Course Overview

Decoding Divine Discourse

A study circle of Tafsir al-Jalalayn, suited to intermediate-level study. Tafsir al-Jalalayn is one of the most widely studied Qur’anic exegesis in the Islamic tradition and is known for its concise style.

Join us as we explore the Qur’an through classical commentary, guided translation, and reflective explanation in Arabic and English, as well as discussions of other key topics ranging from language, fiqh, and stories.

The study will also draw, where appropriate, on insights from other classical works on Tafsir.

Testimonials

See what our students have said about our courses!

I attended the Tafsir of Surah ad-Duha organized by AMF with Ustadh Rehan. The session provided me with a deeper understanding of the Surah and an appreciation for the richness of the Arabic language. Each verse was carefully dissected, and Ustadh Rehan not only explained everything in detail but also kept the class highly engaged by involving us in discussions and asking thought-provoking questions to encourage reflection. This was not my first experience with AMF, and Insha’Allah, it will not be my last.

After studying this course with Al-Ma'rifah, I’ve found it to be the easiest form of access to local scholars and teachers. The workbooks are very well-designed and the weekly class is something I look forward to. To me, the best thing that has come out of this course (other than seeking knowledge) is meeting new brothers on the same journey. Definitely recommend!

This course offers a great opportunity to gain knowledge from brilliant teachers. Classes are interactive and the course gives you the option of flexibility, with platforms such as online classes to cater for different students. The Al-Ma'rifah team are helpful and professional, and take feedback on board to deliver us with high quality content.
