Nouman Ali Khan – Quran Week Detroit Surah As-Saf

Assalamu alaikum.

I'm coming for another Quran week. This time

it's, Insha'Allah, it's going to be in Detroit

And I'm actually really nervous about this Quran

week because it involves a surah that I've

been involved in studying for about 25 years

now. And now I feel more intimidated studying

it than ever before, and that's sort of

the stuff.

One of my biggest takeaways on Quran Week

is you really get a deep dive into

the why of things.

So this was a lifetime experience for me.

What an amazing way it's been. So much

to ponder on and reflect on and contemplate.

My big inspiration, doctor Asar Ahmed, had studied

and taught that Surah since the age of

20, and he did multiple dulus on that

Surah. And in his own words, he used

to be extremely inspired

by the depth,

and power of the Surah. It really feels

like the karam of Allah based on how

Numa Alaihi Khan starts explaining it, starts breaking

it down. And you really understand at a

very deeper level. Because I feel like from

independent study, you won't be able to extract

that. Myself also have struggled with understanding some

of the Ayat of the Surah and have

just gone around the world talking to multiple

scholars, researchers, colleagues

about some of the implications of the Ayat

inside of the Surah. It's been absolutely

mind blowing. Such a great experience. A very

emotional experience as well. Quran week, if you

didn't know, is a format in which I

try to

take deep studies of Quran and try to

present them in as easy language as possible,

ayah by ayah, phrase by phrase for an

entire Surah. So even though Surah is a

very short Surah,

I'm actually thinking I don't even know if

a week is going to be enough to

cover it but I hope it is Insha'Allah

Ta'ala. I think Quran week is the right

event to help people. It gives you a

profound view, a new perspective.

We have learned so much in such a

short space of time. What I'm really looking

forward to is your questions and discussions

that ensue afterwards.

So I'm asking you guys to come and

attend,

and experience what Quranic studies looks like and

what contemplating the Quran looks like for an

entire week. At the same time, make du'a

that I'm able to do some service to

the surah that does at least an ounce

of, justice to what Allah has given us

in it.
