About

Overview

Muslim Central was founded by brother Nathmie Slamang from Cape Town, South Africa in 2012 and later joined by friend and co-director, Mufti Ismail Menk (Zimbabwe).

The organization was formally registered in 2016, NPO Registration No: 2016/256811/08 in South Africa.

We focus on online platforms and digital content to inspire and educate Muslims and those interested in Islam of all ages.

Our design approach is minimalist, keeping those from low-speed internet and data-expensive regions of the world, such as parts of Africa.

Part of the inspiration behind our organization, was this notion that giving a copy of a lecture to someone, would yield the same reward as the speaker, recitation the same reward as the reciter and so on. Alhumdullilah, today our flagship projects alone generate over 130 Million audio downloads per year that we can track accurately.

Our initiatives are generally without advertisements, except YouTube Channel as of 2021 as they stated they may show ads regardless without remuneration to those channels who are not officially allowing ads.

Seeds of Guidance is a e-learning platform for users to learn about the basics of Islam and general topics. This platform is free to use, with the focus on simplicity and use of use. 

The courses are at a easy going and self-paced. Tests are all multiple choice type questions, and in a non-written format. Where possible, lessons will be around 12 minutes each and text to be under 5 minute read-able. 

The target audience is from teenagers and older, especially existing Muslim Central users who are accustomed to listening to lectures. This is not to compete with existing platforms, but rather to take our listeners who enjoy using our platforms, one step up in terms of seeking knowledge but without having to commit to formal studies or courses.

We have over 500 series on Muslim Central, so many of these can be turned into short-courses in the form of the existing audio with some text and optional tests.

We are including certifications, points for completing quizzes and courses.
