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 media from different sources and organizes it by speaker, channel, and playlist, so students of knowledge and the wider public can reach beneficial content quickly.

  • The media belongs to its 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. You can browse the site without signing in. An account lets you save notes, bookmarks, notebooks, favorites, watch history, and preferences.

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 media item.

  • A transcript is a written version of a media item that lets you read along, search the text, and jump to a point in the audio or video. Transcripts are produced with automatic tools and may contain errors; verify important details against the original media. You can download transcripts as PDF documents, SubRip subtitle files (SRT), or plain text (TXT).

Study tools

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

  • Bookmarks let you save specific segments of a media item 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 media item where you can write a summary or key takeaways. Changes are saved automatically to your account. Check the save status before leaving the page, especially if your connection is interrupted.

Settings and support

  • Yes. Many media items 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.

  • Yamli lets you type Arabic words using English letters and converts them into Arabic, for example “salam” into “سلام”. To enable it, sign in and open Settings, select “Enable Yamli keyboard”, then click “Save preferences”. You can then use it in search and text fields.

  • Yes. When you sign in, Faqieh saves your playback position and watch history so you can return to media and continue where you left off.

  • 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 to provide the features you use and improve the service. We do not sell your data. You can delete your account and saved study activity from Settings. Support messages linked to your account are also deleted. The privacy policy explains retention of guest correspondence and backups.

  • Open Filters in search to choose speakers, channels, or playlists. Switch between the result tabs to browse media, transcripts, and other content. Use Download results to save a spreadsheet.

  • On desktop, start playing a media item, open Share, and select Start at the current time, then copy or share the link. On mobile, your device may open its own share sheet without the time option.

  • Yes. Use the install option when your browser offers it. On iPhone or iPad, open the browser’s Share menu and choose Add to Home Screen. Installation provides quick access; it does not download media for offline use.

  • Faqieh provides a read-only API for media, transcripts, speakers, channels, playlists, and search. Open API docs in the site’s footer for the reference and usage limits.
