PAST Q-IMMERSION
2024 – Qasas (Q. 28)
The sixth annual Q-Immersion at St. John’s College, Oxford, covered Surah Qasas (Q. 28). A guided reading of the whole Surah on the first day was followed by a formal dinner at Christ Church College and ended with an opportunity for personal study. On the second day, three facilitated workshops offered the space to read, reflect upon and discuss an academic study of the Surah which attendees then presented to the wider group.
SUMMARY OF SURA QASAS
Sura al-Qasas is a heavily story based Meccan sura.
The sura can be split into three large sections: (1) The story of Prophet Moses peace be upon him from birth to prophethood; (2) God relating lessons from Prophet Moses’s peace be upon him story to the Prophet’s peace be upon him situation in Mecca, and (3) The story of Qarun.
Notably, the sura begins and ends with mention of God’s scripture paralleling Sura Ta Ha which is also about the story of Moses.
SURA QASAS
An exposition of the whole sura was presented on the first day taking place in the lecture theatre.
By the end of the day, students were able to appreciate the basic structure of the sura, the main themes and how the narrative develops.
