The premier method of nurturing an intimate relationship with the Quran is to dive into the depths of its meanings. As such, students will be taught Quranic exegesis of chapters that are commonly recited, i.e. Surah al-Fatihah and the final ten surahs. Though this course is only an introduction to the vast science of tafsir, students will find themselves connecting to the words of Allahﷻ and finding a new sense of attachment to their prayers and worship.

The fall semester aims to deliver a sound and meaningful explanation of the following chapters: Al- Fatiha, al-Nas, al-Falaq, al-Ikhlas, al-Lahab, al-Kawthar. This course is a corequisite of TRTL-103.
