What is Tafsir Class?
Tafsir classes are structured learning sessions that go beyond reciting the Quran, focusing instead on its deeper meanings and interpretations. In these classes, students explore the context in which verses were revealed (Asbāb al-Nuzūl), the linguistic nuances of the Arabic text, and the lessons that can be applied to everyday life.
They are suitable for learners of different backgrounds and are often conducted both online and in-person. With instruction available in English and Malay, Tafsir classes make Quranic understanding accessible to a wide audience, including beginners who want practical guidance and advanced learners seeking deeper insights.
