About this course
About the Tafseer of the Quran Course
Tafseer means explaining the Quran: what the verses mean, when and why they were revealed, and what they ask of us today. The Ahlul Bayt (as) are the true interpreters of the Book of Allah, and our Tafseer classes draw on their teachings.
Lessons follow the surahs you choose with your teacher, often starting with the surahs you recite every day in salah. You read the verses, learn their meaning, explore their context and discuss how they apply to your own life.
Classes are one to one, so you can ask questions freely. Teenagers and adults alike find that understanding the Quran transforms how they recite and pray.
From the Quran and the Ahlul Bayt (as)
Words of Guidance
أَفَلَا يَتَدَبَّرُونَ الْقُرْآنَ أَمْ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبٍ أَقْفَالُهَا
“Do they not reflect upon the Quran, or are there locks upon their hearts?”
أَلَا لَا خَيْرَ فِي قِرَاءَةٍ لَيْسَ فِيهَا تَدَبُّرٌ
“Beware, there is no good in a recitation that has no reflection in it.”
