Thafseer Lafzi — Semester 2 التفسير اللفظي

Exam: Sem 2 · date TBD · Word-by-word tafseer continues — the surahs of Juz Amma taken one class at a time.

● Ongoing — 12 classes so far · new lessons land as classes happen

Thafseer Lafẓī = the meaning of every word. Semester 2 continues the Semester-1 method — read the vocalized Arabic, learn the word-by-word meanings, then rebuild the translation — working through the sūrahs of Juzʾ ʿAmma in descending order. Each class takes one sūrah (occasionally part of one), covering its vocabulary, its ṣarf (word-form) notes, and the meaning of each āyah in turn. Theme and occasion of revelation stay in the background; the word-by-word meaning is the focus. Lessons appear here class-by-class as the semester progresses. The weekly Semester-2 classes are taught by Sheikh Azeem, who also taught the later Semester-1 Thafseer classes; a one-off class given at the residential programme was taught by Sheikh Akram and appears here alongside them.
