Synopsis
“Everything We narrate to you about the anecdotes of the [noble] Messengers is to strengthen your hearts. The truth is clear; as a lesson and a reminder for the believers.” {11:120}.
Between its first and last verse, no other Sacred Scripture has impacted, nor influenced the entire course of civilisation like the Majestic Qur’an; a miraculous Book that is comprised entirely of Absolute Truth, with stories that are historical in expression, yet Eternal in meaning.
Carefully assimilated by renowned subject experts - rooted in classical, Islamic academic rigour – this unique flagship course is an ideal add-on for any child that is learning to read the Qur’an.
This ongoing programme will help develop a loving, luminous bond between young learners and the Book of Allah by merging literal reading (nazra) with contemplation on the history and significance of those who came before us, as well as the divine wisdom in preserving some of their stories in the Last Revelation to humanity.

Since You're Here...
… we have a small favour to ask. We are benefitting more people than ever before, as we have emerged as a leader in the propagation and dissemination of traditional, Sunni Islam. Through our seminars, digital media content, publications, lectures, tours, and classes, we continue to revive the tradition of learning and teaching in Islam.
Almost all our projects operate at a loss, as our only goal is to strengthen our communities by tackling issues of disadvantage and exclusion head-on. So, you can see why we need to ask for your help. The work we are blessed to undertake at Essential Islam’s takes a lot of time, money, and hard work to produce. But we do it because we believe in our mission – because it might well be your perspective, too.
On a very limited budget, our small team of hard-working volunteers have brought benefit to over 37 million people around the world. We have also been fortunate enough to raise of £1,700,000 for charity to help our fellow Muslims in different parts of the world.
Now imagine what could be achieved with better resources and support?
