4-week study of Surah An-Nur with Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan
12th June - 9th July, 2026 | Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Application Deadline: Sunday, 26th April 2026.
"This program is about engaging the Quran as a living guide for real human experience. By bringing together people from different professional and life backgrounds, we want Allah’s words to be studied in conversation with real challenges facing society today. The goal is to remove barriers, create space for serious reflection and allow deep study to benefit the wider Ummah through shared learning."
A Thematic and Contextual Tafsir with Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan
Surah An-Nur deals with some of the most difficult moments faced by the Prophet ﷺ and the early Muslim community. It addresses internal sabotage, external pressure and serious moral challenges, while also containing deeply spiritual passages.
What makes this surah unique is how it brings social reality, ethical responsibility and spiritual guidance together as one coherent message, showing how the Quran speaks directly to real human and communal challenges rather than treating them in isolation.
Tools for Quranic Contemplation with Ustadh Jawaad Shah & Ustadha Isma Kouser
This course offers a practical and inspiring path to Quranic reflection. Tadabbur—distinct from formal tafsīr—is the process of personally and deeply engaging with Allah’s words. In this course, students will learn how to reflect with structure, creativity and sincerity, drawing from both classical scholarship and contemporary tools.
From recognizing literary patterns to expressing personal insights, this course builds the skills and mindset needed to form a lifelong, reflective relationship with the Quran.
It speaks to real communities, real crises and real moral choices. When we study it seriously, it speaks back with clarity.
The program will take place at ISTAC-IIUM, one of Kuala Lumpur’s most distinguished centres of Islamic scholarship. Known for its serene surroundings and classical Islamic architecture, it offers an inspiring environment for focused reflection and deep engagement with the Quran, insha’Allah.
Beyond the classroom, students can enjoy interactive group activities designed to foster connection, reflection and community. Unwind, share insights and build meaningful relationships with fellow participants.
