If you’re interested, please join our “The Prophet and the Qur’an” weekly class, free online, where we study the Qur’an in order of revelation, hence linking it directly to the Sirah or Life of the Prophet, peace be upon him. Our main sources are Imam Tabari for the Tafsir and Imam Dhahabi for the Sirah, although other sources are consulted as well. We have an ecumenical and interfaith approach to the discussions, as well as reflecting upon practical, transformational inner and outer dimensions, i.e. this is not a purely theoretical or academic class, but we consider how we can make positive changes in our lives after reflecting upon the Word of God.
