Course Description

In a world of stress, anxiety, distraction, depression, and serious overwhelm, we are in great need of angels. Surat al-An’am was famously revealed with 70,000 angels and this unique course opens a door to this beautiful surat. We will read the verses and discuss the stories and context behind them. We will reflect deeply on our own hearts and minds as we soak up these meanings. We will respond to the verses in dua and dhikr and revive the Sunnah of reciting the Quran that the Prophet ﷺ demonstrated for us. Let’s walk through this blessed door of the Quran together!

This is a not-for-credit course and no grades will be issued upon completion.
