What If You Really Understood What You’re Reciting in Prayer?

Be honest—how often do you recite the last 15 chapters of the Qur'an on autopilot? They’re short, powerful, and the most oft-recited surahs in prayer. But do you really know what they mean?

Imagine standing in prayer, reciting these surahs with clarity and intention—fully understanding the words, and letting them transform your connection to Allah.

In Tafsir & Tarbiyah with Imam Isa ibn Matta, you’ll dive into the last 15 chapters of the Qur'an. You’ll explore their meanings and reflect on how to actually apply their lessons to your life.

This is a blessed Book which We have revealed to you, O Prophet, so that they may contemplate its verses, and people of reason may be mindful.

[38:29] 

When you hear the Qur'an, what does it spark in your heart? You might love listening to your favorite reciters or feel connected while standing in Taraweeh or praying in congregation. But have you ever felt like something was missing?

Beyond hearing its beauty or reciting in Arabic, it can feel hard to form a personal, meaningful relationship with the Qur'an. It’s easy to rely on others—reciters, translations, or scholars—to connect you to Allah’s words. But how do you take what you know of the Qur'an and build that relationship yourself, through your own prayer and reflection?

Every ayah of the Qur'an is more than words to recite—it’s a call to action, a reminder, a source of inspiration, and a conversation between you and your Creator. The Qur'an invites you to reflect, act, and grow. The key to unlocking this is understanding its Tafsir—the meanings and messages behind the verses.

Tafsir & Tarbiyah

Living the Last 15 Chapters of the Qur’an

This course is more than just reading or translating verses—it’s a journey to deeply understanding, reflecting on, and living the words of Allah in your daily life.

Tafsir means uncovering the meanings and wisdom behind the verses of the Qur’an, while Tarbiyah refers to personal and spiritual development—growing and refining your character in alignment with Allah’s guidance. Together, they empower you to live the Qur’an in a way that transforms your heart, mind, and soul.

The Ultimate Transformation:

The Qur’an is meant to be lived. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said,
“The best of you are those who learn the Qur’an and teach it.”

This course will guide you through the tafsir of the last 15 chapters, helping you:

  • Understand what you recite in prayer: Feel the power of every word as you connect deeply with its meaning.
  • Reflect and act upon its lessons: Bring the Qur’an into your daily life through practical applications.
  • Transform your character and relationships: Let the Qur’an shape your heart, actions, and the way you engage with those around you.

This isn’t just about recitation or memorization—it’s about transformation. Through Tafsir & Tarbiyah, you’ll begin to truly live the Qur’an, allowing its wisdom to guide your heart, mind, and actions every day.

Let this course be your first step toward building a lifelong relationship with the Book of Allah, one that not only strengthens your faith but also adds real value to your life—here and in the afterlife.
