Studying the Qurʾān (STQ)

Studying the Qurʾān (STQ) Class

Studying the Qurʾān (STQ) class started in 2005. We finished the first round of the Qur’an in Ramadan 1443/2022. Then we had almost one year of Thematic Study of the Qurʾān (TSQ). There were 25 TSQ classes. Most of the class notes and recordings have been uploaded.

On May 21, 2023, we started the second round of “Studying the Qurʾān. (STQ) classes with Surah Fatiha. These classes are held every Sunday, at 9:30 am (MST); they generally last one hour.
