it is a lot of information. a thorough perusal is necessary for understanding how many topics are covered.
i recommend distributing these links together:

>The reason for ignorance today is not the absence of information, as that is ever-available in books, screens and the internet.
>Rather it is the absence of knowledge & understandings built on or extracted from rigorous scholarly foundations and methodology.
>So whoever attempts to treat the ignorance of people today with simple information may actually be having little effect, or actually causing more problems than solving them.
>The goal should be to improve understanding, so that people can make sense of information already available.
please keep in mind that this large amount of information is not intended to 'convert' anyone, but is intended for those with sincere inquiries & those seeking these resources. know that Allah comes in between a person and his heart.
in some cases an overwhelming amount of information may be a counter-productive invitation; do not invite to Islam by simply giving someone these resources when you can do more for them & not overburden them.
i am happy to hear suggestions and have added much to this list over time, but do not know of anything missing/broken.
i've taken most every resource i could find for learning the basics & essentials of Islam, and adapted previous resources ( such as here: >>41617 )
this includes numerous articles, videos, and books. all of the 5 links in this post are in the 1st link.
there is the short URL too, http://bit[.]ly/islampill
thank you for your help, and i hope this is of help to someone.
may God guide us to the truth, and return to the truth those who are not upon it, but believe that they are.
