Indian Institute of Islamic Studies has launched “One Year Diploma Course in Qur’ānic Language and Teachings”. The inaugural programme of the course was conducted on 12 March. Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Hasan Raza (Director, IIIS) said that in our modern educational institutions as well as traditional religious schools, impartation of knowledge has become only sharing of information. That’s why divine guidance couldn’t become a part of our consciousness. Revolution in our psychology is possible only when we rationally think on the subject of the Qur’ān.
Maulana Ismail Falahi (Deputy Director, IIIS) pointed out, “This course has been initiated mainly for the working professionals who have a strong desire to learn and understand the Qur’ān but their work-schedule does not allow them to pursue the same. Such people will find this course handy.”
Mr. Khan Yasir (Academic Supervisor, IIIS) emphasised upon the need to understand the Qur’ān in Arabic and why it’s not enough to recite or read the Qur’ān through its translations.
Mr. Bahar Ahmad Falahi (Course Instructor) demonstrated highlights and key features of the course. During his PPT presentation, he said the course has been designed after carefully studying various other courses on Qur’ānic Arabic running throughout the world.
The One Year Diploma Course would focus on Qur’ānic vocabulary, Arabic morphology and grammar and also explanation of the basic themes of the Qur’ān. The course will also briefly discuss forty ahadīth and ideological and moral teachings of Islam.
After the Q&A session the programme was concluded with the vote of thanks by Mr. Anisur Rahman (Coordinator, Islamic Academy Trust).
