This single weekend seminar brings to light the literary marvel and subtlety of the Qur’an to English speaking audiences. Attendees need not have background in the Arabic language. The seminar comprises a series of discussions on literary issues pertaining to the Qur’an that are difficult to capture in translation such as the placement of Qur’anic stories, repetition, alleged grammatical errors, coherence and transitions from subject to subject, and more.
The daily prayer (salah) is plays a central role in the daily life of a Muslim. This amazing prophetic ritual is replete with beautiful utterances of remembrance and wisdom. Meaningful Prayer is a powerful weekend seminar that introduces attendees not only to the linguistic meanings behind each word in the prayer, but to the literary beauty in them as well.
The goal of this seminar is to give attendees a solid start in proper recitation of the Qur’an consistent with the prophetic method of recitation. Our attendees don’t only fine-tune their recitation through this highly interactive seminar, they develop new love of reciting the Qur’an at the same time!
A ten –consecutive-evening course designed for individuals with day-time commitments helping them get a solid footing in essential Qur’anic Arabic. Students cover some of the most complex issues in grammar in easy to understand and creatively composed lessons that focus exclusively on the Qur’an’s language.
