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 democratise the knowledge of the Quran, as an unorthodox space that isn’t stifled by traditionalist rhetoric, to encourage Quran exposure, outside of just Arabic recitation for prayer.

We have continued this group for more than half a decade, praise be to God, and hope to continue it.

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. We encourage non-Muslims to join us if you ever had a question regarding 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 is 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, with two branches operating in Middle East and Europe. Insha’Allah you will find a wonderful international community here and be able to read with us.

Peace be with you!
