Towards Understanding The Quran
by Aminah Elahi
I was first introduced to Al-Huda’s Fahm al-Quran series of lectures given by sister Amina Elahi a few years ago and decided to set up a mirror website to better propogate these audio lectures to other new and born again Muslims. Truly, a revelation, I had never heard such in-depth understanding of the Quran (Tafsir) and hearing it from a woman had the added dimension of relevancy. Her easy-going manner, style, humor, memorable anecdotes and accent were refreshing combined with simple but stimulating Tafseer. These lectures changed my life and helped to set me on a path of always analyzing myself through the Quran and the sunnah, working on my shortcomings, and coming closer to Allah. She did the Tafseer of the whole Quran in 30 days during the month of Ramadan, spending about 2 hours daily on each lectures. Amina Elahi was a student of Dr. Farhat Hashmi, founder of Al-Huda Institute.
Al-Huda opened its first school of Islamic education in Islamabad, Pakistan in 1994. Its founder and leader is a woman, Dr. Farhat Hashmi, who has become a well-known public figure in Pakistan. It became a worldwide phenomenon now with over 200 branches. Al-Huda is a movement of Islamic education and reform with a dedicated female following. Classes under the Al-Huda banner are carried out amongst many diaspora communities in North America, Europe, the Middle East and East Asia. The curriculum at Al-Huda focuses on the texts of the Quran and Hadith. Students learn line-by-line translations and analysis. They learn about the importance of mercy and forgiveness – nothing political and nothing violent. It’s a stark contrast from the extremist rhetoric taught in some schools. These lessons train women so they can understand and apply canonical Islamic teachings to their own lives, reform themselves, and then share this knowledge with others.
May Allah grant continuing rewards to the teachers at Al-Huda, particularly Dr Farhat, who have helped us connect to Allah through His Glorious Book, the magnificent Quran, and the sunnah of our beloved prophet, (pbuh) which now guides our actions and our lives. Ameen!
