The course will discuss the Quran’s core attributes (truth, guidance) and its significance compared to other scriptures. We’ll explore how the Quran guides all aspects of life and improves our morals. Additionally, we’ll examine the transformative power of reciting the Quran.
Moving on, we’ll investigate the miraculous preservation of the Quran throughout history and its compilation during the early Caliphate. Finally, you’ll be introduced to Quranic translation and interpretation (Tafsir), equipping you to understand and apply the Quran’s teachings in your daily life.
