LOOKING BACK: Taking a moment to consider how far we have come in these studies can help us appreciate Allah’s blessings and be grateful for them. Others who have not shared our previous four years’ experiences can consider accessing the resources and undertaking their study, for next Ramadhaan, or at any time through the year, in shaa’ Allah. (These studies are highly suitable for Ramadhaan, by Allah’s Permission, but not exclusively limited to only this month!)

Volume 1 of this series was our study tool for the classes in Ramadhaan 1439 (2018). Thirty lessons consisted of seven modules each, with Grammar, Tafseer, and Hadeeth modules, as well as a variety of extension activities, beginning with the verses about fasting.

Volume 2 (1440/2019) included fifteen Tafseer lessons and fifteen Hadeeth lessons on various topics. A fatwa (Islamic legal verdict) from Shaykh Ibn Baaz (may Allah have Mercy on him) was included in each lesson.

Volume 3 (1441/2020) included 30 lessons on each of the four main topics: Tafseer, Hadeeth, Arabic, and Tajweed. The 30 verses of Soorah al-Mulk were studied, a verse a day, for each day of the month, from four different books of Tafseer! Brief lessons in Tajweed and Arabic provided a broad scope of topics to keep students engaged in a variety of fields the whole month, a much needed escape from the initial lockdown of the Covid-19 Pandemic!

Last year’s Volume 4 (1442/2021) included another set of 120 lessons in Tafseer, Hadeeth, Arabic (Sarf, or word derivatives and conjugations), and Tajweed, focused on Soorah Ibraaheem. We cut back to reading two (not four) books of Tafseer – al-Baghawee and as-Sa’dee. And this is what we are building on for this year as well, in shaa’ Allah.

All previous years’ activities continue to benefit people, by the Permission of Allah. The workbooks remain available through Amazon all over the world, in both traditional print and Kindle editions, and all four complete sets of high-quality class recordings are still available on the 1MM Spreaker channel for free listening and/or downloading.

A QUICK OVERVIEW OF THE SOORAH: This year’s Quranic selection is the tremendous chapter, Soorah Ghaafir, a beautiful chapter of 85 verses, covering all aspects of Towheed:

• Allah’s Ruboobiyyah (Sovereignty) [Verses 62, 64-65, 68]
• His beautiful Names and Attributes [3, 7-8, 12, 15-17, 19-20…]
• His sole right to be worshipped alone [3, 12, 14, 62, 65…]

The soorah also includes many accounts of the scary realities of life after death and the Day of Judgment [10-12, 15-18, 32, 39, 46-52, 59…].

The wise, rational, and caring approach of the “hidden believer” is a unique topic covered in this soorah [28-45], being the reason it is called Soorah al-Mu’min. This shining example of excellent dialogue is countered by many repeated prohibitions and stern rebuke of blameworthy argumentation [4-5, 35, 56, 69].

Another pair of opposites is found in the soorah: How Allah disgraces the disbelievers in this life and the Next [5-6, 10-12, 21-22, 45-50, 52, 70-76, 82-85], and how Allah supports and honors the believers [40, 45, 51].

We also find essential reminders about many of Allah’s great blessings:

• His forgiveness [3]
• His provisions [13, 64]
• The creation of the heavens and earth [57, 64]
• The creation of the night and day [61]
• The creation of the human beings themselves [64, 67]
• Even livestock and our forms of transportation [79-80]

With all of this, Allah invites us to reflect and use our intellects [13, 21, 54-58, 82].

May Allah make us from those who truly reflect and understand, those who recognize Allah’s blessings and live up to the gratitude that is required from them.

We hope this workbook and these lessons will be your key, by Allah’s Permission, to many hours of beneficial and focused study in Tafseer and Hadeeth this month, in shaa’ Allah. The 30 Tafseer lessons constitute a complete study of Soorah Ghaafir, from the explanations of al-Baghawee and as-Sa’dee. The 30 Hadeeth lessons remain a very consistent feature of our Ramadhaan Lessons. Similar to last year, we study 30 narrations relevant to the passages from the soorah found in each lesson, taking five brief points of explanation (usually) for each narration, like previous years. An occasional (and irregular) activity may be found in some of the lessons, like the supplications in Lessons 8 and 19, or the chain mapping challenges found in Lessons 4, 5, 25, and 29.
