Halal TubeHalal Tube needs your help to transcribe lectures!
Bismillah
Alhamdulillah! InshaAllah you are feeling awesome as you read this. HalalTube received a great idea from one of our users who suggested Halal Tube transcribe lectures. So we are acting upon this idea right away upon reading this suggestion.
We have added a form here. Use that form to submit lecture transcripts.
Upon verification of text and name we will add it to the lecture’s page with credits given to the transciber. We will add whatever public name you give us. It can be your real name, a nick name or an anonymous name.
JazakAllah khiar!
May Allah bless you for reading this and using Halal Tube!

As-salaamu alaykum,
I love this idea. Is there was any way you could tell us if a transcript has already been submitted (but not yet reviewed) for a lecture, so that we make sure not to repeat what others have already transcribed? If not, no harm done; there are plenty of lectures so maybe it would be a very small chance of repetition anyway. Thanks!
Excellent idea. We will add notes next to lectures where someone has said they will be working on the transcript.
as-salamu ‘alaykum! I also have an idea for muslim who are not english speaking but know the language quite well… putting subtitles to video is a very hard work, especially when you have to fix timelines for every sentence. But once you did it, there’s no need to do it again in another language, if we keep in contact we can use the same original file, mantain the timelines and translate only the sentences so that we can easily get videos subbed in many languages.
If some of you is intersted I subbed some english video lectures in italian and if you contact me on my youtube channel (itabilal) I can send you .txt or .srt files inshallah to translate in any other language.
Imagine to build a translation network… wow… that’s exactly what Qur’an and Sunnah teach, be unite in the name of Allah.
Assalamualaikum
Good Idea Brothers and sisters.
I have a suggestion here.
Brother Nouman has once mentioned a scholar named Dr. Fadhil al-Samarrai in one of his lectures titled ‘Words of advice for Arabic student’.
Eventually I found that there is a large no. of video lectures of that scholar in Youtube as well as in a site: http://www.islamiyyat.com/
The lectures are mainly regarding Linguistic analysis of Qur’an.
But the problem is that the lectures are in Arabic.
If that lectures are provided with English Subtitles then it will be of great use for the Muslims all round the world.
I humbly request you to do necessary steps
Jazzakallah Khair
Assalamualaikum
i kindly request ‘Halaltube’ brothers to take necessary actions inorder to make available the lectures of Dr. Fadhil al-Samarrai in English. it is highly beneficial as brother Nouman has mentioned.
Jazzakallah Khair
Alhamdulillah , I have been waiting for this moment to be to able to share this site with my brothers and sisters from Indoesia, but language is always the barrier here. I can help you with Indoesian translation if needed.
Assalaamu alaikum,
I have experience in both writing and editing. You can send me the transcribed articles to edit and format in a presentable way. My email is [removed – we have your email when you make a comment].
Assalamoalaikum. How may i know which lectures have already been transcribed?
Salaams:
Transcripting is a laborious work.A program like Dragon Naturally Speaking or (or any similar free programs) may be very helpful. Of course in speeches, Arabic words will be used, and for this one will have to do that manually.
Meer Sahib P.Eng.
Just use Dragon Software and transcribe automatically HalalTube. You folks are generating enough ad revenue to afford it.
There is no post on the progress of transcriptions of the lectures yet, neither is there any indication that anyone is working on a particular lecture. please update.
Assalam Alaikum, Dr Omar Abdel Kafi’s lectures are a gem and need to be Transcripted.
Salaams pls help us all Mon Arabs with the translation of Dr.Fadel saleh Al Samarrai , Dr. Rateb Al Nabulsi ,Tariq Al Suwaidan as they all have done a great job and as also Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan refers to their work in great detail so even we want to understand it .please help.is all and May Allah help u all.Ameen.
Can I volunteer now?
