Miftaah Quranic Exegesis: Juz Amma
Like Introduction to Hadith, this course allows students to try their hand at applying the grammatical concepts learnt in other courses to analyze and interpret Islamic primary sources. The course methodically guides students through the last Juz’ of the Qur’an and gives students experience translating the uniquely dynamic and engaging style of the Qur’an’s Arabic into English. Along with simple translation, students will learn to recognize and appreciate the thematic coherence between verses and chapters, the deeper meanings of Arabic words, grammatical nuances, the historical context of the revelation of various ayahs, and Qur’anic commentary based on Hadith and the authoritative interpretations of the recognized exegetes of the first generations of Islam. Students are also encouraged to develop and discuss personal reflections on the Qur'anic text and lessons for their contemporary times.

"The content we have learned thus far has left me wanting to join other programs"
I love Miftaah Lite for its flexibility and convenience. The content we have learned thus far has left me wanting to join other programs like Miftaah Seekers or do the Associates program. The scholars are extremely knowledgeable and have approached the subjects in a way that makes you want to learn more.
