Quran Tafseer (Jalalyn)

Information for Teachers and Students

Goals

Primary Goals

Explain the meaning of every verse using the text of the Mufassir.

Secondary Goals

Gain familiarity with other tafasir.

Teaching Methodology

Students will attempt to solve and analyse the verse under the supervision of the teacher. After that, the teacher will explain and clarify any necessary points.

Study Methodology

Text Book

Students are strongly encouraged to obtain the Maktabah al-Bushrā edition. This is the edition used by the teacher throughout the course, with regular reference being made to its footnotes.
Using the same edition will ensure that students can follow the lessons accurately and benefit fully from the teacher's references.

Preparation Before the Course

Read the تَرْجَمَةُ الْمُؤَلِّفِ (author's biography) provided in the Maktabah al-Bushrā edition (approximately nine pages).

Basic Study

Before each lesson, complete standard muṭālaʿah.
After each lesson, complete standard murājaʿah.

Advance Study

Before each lesson, complete your standard muṭālaʿah. After the lesson, any verse or topic discussed in greater detail may then be researched further.

This approach ensures that independent study builds upon the classroom discussion, allowing students to deepen their understanding without becoming distracted or overwhelmed by the vast amount of material available.
