Almost 25 years ago, Islamweb.net affiliated with the Ministry of Endowments and Islamic Affairs emerged as the first Arab portal to introduce Islam, its heritage, culture and civilization at the global level.
Launched in 1998, the pioneering website was confined to the fatwa in an attempt to create a religious window for Muslims around the world on the internet to spread the correct Islamic faith and sharia, clarify the correct image of Islam and Muslims, care for all Muslim issues, and explain Islam correctly to non-Muslims.
The Ministry of Endowments and Islamic Affairs, with the support of the General Directorate of Endowments, was keen to develop the website’s form and content to maintain its global position as one of the Islamic websites and to continue its leadership in providing meaningful Islamic content according to standards that respond to developments in the world of digital technology.
Over 25 years, Islamweb.net has developed into a comprehensive Islamic portal which taught millions of people about Islam and Islamic culture. It included sections of the Noble Qur’an and medical, social, educational, youth and psychological consultations, audios and articles.
The website’s content was also introduced in six live languages spoken by most of the world’s population – Arabic, English, French, Spanish, German, and Indonesian.
The consultations section currently includes about 200,000 medical, psychological, social and other consultations, while the fatwa section recorded nearly 300,000 different fatwas, in addition to various cultural articles that exceeded 70,000 articles.
The audio section includes more than half a million audio files, distributed over Quranic recordings, lectures, lessons, explanations, religious chants, educational materials, Friday sermons and audiobooks.
The website includes more than 8 million pages that achieved more than two billion views. (MORE)
