/start-here): One month. 30–45 minutes a day. The foundations of the religion. A 30-day path through the absolute basics: what Islam is, what Muslims believe, how to purify and pray, and the life of the Prophet ﷺ — built from short lessons by Zad Academy, Safina Society, New Muslim Academy and others.

**The Prophet ﷺ in Madinah** (622 – 632 CE · 1 – 11 AH): The Hijrah marks year one: the first masjid, the constitution of Madinah, Badr, Uhud and the Trench, the treaty of Hudaybiyyah, the conquest of Makkah, and the Farewell Sermon. - **The Rashidun Caliphate** (632 – 661 CE · 11 – 40 AH): Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman and Ali (may Allah be pleased with them): the Riddah wars, the great expansions into Persia and Byzantium, the compilation of the Mushaf, and the first fitnah. - **The Umayyad Caliphate** (661 – 750 CE · 41 – 132 AH): From Mu'awiyah's consolidation to an empire from Spain to Sindh — Damascus as capital, the Dome of the Rock, and the crossing into al-Andalus. - **The Abbasids & the Golden Age** (750 – 1258 CE · 132 – 656 AH): Baghdad and the House of Wisdom: the age of Imam Abu Hanifah to Imam Ahmad, of al-Khwarizmi and Ibn Sina — five centuries of scholarship ending with the Mongol sack of Baghdad in 1258. - **Al-Andalus** (756 – 1492 CE): Muslim Spain: Cordoba's libraries and Alhambra's courtyards, eight centuries of knowledge and coexistence, and the slow fall to the Reconquista ending with Granada in 1492. - **The Crusades & the Ayyubids** (1095 – 1291 CE): Jerusalem falls to the First Crusade — and a generation is raised to answer: Nur ad-Din, then Salahuddin al-Ayyubi and the liberation of al-Quds in 1187. - **Ottomans, Mughals & the Spread of Islam** (1299 – 1924 CE): The gunpowder empires carry the banner: Constantinople opens in 1453, the Mughals build from Delhi to the Deccan, and Islam travels by trade to West Africa, the Swahili coast and the Malay world. - **After the Caliphate — the Modern Ummah** (1924 CE – today): The Ottoman caliphate is abolished in 1924. Colonisation, independence, and a global Ummah of nearly two billion finding its footing — with al-Aqsa at the centre of its story. ## Books ### Qur'an & Tadabbur - [The Qur'an — Saheeh International Translation](https://www.kalamullah.com/Books/Quran%20-%20Saheeh%20International%20Translation%20.pdf): free, hosted by Kalamullah. - [Tadabbur — Reflecting on the Qur'an](https://nawaraacademy.com/books/tadabbur): free, hosted by Life With Allah. ### Adhkar & Du'a - [Daily Adhkar](https://nawaraacademy.com/books/daily-adhkar): free, hosted by Life With Allah. - [Morning & Evening Adhkar](https://nawaraacademy.com/books/morning-evening): free, hosted by Life With Allah. - [I Am Near](https://nawaraacademy.com/books/i-am-near): free, hosted by Life With Allah. - [Adhkar After Salah (English)](https://nawaraacademy.com/books/adhkar-after-salah): free, hosted by Life With Allah. - [Ruqyah](https://nawaraacademy.com/books/ruqyah): free, hosted by Life With Allah. - [My Dhikr Companion](https://nawaraacademy.com/books/dhikr-companion): free, hosted by Life With Allah. - [My Du'a Companion](https://nawaraacademy.com/books/dua-companion): free, hosted by Life With Allah. ### Salah - [Taste the Sweetness of Salah](https://nawaraacademy.com/books/sweetness-salah): free, hosted by Life With Allah. - [Enjoy Your Salah](https://nawaraacademy.com/books/enjoy-salah): free, hosted by Life With Allah. - [The Adhkar of Salah](https://nawaraacademy.com/books/adhkar-salah): free, hosted by Life With Allah. - [Tahajjud — The Worldly Paradise](https://nawaraacademy.com/books/tahajjud): free, hosted by Life With Allah. - [My Prayer — Step-by-step Prayer Guide](https://nawaraacademy.com/books/my-prayer): free, hosted by Guidance Hub. ### Ramadan, Hajj & the Seasons - [My Ramadan Companion](https://nawaraacademy.com/books/ramadan-companion): free, hosted by Life With Allah. - [Journey to Allah in Ramadan](https://nawaraacademy.com/books/journey-ramadan): free, hosted by Life With Allah. - [30 Ramadan Reminders](https://nawaraacademy.com/books/ramadan-reminders): free, hosted by Life With Allah. - [Post-Ramadan: The Journey Continues](https://nawaraacademy.com/books/post-ramadan): free, hosted by Life With Allah. - [My 'Umrah Companion](https://nawaraacademy.com/books/umrah-companion): free, hosted by Life With Allah. - [My Hajj Companion](https://nawaraacademy.com/books/hajj-companion): free, hosted by Life With Allah. - [The Prophet's ﷺ Hajj](https://nawaraacademy.com/books/prophets-hajj): free, hosted by Life With Allah. - [The Best Days of Your Life — Dhul Hijjah](https://nawaraacademy.com/books/best-days): free, hosted by Life With Allah. ### The Prophet ﷺ - [Interactions of the Greatest Leader (Kayfa 'Amalahum)](https://www.kalamullah.com/Books/Kayfa-amalahoum-en-muslim.pdf): free, hosted by Kalamullah. - [The Final Prophet — Proofs of Prophethood](https://yaqeeninstitute.org/read/books/proofs-of-prophethood): free, hosted by Yaqeen Institute. ### Iman & the Heart - [The Good Life: The Sweetness of Iman & Worship](https://nawaraacademy.com/books/good-life): free, hosted by Life With Allah. - [The Answered Supplication — Sh. al-Sha'rawi](https://nawaraacademy.com/books/answered-supplication): free, hosted by IslamBasics. - [Jesus in the Qur'an](https://nawaraacademy.com/books/jesus-quran): free, hosted by Osoul. ## Frequently asked 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? 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. ### 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. ## Attribution All videos remain the property of their original YouTube channels and all books remain the property of their publishers; Nawara Academy only organises and links to them.
