Online Quran Tafseer Course
The online Tafseer classes at Quran Sheikh are thoughtfully curated for beginners and new reverts, providing a clear and accessible pathway to understanding the Divine Message.
Rather than just reading the text, this course focuses on decoding the profound meanings behind the words of Allah. We journey through the Quran systematically, starting with the opening beauty of Surat al-Fatiha and proceeding through every Surah to ensure a comprehensive understanding.
What Students Will Achieve In Online Tafsir Classes?
Linguistic Mastery & Word Analysis
Students will learn to decode the root meanings of complex Arabic words. By understanding the linguistic precision of the Quran, you’ll appreciate why specific words were chosen by Allah and how they shift the meaning and tone of each verse.
Contextual Clarity (Asbab al-Nuzul)
Achieve a deep understanding of the historical context behind the revelation. You will learn the specific events and circumstances (Reasons for Revelation) that prompted various verses, allowing you to understand the “why” and “when” of the message.
Integrated Hadith & Scholarly Wisdom
Our classes bridge the gap between the Quran and the Sunnah. You will gain insights from authentic Hadith and the explanations of classical scholars, ensuring your understanding is grounded in traditional Islamic methodology rather than personal guesswork.
Practical Life Application
Tafseer is not just academic; it is transformative. You will achieve the ability to extract practical life lessons and moral guidance from the Surahs, helping you apply Divine wisdom to modern-day challenges, family life, and personal character.
Spiritual Connection in Prayer
By understanding the meanings of what you recite, your Khushu (concentration) in Salah will significantly improve. You will transition from merely reciting sounds to engaging in a meaningful conversation with your Creator during every prayer.
📖 Our Customised Curriculum for the Tafsir Program
To ensure every student receives a personalized learning experience, our Tafseer curriculum is structured into five distinct pillars. This approach ensures that whether you are a new revert or a lifelong student, the lessons are tailored to your pace and goals.
Sequential Surah Breakdown
Our curriculum follows a systematic, chronological order, typically beginning with Juz Amma (30th Para). This allows students to master the shorter Surahs recited daily in prayer before progressing to the longer, more complex chapters, ensuring a steady sense of accomplishment.
Thematic Interpretation (Mawdu’i)
Beyond verse-by-verse analysis, we group lessons by central themes such as the Oneness of Allah (Tawhid), Prophetic stories, and Islamic ethics. This helps students connect different parts of the Quran to form a holistic worldview.
Linguistic & Grammatical Foundation
We customise the level of Arabic depth based on your background. Beginners focus on basic word-to-word meanings, while more advanced students explore the “I’rab” (grammar) and “Balagha” (eloquence) that make the Quran a literary miracle.
Cross-Reference Methodology
Our curriculum integrates the hierarchy of Tafseer, ensuring you aren’t just reading one person’s opinion. We cross-reference each verse with related Ayat, Sahih Hadith, and the foundational works of renowned commentators like Ibn Kathir and Imam al-Qurtubi.
Contemporary Reflection & Q&A
The final stage of our curriculum is dedicated to modern-day application. We include interactive sessions where students can discuss how ancient verses apply to 21st-century issues, fostering a relevant and living connection with the Word of Allah.

🎓 Levels of Our Online Tafseer Lessons
The Foundation
This level focuses on the 30th Juz (Juz Amma) and the most frequently recited Surahs. The primary goal is to help you understand what you are saying during your five daily prayers. You will learn the word-for-word translation of these short Surahs, the basic stories behind them, and the fundamental lessons of faith (Iman) and character (Akhlaq) that they provide for every Muslim.
Intermediate Interpretation
At this stage, we move into a more detailed study of the Madani Surahs, such as Al-Baqarah and Al-Imran. You will explore the reasons for revelation (Asbab al-Nuzul) to understand the historical context of the Prophet’s (PBUH) life. The curriculum introduces how Islamic laws, social ethics, and family values are derived from the Quran, connecting the verses to authentic Hadith for deeper clarity.
Advanced Analytical Tafseer
The final level is an in-depth academic exploration of the entire Quran, utilizing classical scholarly works such as Tafsir Ibn Kathir. You will study the “Miracle of the Quran” through its linguistic eloquence (Balagha) and complex Arabic grammar. This level is designed to give you the tools to analyze different scholarly opinions and understand the profound depth of Allah’s words from a philosophical and legal perspective.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be fluent in Arabic to join the Tafseer course?
No. Our Foundation level is specifically designed for those who may only know how to read the Arabic script but do not understand the language. We provide word-for-word translations in English to bridge the gap.
How are these classes different from just reading a translation?
A translation only gives you the literal meaning. Our classes provide Tafseer, which includes the historical context (why a verse was revealed), linguistic secrets, and connections to the Prophet’s (PBUH) Sunnah that you cannot get from a book alone.
Which classical books of Tafseer do you use?
We primarily rely on the most authentic and widely accepted sources, including Tafsir Ibn Kathir, Tafsir al-Jalalayn, and, for advanced students, the linguistic insights of Imam al-Qurtubi.
Can I choose which Surah I want to start with?
While we recommend a structured path (starting with the 30th Juz), our 1-on-1 sessions are fully customized. If you wish to study a specific Surah for personal or spiritual reasons, our tutors will tailor the curriculum to your request.
How long does it take to complete a specific level?
Because the classes are self-paced, it depends on your frequency. On average, students attending two sessions per week complete the Foundation Level (Juz Amma) in approximately 4 to 6 months.
