TV Channels

We believe that the benefits of technology for Islam are highly offered by Televisions in our society. TV channels play a major role in promoting Islam and Islamic information all over the globe. So many countries where Islam is not so common need such channels more. One of the most important things to ponder and recognize as a Muslim is that the job of Islamic education should not be limited to Islamic channels only. In fact, all other private and government channels in all Muslim countries should play their role. Islamic programs, game shows, plays, and talk shows are now produced and aired on entertainment and family channels as such channels attract more viewers than outright  Islamic channels.  As a comparison we have seen people of different religions educate their children in the form of animated videos and teach them the lessons.

Islamic Websites

There are plenty of Islamic websites where people can get a lot of information about Islam, all of its sects, rituals, norms, values, and beliefs. You can browse websites in multiple languages and understand things in a better way. Also, you can translate the already existing content into any language.
