What are Digital Downloads?
they are media files protected in a fashion similar to iTunes that require unlocking to gain a legal digital copy of the CD version of music albums or lecture series. Unlocking the files requires the purchase of credits

How does it work?
When you play a lecture or song, you will be prompted to sign in to your credits account. Once successfully signed in, you'll be prompted to spend a certain amount of credits to unlock the file. By unlocking the file you become an owner of a legal copy of the media file, which gives you the right to play the file an unlimited number of times, in addition to the ability to burn it to a regular CD. You can buy the number of credits you wish from our Digital Downloads section on our online shop.

What are credits?
Credits are similar to tickets or tokens you'd use at an arcade shop. Each dollar buys you a certain amount of credits that you can use or redeem towards unlocking a media file.

Why use credits?
1. to simplify your experience; you need only place one order to unlock many or all media files. Imagine you wanted to buy 100 songs. Using credits, you can buy enough to unlock all songs in one order. Without using credits, you'd need to place 100 orders.
2. You can easily add more credits in the future to unlock more media files.

Why do I have to pay for these lectures or songs?
Because they are copyright-protected by the publisher.

Does jannah.com have the legal right to allow downloading of this copyright media?
Yes. We have on file legal agreements with the copyright owners to allow downloads.

I'm a first time credit buyer. What should I do?
Simply place an order on our online shop under Digital Downloads. Once your order is processed successfully, your credit account is created. You would get an email with your user account and password along with instructions on using the credits. Whenever you want to add more credits to your account, simply buy more.

I'm a returning credit buyer. Any special instructions?
Simply place an order as usual. Once your order is processed successfully, the credits you bought will be added to your account. You will get a confirmation email along with instructions on using the credits.

What do I get when I unlock the file
