Online: Studying the Quran

Peace

The main purpose of this group is to solely study the Quran. Each week we will look at a few verses and discuss what we understand. The group was intended to encourage more Quran exposure, outside of just Arabic recitation for prayer.

Alhamdullilah Sister Jessica has been doing this for well for well over 2 years by Gods grace, and I semi-hijacked her group. May Allah reward her immensely. We have continued this group for several years since, praise be to God, and hope to continue it. The current hosts include Sister Inas, Sister Basma, myself, with other assistant admins. Feel free to join any sessions hosted by us throughout the week!

Please do not feel compelled to turn your camera on, as most of us don’t have ours on.

We have no animosity towards any specific belief, or theology, and would like to honor this. You are most welcome even if you are not Muslim. Join us even if feel intrigued or wish to want to ask questions about the Quran.

As a gentle cautionary note, we do not accept spam, swearing, doxing or other forms of harassment. Any misconduct will be addressed immediately. Please do not message intending to stir up controversy. No attendee is obliged to verify their faith as Muslims to another attendee. Interrogations will not be tolerated and the admins will unfortunately remove such participants. Please remain respectful of other attendees. Do not attend sessions merely to interrogate attendees.

If you are not comfortable with anything mentioned above and below in this list here, this may not be the right group for you.

1. You are uncomfortable interacting with different schools of thought, people at different stages of their faith or people interested in Islam
2. You prefer Arabic Quran study with other Arabic speakers
3. You struggle with others having a variety of opinions.
4. You want to just listen to a halaqa
5. You feel uncomfortable studying the Quran independent of a recognised islamic scholar or school.
6. You only want to discuss tafsirs and are not open to discussing the verses outside of the standard framework
7. You are uncomfortable using translations
8. You prefer to connect only with Muslims of the same theological school of thought.
9. You are uncomfortable conversing with others of different faiths, exploring the Quran.

Please attend only if you have none of the above concerns mentioned. This is to reduce friction and allow others to benefit from the sessions. We have members from all countries so Insha’Allah you will find a wonderful small (yet international) community here and be able to read with us.

Peace be with you!
