In the past years, the learning process has adopted traditional ways of conveying information from tutor to students. These ways range from well-equipped classrooms supported with whiteboards and markers to a data projector that was then introduced to display educational slides. Students have to endure bad weather circumstances or traffic jam problems to spend the whole day at the school premises attending classes and meeting up with friends and colleagues.
Schools ‘ administration would not allow excessive student absences, the whole semester should be fully paid, the student cannot drop classes or withdraw from courses, and there are many pitfalls for the traditional learning field.
But nowadays, learning has become an easy step even across borders; you can learn any skill or language at your convenience.
The leap into the new technology of E-learning has totally changed the concept of learning. Both tutors and students feel at ease while learning, they overcome time and geographical constraints, people from different cultures and from different time settings meet online on a specific learning platform to share experience and get their peers’ reviews in a specific field.
Islam encouraged Distance learning
Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings upon him) was sent to all mankind and his message reached the globe, he was born in Mecca but Islam reached the Far East, Allah commanded Prophet Muhammad to Deliver Islam, as said in the Quran;
Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) spread Islam in Mecca and Madinah and in years his Dawah (calling to Allah) reached every plot on earth. After the companions drank deeply from the fountain of Prophet Muhammad’s knowledge, they were scattered in every place to deliver Islam message.
Prophet Muhammad sent Muaaz ibn Jabal to Yemen to teach people Islam and the Quran and to judge according to what is in the book of Allah and the teachings of Prophet Muhammad, he also sent a lot of messengers with letters defining Islam to lords and rulers of countries.
If Islam’s message was only kept within the borders of Mecca, it would not been reached to everyone. Although the lack of communication facilities at that time, it did not hinder the dissemination of Islam principles and teachings, The people of Yemen learned Islam & Quran from Muaaz ibn Jabal, he traveled miles for the sake of Allah, but now, we have every possible technology at hand, so why not go for online Quran learning?
All you need is an unlimited internet connection, a laptop or desktop supported with headphones a microphone, and an online learning platform.
