Qur'an Tafsir
Understand what you recite, and let its verses guide your day.
About the course
Qur'an Tafsir at Bilqalam Institute is a course for teens and adults that takes you from reading the verses to understanding them and living by them. We usually start with the surahs you've memorized and pray with, like Juz' Amma, then move on to longer surahs as you wish. For each surah, we look at its theme and the reason it was revealed where one is known, explain the meaning of its words and verses based on trusted books of tafsir, and stop at the practical lessons that touch your life. The course moves at your pace, in live one-to-one classes, with a report after every class.
How does the course work?
We begin with the surahs you know. In the free trial class, the teacher learns what you've memorized and what you want to understand, and chooses with you the surahs to start with. Each live one-to-one class then brings together reading the verses, explaining their meaning and context, pausing on what they mean for your life, and space for your questions, at times you choose around your schedule. Every class report is saved to your account on the site.
What will you learn?
You'll understand Allah's words in a way that changes how you read and how you pray. Here's what you'll learn:
- The theme and main aims of each surah
- The meaning of key Qur'anic words
- The context of the verses and why they were revealed
- Practical lessons and values from every surah
- Connecting the verses to your everyday life
- Tadabbur: how to reflect on the Qur'an on your own

What our students say
I am so grateful to Bilqalam Quran Institute for providing such a beautiful Quran learning experience. My son Usmaan recently had a trial class with Teacher Khadija, and we were truly impressed by her kindness, patience, and teaching style. Teacher Khadija is a wonderful teacher who teaches with love, care, and dedication. She made Usmaan feel comfortable and encouraged him throughout the class. We could see her passion for teaching the Quran and helping students improve. I highly recommend Bilqalam Quran Institute to all parents who are looking for a caring and knowledgeable Quran teacher for their children. May Allah bless Teacher Khadija and the entire institute with endless barakah, success, and reward for spreading the knowledge of the Quran. JazakAllah Khair for your amazing service. Ameen 🤲❤️

Questions about the course
Do I need to know Arabic?
No. Classes are available in English or Arabic, and your teacher explains the important Qur'anic words step by step.
How is this different from the Understand the Qur'an course?
Understand the Qur'an teaches you the language of the Qur'an itself, so you can understand the verses directly in Arabic. Qur'an Tafsir explains the meaning, context and lessons of the verses, and you can start it without knowing any Arabic.
Is it suitable for my teenager?
Yes. The teacher explains in a way that suits their age and connects the verses to what they face at school and in daily life. For younger children, we have the Islamic Studies for Kids course.
Are female teachers available?
Yes. We have qualified female teachers, and you choose a male or female teacher to suit you. If it isn't the right match, we'll change it for free at any time.
