Q-CONNECT 2023-2024 Online: Zoom

Q. 95 & Q. 96 | COURSE CONTENT

Q-Connect allows for cumulative growth in engagement and understanding of the Qur’an. Over 3 years, we have studied 8 suras (Q. 87 – Q. 94) containing 150 verses in depth over 56 hours through Q-Connect.

This year we will continue our study of Juzz Amma focussing on Suras al-Tin (Q. 95) and al-‘Alaq (Q. 96).

We will undertake a guided reading of each Sura as well as exploration of ring structures and intra and inter Sura structural analyses as well as contextualisation within reference to other sections of the Qur’an and Prophetic Biography.

DATES

Sessions will take place online on the 3rd Wednesday of the month beginning 20th December 2023, from 8-10pm GMT, and consist of two 45-minute presentations with a 15-minute interval and time for comments and questions.
