The Five Pillars of Islam
Authentic Islamic knowledge, made accessible
Hidaya is an Islamic knowledge platform built to make the Quran and the Sunnah easy to study every day — whether you are a new Muslim taking your first steps, a student of knowledge revising tafsir, or a parent teaching your children at home. Everything on the site is grounded in authentic, cited sources.
The Quran Library carries the full Uthmani Arabic text with Tajweed colours, transliteration, multiple English translations, and classical tafsir from Ibn Kathir, Jalalayn, and Ma'ariful Quran. The Hadith Library gives you the six major collections — Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Abu Dawud, at-Tirmidhi, an-Nasa'i, and Ibn Majah — with reference numbers and authentication grades so every narration can be checked.
Alongside reading, Hidaya provides accurate prayer times and a Qibla compass for your location, a Hijri calendar with Ramadan and Eid countdowns, a Ramadan planner, a Hifz memorisation tracker, Islamic quizzes, downloadable Quran PDFs, short audio reminders, and live classes with Sheikh Ahmed Shariff Abdinur. The platform serves the Muslim community in South Africa and around the world.
