A number of these Qur’anic passages provide support and solace to the Prophet peace be upon him during challenging and testing times, and we discussed some of the practical lessons in these for the believers.

During this course, we explored a number of Qur’anic passages about the Prophet peace be upon him, his exalted status, his lofty character and his proximity to God. We also covered passages requiring the believers to love and follow him.

An exciting eight-week short course which explored Signs in Q. 26 ‘The Poets’.

Throughout the sessions we also reflected on the signs and practical lessons contained in each of the Prophetic stories, as well as Qur’anic Signs more generally, particularly those relating to the following broad categories: Revelation, Miracles, Historical Signs, Cosmic Signs and the Natural World.
