How many times have you wished to get an understanding of the gist of the meanings of the Qur'an while it is being recited in prayer?
This course will explore the Arabic language as it is used in the Qur'an, with numerous examples of vocabulary, terms, concepts and the various shades of their meanings to provide a rich understanding of the dynamism of the Qur'an.
In this semester, we will introduce some basic Arabic Grammar to assist the student to independently explore the Qur'an.
