Arabic Grammar & Tafsir: Through the Eyes of Qur’aan

This course introduces learners to the foundations of Classical Arabic grammar through Qur’aanic examples, focusing on how grammatical structures convey meaning, emphasis, and rhetorical beauty in the Qur’aan. Students analyze verses word-by-word, learning how grammatical rules shape interpretation and how subtle changes affect meaning and legal or theological implications.

Rather than studying grammar in isolation, the course anchors every rule in authentic Qur’aanic passages, allowing students to immediately apply what they learn to real verses.
