Fall 2026 cohort

Exploring the Qur'an

A close reading of the Qur'an's most often-recited chapters — moving from the Arabic text through interpretation (tafsir) to each surah's living relevance, while also memorizing the surahs covered.

Preteens and teens, 12–17
8 weeks
$160

Registration open

What He Learns

Through selections of tafsir on the oft-repeated surahs, your son learns the depth of the Qur'an's meanings and its beauty — and comes away with a real appreciation for the miracle of Allah's book.

By the End

By the end, a student should be able to understand and value the Qur'an — its language, its imagery, and the depth behind the surahs he recites most often — and to draw out a surah's central lessons rather than only its translation.

How It's Taught

A room, not a recording

Live, not recorded

Online, live cohort. He shows up to a real class, with a real teacher, at a real time — and can ask a question the moment he has one.

10 students maximum

Small enough that nobody drifts to the back of the room. His teacher knows whether he understood, because there is nowhere to hide.

Taught by Irslan Ahmad

The same teacher, every week, start to finish — not a rotating bench and not a stand-in. Continuity is most of what makes a class work.
