Quran Reflection Program

The Quran is at the heart of Maqasid Institute’s scholarly approach and methodology. Continuous cycles of reflection on the Quran is a necessary step for every scholar and practitioner desiring to understand divine guidance in their field of inquiry. This seven-month program is designed to guide participants through one full-cycle of reflection. Its aim is to open hearts and minds to the objectives – maqasid – of the Quran through the Quran’s direct and more subtle forms of communication.

The program follows the suggestion by Prophet Muhammad ﷺ that the Quran be read over seven periods and subsequently elaborated by his companions as Fa-m-y b-sh-aw-q, literally my mouth with longing, which apportioned the Quran equally over the seven periods of study.
