Arabic + Nonpartisanism + Coherency
Translations and Commentaries of the Qur'an, no matter how greatly written, are still man-made products. By learning the Arabic of the Qur'an, you will have the ability to connect directly with Divine Revelation and verify anything anyone (including myself) says about Islam. Allah will ask you how seriously you took His book.
Philosophical Groupings, no matter how amazing sounding, are man-made products. By
freeing ourselves from all labels, such as Sunni, Shi'i, Salafi, Sufi, Deobandi,
Barelvi, Ahmediyya, etc., we make sure that we approach the Qur'an with no affiliation
to any post-prophetic group or person. This ensures that we seek the Truth for the
sake of seeking the Truth, with no filtration of any sort. We treat the word "Muslim"
as "surrendering to the creator", rather than an identity. By doing so, we become like
Abraham. And Allah says:
"وَمَنْ أَحْسَنُ دِينًا مِّمَّنْ أَسْلَمَ وَجْهَهُ
لِلَّهِ وَهُوَ مُحْسِنٌ وَاتَّبَعَ مِلَّةَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَنِيفًا ۗ وَاتَّخَذَ اللَّهُ
إِبْرَاهِيمَ خَلِيلًا"
An incoherent and disconnected reading of the Qur'an is academically dishonest. By
approaching the Qur'an from the start to the end, in a holistic manner, we understand
who Allah is, and what His expectations are. We also understand The Prophet, his
roles, and his expectations. This academically honest reading of the Qur'an prevents
us from injecting our biases into the Qur'an. And Allah says:
"كَمَا أَنزَلْنَا
عَلَى الْمُقْتَسِمِينَ , الَّذِينَ جَعَلُوا الْقُرْآنَ عِضِينَ , فَوَرَبِّكَ
لَنَسْأَلَنَّهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ , عَمَّا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ"
What 'Islamic Studies' should actually be
If you are serious about taking the Qur'an seriously,
this is a calling for you.
After having completed my memorization of the Qur'an in 2011, I embarked on a journey to uncover the guidance found in this Book. My Arabic+Qur'anic education consisted of:
However, after all my time in learning deep Islamic Sciences, all of my most important
questions about life were answered by the Qur'an. The biggest challenge then became to
start teaching the Qur'an in a non-bias and productive way.

The requirements are:
Natadarrab™ is a concept-based course. Meaning, it's extremely flexible if you get the work done. My job is to make sure that all the concepts are installed in your head by any means necessary. This is done through interactive quizzes, tutorials, videos, etc.
However, I realize that sometimes a live connection between the student and the
teacher are extremely necessary.
For this, I have a ticketing system by which
you can ask questions, and I will personally answer.
Failure is an important part of learning. Infact, failure sometimes teaches more than success itself. As your coach, my job will be to make sure that you fail responsibly. Failing itself is an art, and I make sure you master it.
