The Qur’anic Compass: Navigating Life with Divine Wisdom
Overview
The Book of Allah is a timeless treasure, holding the stories of those who came before you, the revelations of what is to come, and the divine wisdom for all matters between you. It is the ultimate truth—clear and unwavering, never to be taken lightly.
Whoever turns away from it in arrogance, Allah will humble him, and whoever seeks guidance elsewhere will be led astray. It is the unbreakable rope of Allah, the wise remembrance, and the straight path that never falters. Desires cannot be led astray with it, neither the tongues guided by its wisdom fumble, and no scholar can ever exhaust its depth.
It does not wear out with repetition, nor do its wonders ever cease. Even the jinn, upon hearing it, were compelled to proclaim:
“Indeed, we have heard a wondrous Qur’an, guiding to righteousness.”
Whoever speaks by it speaks the truth, whoever acts upon it is rewarded, whoever judges by it, does justice, and whoever calls to it leads to the most righteous path.
This Course is designed, keeping in mind these attributes of the Holy Quran. This is a journey for every Muslim seeking a profound connection with the Qur’an and its timeless wisdom. It offers a structured approach to studying the Divine Book, unveiling its core messages, deep insights, and practical guidance for daily life.
True worship flourishes through sincerity and adherence to divine instruction, and this course seeks to illuminate both. Students will delve into the Qur’anic themes of faith, morality, obedience, and the sacred bond between the Creator and His creation. Emphasis will be placed on understanding the Qur’an through its purest sources—the Qur’an itself and the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).
Curriculum
This course follows a dynamic and flexible curriculum, guided by the wisdom of our esteemed Sheikh. Rather than a predetermined syllabus, the study will be centered around selected verses (Ayat) chosen in accordance with relevant themes, current circumstances, and the needs of the students.
