What is Tafseer?
Tafseer is the explanation of the Quran: what verses mean, the context in which they were revealed and the lessons drawn from them. Studying Tafseer helps you connect with the Quran when you read it and when you hear it recited in prayer.
What the course includes
- Word-by-word meaning of verses
- Translation of each passage
- Explanation of the verses and their context
- Time to ask questions and discuss
How lessons are structured
You and your tutor agree which surahs or sections to study, often starting with short surahs you already recite in prayer. Each class covers a passage: reading, meaning, explanation and discussion.
Who is this course for?
- Adults who want to understand their recitation
- Teens building a deeper connection with the Quran
- Learners who have completed reading and Tajweed
Pair it with Arabic
To understand the words directly, combine Tafseer with our Quranic Arabic course.
