Mosques and institutes
Mosques and institutes that teach in public, with a note on each and where to find their classes. Nothing is played here: a channel opens on its own site, outside Sabīl.
Listed, not recommended
Sabīl lists these mosques and institutes; it does not recommend, rank or vouch for them, and no scholar of Sabīl’s has reviewed the list. What a place teaches is its own to answer for: if you do not know one, ask a scholar you trust. The notes are in English, taken from the sources named on each card as they stood on the day shown, and say nothing of what a place holds.
Each link opens the place’s own channel on YouTube, or its own site, in a tab of its own, outside Sabīl. Nothing of theirs is played or shown here, not even a picture; what YouTube shows there, advertisements included, is YouTube’s own.
