About this project
The Sermons project is part of Islamic Network — a network of free, open-source digital services for the Islamic world. Its goal is to make Friday khutbas and sermons from across the Islamic world freely and programmatically accessible to anyone: scholars, students, app developers and the general community.
What’s here
For each sermon, we publish:
- The full PDF, as released by the source, in every available language.
- The audio recording (MP3), where available.
- The Word document (DOCX), where available.
- A clean, static JSON API entry pointing to all of the above.
Today the collection includes khutbas from the General Authority of Islamic Affairs and Endowments (UAE), going back to 2015. We hope to add more sources over time.
Why
The original Awqaf website does not offer a programmatic way to access these khutbas and is sometimes unavailable. Making them accessible — in their original form, with attribution to the source — helps preserve them and makes it much easier for the wider Muslim community to benefit from them.
“Seest thou not how Allah coineth a similitude: A goodly saying, as a goodly tree, its root set firm, its branches reaching into heaven.” — Surah Ibrahim, Ayah 24 (14:24)
Adding a source
If you maintain a collection of khutbas and would like to add them to this
project — or use the existing API in your own work — please reach
out via the Islamic Network community or by
email at support@islamic.network.
