Tafseer

Tafseer (translation/explanation of the Noble Qur'aan).

Purpose of study

The Holy Qur’an is the foundation of our Islamic Studies curriculum since it governs Muslims in all walks of life. Consequently, the study of Tafseer enables students to better understand the intended meanings of a verse, derive guidance and inspiration from its message and ultimately, implement into daily life. In-depth reading, analysis and evaluation of the verses provide opportunities for students to reflect on religious beliefs and practices, mature in their own opinions, values and behaviour and most importantly, develop into well-rounded individuals with a love for Allah SWT and their religion.

Aims

We aim to ensure that, within Tafseer lessons, all students:

  • Develop a close spiritual connection to the Kalaam (speech) of Allah.
  • Learn and understand the Qur’an’s meanings and message.
  • Procure motivation and encouragement from the Qur’an’s wisdom and guidance.
  • Reflect on the meanings and explanations of verses.
  • Appreciate the Holy Qur'an as Allah's final revealed message to mankind.
  • Refer to authentic and reputable Tafaseers (commentaries) of the Qur'an.
  • View and understand Qur’anic verses in the correct context thereby avoiding the dangers of developing extremist ideologies.
