Authentic Knowledge from Authentic Sources - Through our panel-discussions, the Isnad Academy seeks to bring the views of experts on important, current-affairs to the attention of our listeners. In the &#39;Information-Age&#39;, access to information has never been easier, but access to misinformation is equally easy. In Islam, the &#39;isnad&#39; or chain of transmission is the mechanism by which authentic knowledge could be sifted from inauthentic material. This system is what allowed Islam to maintain a high level of preservation, even centuries later. The Isnad Academy seeks to bring the classical orthodox teachings of Islam to a contemporary audience and context.
