Ramadan: What are some nice Islamic videos, lectures, or articles you've come across?

Wa ^Alaykumus Salaam,

Yes. I have so many, I don't know where to start...

If you know Arabic, or have parents who do, have them watch Shaykh Jameel's Lessons. He's a very rare type of person, may Allaah protect him. Here's PART 1/4 and you'll find the rest on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1bd7TDvlns&playnex...

This is another dear Shaykh, may Allaah protect him. I love his khutbas and lectures (very beneficial, watch them all if you can): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vk2CO-jMtas

If you haven't heard of Shaykh Ninowy, your gonna really like him In Shaa' Allaah: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GJ-Og56R2w

This is a Rap about the Perfect Attributes of Allaah, SubHaanahu Wa Ta^aalaa: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Fw5dj9n39Y&feature...

But I will tell you that you should find a trustworthy teacher to acquire knowledge from because people on yahoo answers can give you wrong judgments. If there aren't any where you live then one should travel and seek the knowledge. Please don't trust people that easily, their are so many ignorant people nowadays. May Allaah protect you. Everything I gave comes from trusted sources.

Use this site, as its trusted and better than using yahoo answers (you can get articles, nasheeds/madih, and videos, there's also a Muslim Radio 24/7: http://www.alsunna.org/

I'll list a few great articles in the sources:

This one has the translation to Juzz' ^Amma in English and its a trusted site so its free from blasphemy translations Al-Hamdulillaah. This is why one cannot seek knowledge online. One needs an Upright teacher to acquire from:

The Civilised Family System

By Sayyid Qutb

If the family is the basis of the society, and the basis of the family is the division of labour between husband and wife, and the upbringing of children is the most important function of the family, then such a society is indeed civilised. In the Islamic system of life, this kind of a family provides the environment under which human values and morals develop and grow in the new generation; these values and morals cannot exist apart from the family unit. If, on the other hand, free sexual relationship and illegitimate children become the basis of a society, and if the relationship between man and woman is based on lust, passion and impulse, and the division of work is not based on family responsibility and natural gifts; if the role of women is merely to be attractive, sexy and flirtatious, and if women are freed from their basic responsibility of bringing up children; and if, on her own or under social demand, she prefers to become a hostess or a stewardess in a hotel or ship or air company, thus using her ability for material productivity rather than the training of human beings, because material production is considered to be more important, more valuable and more honourable than the development of human character, then such a civilisation is 'backward' from the human point of view, or 'jahili' in Islamic terminology.

The family system and the relationship between the sexes determine the whole character of a society and whether it is backward or civilised, jahili or Islamic. Those societies which give ascendance to physical desires and animalistic morals cannot be considered civilised, no matter how much progress they may make in industry or science. This is the only measure, which does not err in guarding true human progress.

In all modern jahili societies, the meaning of 'morality' is limited to such an extent that all those aspects, which distinguish man from animal, are considered beyond its sphere. In these societies, illegitimate sexual relationships even homosexuality, are not considered immoral. The meaning of ethics is limited to economic affairs or sometimes to political affairs, which fall into the category of 'government interests'.

Among jahili societies, writers and journalists advise both married and unmarried people that free sexual relationships are not immoral. However, it is immoral if a boy uses his partner, or a girl uses her partner, for sex, while feeling no love in his or her heart. It is bad if a wife continues to guard her chastity while her love for her husband has vanished; it is admirable if she finds another lover...
