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.
