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. 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 recording.
-
A transcript is a written version of a recording 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 recording. 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 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 recording 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.
