In Islam there are many streams of thought in many different subject areas. Furthermore, Muslim scholars are not uniform in their understanding of Islam and in interpretations of its texts. So, it is not uncommon to find disagreement on certain topics or even on the status of scholarship of individuals. There is a “line” to be drawn which denotes what can be considered Islamic and what must be deemed to be outside Islam – otherwise there would be no such thing as Islam. While that line might often be blurred today and be a subject of debate in and of itself, we’re confident that none of the content selected for Alim.org would consider to be outside of Islam by most Muslims.
Moreover, removing any author or work from the site doesn’t remove it from existence – Muslims still have access to it and will continue to read it through other mediums. However, this site, along with its commenting functionality, allows individuals to demonstrate to others what’s wrong (in their opinion) with any content as well as promote any content they view as right. Through this, we hope that Alim.org can serve as a vehicle for dialogue between different streams of thought which will help us recognize our differences and accept them within the limits allowed by Islam.
Go to the “Advisers and Scholars Page” and click on the link “Click to Submit Advisers and Scholars” and fill up “submit advisers and scholars” form and send to the admin. Admin verifies the details and nominates you as a scholar if you are qualified to act in that capacity.
No, not for CD. The CD-ROM was discontinued several years back in favor of online services. Also, due to limited resources Alim Foundation has no intent to support Arabic Playhouse CD-ROM version, unless funded specially by our users.
The CD-ROM version (Alim for Windows) was discontinued since 2010, and the Alim Foundation (Alim) is only investing in the Alim.org website and its mobile applications for Android and iPhone. Any updates in terms of content and functionality will be carried out on the Alim website and on mobile applications insha Allah. The company “ISL Software” (also known as “ISL”) which was running at www.islsoftware.com was also officially shut down but that site’s domain was taken over by a domain parking company not affiliated with Alim, Islam, or Muslims. Any websites currently operating with this name are not associated with the Alim Foundation.
Alim.org is a project of the Alim Foundation which is a non-profit organization located in the USA. The site is free to use and while there are many unpaid volunteers involved with the project, the expenses borne to create the technology behind it are paid out of pocket by members of the foundation, friends and family, and users such as you. So, if you benefit from Alim.org or can appreciate that others do, why not consider donating? It would be a means of securing for yourself Sadaqah Jariya as told to us by the Prophet (s):
When a person dies, his works end, except for three: ongoing charity, knowledge that is benefited from, and a righteous child who prays for him” [ Sahih Muslim Hadith - 766]
