Tafseer (also spelled Tafsir) means explanation. It explains the meaning of the Quran’s words and verses, the background in which they were revealed, and the lessons they carry. Surah Sad (38:29) says the Quran was sent so that people would reflect on its verses.

What Students Say
Tafseer Course Questions
Do I need to know Arabic to learn tafseer?
No. Classes are taught in English, and your teacher explains the meaning of each word and verse in clear, easy-to-understand language.
What is the difference between tafseer and translation?
A translation gives you the meaning of the words in your language. Tafseer explains the deeper meaning, the background (Asbab al-Nuzul), and the lessons of each verse, so you understand it fully and know how to apply it.
Does learning tafseer online work?
Yes. In a one-to-one online class, your teacher goes at your exact pace and answers every question, which is difficult to do in a large group or video lecture setting.
Can I join if I can’t read the Quran yet?
Start with Noorani Qaida or Learn to Read Quran first. Once you can read Arabic text, you can begin tafseer. Your teacher checks your level in the free classes.
How long does the tafseer course take?
It depends on how much of the Quran you want to study and how often you have class. We don’t promise a fixed time. Your teacher sets a plan after the free classes, and your monthly report shows your progress.
Is the tafseer taught from authentic sources?
Yes. Our teachers are graduates of recognized Islamic institutions and teach from established classical and classical-modern tafseer works, not personal opinion. Their qualifications are published on their profiles.
Can I learn with a female teacher?
Yes. Sisters and girls can learn with a qualified female teacher. Ask for one when you book your free classes.
How much does the tafseer course cost?
The tuition fee is $120 per month (CAD $100 · £90). There is no enrollment fee and no contract. You can view full rates on our tuition fee page.
How does the free trial work?
You get 3 free classes of 30 minutes each. No credit card is needed. If it isn’t the right fit, you walk away and owe nothing.
