The
course will give an overview of the structure, themes and guidance contained in
each of the 114 chapters of the Noble Qur’an. In particular, we will be looking
at
- how Surah names are related to each Surah and the historical
contexts of their revelation (Asbab al-Nuzul);
- the inter-textual relationship and coherence (Nazm) between verses
of each Surah and the relationship with preceding / following Surahs;
- cross-referencing to other parts of the Qur’an in order to
demonstrate how the “Qur’an explains the Qur’an”;
- explanation of key passages in each chapter; practical
guidance and lessons that can be derived from each Surah.
- We will also be discussing linguistic and stylistic devices
(Balaghah) used in the Qur’an, and some of the problems with translation and
having alternative plausible interpretations.
No prior
knowledge of Arabic or Islam required.
