Now we'll move on to speaking about the tafsir course, which
we're launching next year. So let's start talking about the
tafsir course that we have proposed, this one is going to be
over two days, it's going to be a Thursday, Friday program, right
Thursday, Friday program, about eight to nine hours, over those
two days. So one day will be three and three to four hours, the other
day is going to be three hours. And
what we're going to cover in this, I have not seen another tafsir
course out there, and it's actually something that is a lot
in demand. Because
that's theory is something that is just so mainstream, it's something
that everybody can have access to.
And it's something that everybody should have access to, when we say
Tafseer, because I don't want to reduce this to just talking about
the first seed, it's actually a Quran, Quran Tafseer course, it's
related to everything about the Quran, both understanding the
meaning of the Quran, and that have said that Tafseer is
essentially just a utility and a tool to understand the Quran. So
there's numerous other subjects related to the Quran that we're
going to try to deal with. So again, the proposal here is to
spend about two hours a week out of those two days, dealing with
probably between, I would say, maybe 20, to 30 of CEOs were able
to cover during the year. So we're going to start from the earliest
of Sears, first study, the Manage, there's numerous books that have
been written on the methodologies.
And the style and
their focus of the various different offices in all the way
starting from if you start even ibis, or go down to the first
compiled one is probably the one that's published everybody has is
poverty. And you go down and even know cathedra. And you have Lucy
and you have call to B, and you have tough sell cars in and you
have numerous ones, and then you've got the modern ones. So the
whole idea is to first study, what's the unique features and the
style of this MUFA sim. And then after that, to take selected
passages of that FC, because you're not going to be to do the
whole FC, but to take a Surah or a cluster of verses, and then
actually read that the FC and then look at his style. So for example,
if it's the Cyril Razi, then we're probably going to take a selection
on Aqeedah on theology, because that's what he's really good at.
Right? Cool to Be mashallah, he, you know, we'll have to see what a
representative sample of that is because he sometimes under just
one, one or two verses, he'll have about 20, different birth on
various different subjects, and then Lucia, and so on. So that's
going to be kind of very interesting, because you will get
a good coverage and a scope and a review of at least the main top
series and some of the more obscure type series, so that in
the future when you want to study a verse, or you want to teach a
lesson on tafsir, or give a dose of Quran in the masjid, you know,
exactly which tafsir to go to, because you would have dealt with
them, you'd never think that, hey, these tough seas, man, you know,
they're beyond me. It's just trying to equip
us to get into reading various different facets.
The second,
another hour will be a critical assessment of modern democracy.
Because to be honest, there's been what people would say, Inhofe fit
the first year, in contemporary times, in the most recent times,
there's been a lot of inherit of Intersil. So a lot of the modern
def seers, they're not based on they're not placed based on the
classical literature. These were a lot of more tetherball dobro Quran
just contemporary understanding, in fact, what One assessment shows
is that a number of the series that have been written recently,
there, they were not necessarily even written by scholars, people
who had a background in Hadith and, and Aqeedah. And these were
people who are good thinkers, good Arabist right, a debes maybe, you
know, literature scholars, right? thinkers, philosophers, even and
then they because the Quran is open to all they, they they
produce the Tafseer some have done some have probably produced some
really, you know, some good points in there. But then this is also
because the it's not necessarily backed by full Aqeedah
understanding or re academic understanding of Aqeedah and, and
Hadith and so on. Sometimes, you know, they they could fall into
what you would call deviation from the manage that has been
understood. So, critical assessment of modern deficits.
Then the next another topic that's going to be covered in there is
the whole concept of Bulava and agile Quran
and Farmall Quran so Jazel Quran the style language and structure
of the Quran. That's an amazing I mean, I remember when I did that,
so as to progress Abdel Halim that was just amazing. Just gives you
this new dimension
To look at the Quran from it's quite, quite amazing.
Then there's the Western criticism of the Quran, you know, from over
100 200 years ago until contemporary times, you know,
numerous Orientalist have have criticized the Quran on various
different themes in the Quran, various different ways. So it's
trying to understand what they've written, and how do we respond to
that? Because if you're a scholar, you're going to you're going to
receive questions about various different criticism because these
criticisms when they come out, then they proliferate. And people
pick them up. And even if you think that they've all been dealt
with, like, an earth somewhere and they'll come back to haunt you. So
fam will Quran Western criticism of the Quran responses to that
language style and structure, ages Bulava critical assessment of
modern tafazzin and tafsir selections itself and Rulu Quran
so Illumina Quran will be studied from various different books. And
again, we're not going to study just one book idea is that Manas
Isha, and he will be providing various different
I'm going to let him speak a bit more about that anyway. Right. So
the only thing that's left is
Quran
just a brief point before because some people were calling this
course not, we didn't say but the secret the hustles
fit of zero, meaning the hustle requires the student to actually
have studied the topic at a reasonable level of digital
hustle. So we're going to be starting right from the beginning
and going quite deep because it mother's most mothers as if
there'll be exemptions, I'm sure they are in some of this, but the
level that's to be studied that is in a liberal Quran. If you're
lucky, you may get a closer look a bit
in terms of the FSI. If anything, you have Quran translation, and
then you have jelly, jelly is, you know, it's like an Arabic
translation in Arabic. So you want to have much in terms of
difficile. So beyond that, to say, moving on to the hostels, it
wouldn't really make sense, right. So that's an important
clarification.
But that being said, that being said, a local Quran,
the idea is we're still it's still developing the course as it goes
on. So we'll see how this course goes. And then we will make
amendments depending on
what's not been done before. So we don't have a blueprint that we're
following. So the idea of Quran is to have one base text which is
quite inclusive, it covers the main topics and then in certain
chapters to deviate from the text and to go into the more classical
work so for example, the base text that we have right now we're
looking at is Chef Abdullah dates Abu Kadima to associate your
normal Quran which is a large books but five to 20 pages, but
it's quite basic in terms of his Arabic structure. And the way he
discusses things is quite, quite simplistic. Wait, so the idea will
be read as base texts, but then as chapters come so you didn't ask
Matsuev are you doing for example, you discussing a roof? You can
move into the discussion of co2 because it constantly has multiple
views. But then when you're doing it on a co2, let's say on the
issue of there's so much written in there, it's difficult to try to
even work out what's correct what is it because he literally does
juggle everything. So then the idea is that the teacher is
teaching the book and the students is workers the idea of how I
structure my lessons here, because it was it's not be seen as a
teacher coming here and telling you what's right or wrong or
dictated to you is because everyone's qualified is for us to
sit together and then go through text together. So everyone has an
import an idea and I have my views idea. And then we try to develop
our views together rather than me being an expert and coming in
telling you what's what so that's the basic idea we're looking for.
And then from there, certain topics are gonna be
taken out. So one of the most of it was response to the Mustachio.
Now, one of the major
critiques or of the Quran by the orientalist is on origins, right
so much submission before on
the idea of sidebars. So people are questioning Buhari not not
talking about question your book writing process. The question is
of us to Imam Bukhari, right and where does this question it comes
from is the idea of old transmission and manuscripts plus
courts, right, having a managed on sources and health knowledge is
transmitted is such an important part of our knowledge and such an
important aspect of knowledge it is, which we don't have a separate
lesson for, right that we learn this so is this the whole idea is
to pick out those topics which are not covered, and then we try our
best here to try to cover that and provide sources for students to
read and to take on for later. So that's the basic idea. So if we
move over
