    Excellent course outlining the most important aspects of the Qur’an one should have knowledge of. By far the best course I’ve undertaken thus far. Highly recommended to understand the history of the Qur’an, its compilation, tafseer, scholars of tafseer etc.

    Salam. As an Arabic student and just started my journey with Quran study seriously, I have been benefiting from this course in order to get myself familiar with the Usul Al-Tafsir. I was searching for the basic, if not the right, tafseer and Alhamdulillah, Sheikh mentioned it here from among the classical, modern, methodical and literary perspectives. Besides, it takes to the deep of my heart to realise how strict he is with following the Quran and Sunnah in the process of learning Kalamullah even though there’re opinions that say otherwise about him. In addition, this course makes me feel that I should be ready to think properly, analyse accurately and inshaAllah address the issue accordingly so that others and myself are then applying the understanding of Al-Quran into our own circumstances. Hence, it will appear to us how timelessly guiding Quran is.Alhamdulillah. May Allah preserve and bless Sheikh and us all, ameen.
