our mission
Our main mission is to spread the knowledge of the Qur’an. We do that through providing Qur’anic Arabic books, classes, tutoring and online lectures and also providing reflections on the Qur’an in English. This is not a commentary on the Qur’an or an attempt to translate the Qur’an, it is personal reflections based on my learning from my teachers and mentors, as well as my own.
