COURSE
DESCRIPTION
This class examines the virtues of the Qur’an as presented in Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī, highlighting the honor, status, and transformative role of Allah’s Book in the life of a believer. Through selected prophetic narrations, students will explore how engagement with the Qur’an elevates individuals and communities, serves as a source of intercession, and distinguishes the people of the Qur’an in this world and the Hereafter. The session encourages a deeper, more intentional relationship with the Qur’an beyond recitation alone.
