FAQs

Short answers to common questions about using Faqieh, browsing its content, and getting the most out of its study tools.

About Faqieh

  • Faqieh is a platform that brings scholarly Islamic media together in one place and makes it easier to browse and study. It gathers lectures and recordings from different sources and organizes them by speaker, channel, and playlist, so students of knowledge and the wider public can reach beneficial content quickly.

  • The lectures and recordings belong to their original speakers and channels. Faqieh organizes this material and links back to its sources rather than claiming ownership of it. If you are a content owner and would like a correction, an attribution change, or a removal, please reach us through the contact page.

  • Faqieh is free to use, and you can browse all public content without signing in. An account is optional and simply lets you keep your own notes, bookmarks, notebooks, watch history, and preferences so you can return to them later.

Browsing and finding content

  • Content is arranged around speakers, channels, and playlists. Each speaker and channel page gathers their media, shorts, and playlists in one place, so you can move from a single lecture to a full series or an entire body of work.

  • Use the search bar to look across transcripts, media, speakers, playlists, and channels at once. Searching inside transcripts is especially useful for students of knowledge, since it can take you to the exact moment a word or topic is mentioned within a recording.

  • A transcript is a written version of a recording that lets you read along, search the text, and jump to any point in the audio or video. Transcripts are produced with the help of automatic tools, so occasional errors are possible; when precision matters, please rely on the original recording. You can download a transcript as SubRip (srt) or plain text (txt).

Study tools

  • The chat is a study aid that answers your questions using the transcript of the lecture you are viewing, helping you find a point, recall a quote, or get a quick summary. It is a tool to help you navigate the content, not a source of religious rulings, so please verify anything important against the original lecture and qualified scholars. Chat is available only on media that already have a transcript.

  • Notes let you write your own observations on specific segments of a transcript while you study, and revisit them later from your notes page. Taking notes requires a free account so your writing is saved to you.

  • Bookmarks let you save specific segments of a recording so you can return to an important passage without searching for it again. Your saved segments are gathered on your bookmarks page and require a free account.

  • The notebook is a space tied to each lecture where you can write a summary or the key benefits you drew from it, keeping your study reflections in one organized place. Like notes and bookmarks, it is saved to your account.

Settings and support

  • Yes. Many recordings are available as audio, and where a Faqieh Audio version exists you can choose to prefer it from your settings, which is convenient for listening while on the move.

  • The interface is available in Arabic and English, and you can switch between them at any time, while most of the content itself is in Arabic. For Arabic search and typing, you can enable the Yamli keyboard in your settings to write Arabic using Latin letters.

  • Additional study features such as a learning dashboard, certificates, and playlist subscriptions are planned and on the way. They are not fully available yet, and we will roll them out as they become ready.

  • Use the contact page to report a broken link, flag content that needs review, request a correction or addition, or share feedback. We read every message and act on it as soon as we can.

  • We use your account data, preferences, and activity only to operate the features you use and to improve the experience, and we do not sell user data. You can review the details on the privacy policy page, and you can delete your account and its data at any time from your settings.
