Google for Students of Knowledge.

Google for Students of Knowledge (Taalibul Ilm)

Bismillah.

Google is no new term for anyone who passed a day online. According to Wikipedia, Google processes over one billion search requests every day. According to Merriam Webster Dictionary and the Oxford English Dictionary, the verb ‘Google’ is defined as "to use the Google search engine to obtain information on the Internet."

There is no doubt Google has acquired a special place in students’ life.  Among the students of Islamic Science Google has a special nick name too, “Shaikh Google”.

After extensive use of Google for my work, studies and personal use, now I am a sort of Google fanatic. Alhamdulillah. There is no doubt a single Goolge account can be used in variety of ways. I just want to share some of uses of your Google account as a Student of Knowledge (Taalibul Ilm), inshaAllah.

It is quite simple to make an account in Google. Just copy and paste this link http://goo.gl/UxPGW on you browser’s search bar press enter and then fill the form to create a new account in Goolge and your Goolge journey begins.

Unlike conventional methods of studying it is quite difficult to stay in touch with fellow student in online or distance mode of studying. In this article I want to mainly concentrate on the use of Goolge products for students of knowledge who are pursuing their studies online.
