Connecting to the Quran - (On-Campus | Tuesdays | 8 weeks )

“Thus do We explain in detail the signs for a people who give thought…” (Al-Qur'ān, 10:24)

Allāh Almighty encourages us to contemplate and explore His Book – we must question ourselves, in reality, how connected are we to His Divine Words? How well do we know the Book of Allāh?

This special unit has been carefully designed for anyone who wishes to strengthen their connection with the Qur'ān by exploring its deeper meanings and guidance.

Although it is not possible to explore the entire Qur'ān in sufficient depth in a short period of time, this course will provide you with a unique insight into the most commonly recited chapters, including: Al-Fatihah, Al-Ikhlâs, Al-Falaq and Al-Naas; thus, becoming a strong foundation for any future Qur'ān studies.

Your journey through the Qur'ān will consist of a distinctive blend of traditional explanations, modern linguistic analyses, spiritual insights, and stylistic frameworks, so that you can appreciate and understand the miraculous nature of this Divine Book and practically apply it to your life.
