Refuge in Revelation

The Quran is the eternal, uncreated speech of Allah revealed to His last messenger Muhammad (saws) to guide all of humanity. In this era of increasing turmoil and confusion, our need for the Quran has never been greater, but we have never been more distant from it. “Refuge in Revelation: Finding Guidance in the Book of Allah” will re-introduce students to the treasures of revelation.

The course, taught by Ustadh Yahya Rhodus, will cover an introduction to the discipline of exegesis (tafsir), followed by a bird’s eye view of its content, the seven major themes of the Quran. Next, students will engage the Quran’s more oft-recited passages, as a means to growing closer and reconnecting with the Book. This course is intended to reemphasize the role of the Quran not only as a source of law, but as a source of spiritual and ethical guidance in all aspects of our lives. With this deeper appreciation of the role and purpose of the Quran in our lives, students will be prepared to embark on the lifelong journey of engaging the Book of Allah.
