MONTHLY ONLINE | 2025-2026
Q-Connect allows for cumulative growth in engagement and understanding of the Qur’an. OVER 5 years, we have studied 12 suras (Q. 87 – Q. 98), 188 verses, in depth over 70 hours through Q-Connect.
This academic year we will continue our study of Juzz Amma focussing on Suras al-Zalzala (Q. 99) and al-‘Adiyat (Q. 100). Scroll down for session dates. Click on register to join.
SESSION FORMAT
We will undertake a guided reading of each Sura followed by intra and inter Sura structural analyses. We will explore ring structures in the suras as well as contextualisation with reference to other sections of the Qur’an and Prophetic Biography.
