About This Course
A 24-week online Quran Translation course. It builds Quranic vocabulary and word-by-word translation, from short Surahs and Juz Amma to selected Surahs, with basic sentence structure and Ayah context, ending with a written and oral examination.

Questions
Do I need to know Arabic for the Quran Translation course?
No. You need to read the Quran from the Mushaf, but not to know Arabic grammar. The course teaches the most common Quranic words first, then word-by-word translation. For deeper grammar, the Quranic Arabic course follows.
Is Quran Translation the same as Tafsir?
No. Translation gives the meaning of the words; Tafsir explains the passage using recognised scholarly sources. This course keeps to approved translations and their meaning. Tafsir-ul-Quran is a separate course for students who want the explanation as well.
