I'm going to share with you first of all some matters of approach when it comes to explaining lessons from the Qur'an or the Seer studies.

I think this is a good opportunity for me to talk to you about the way I approach my own research and my own study.

And the kinds of lectures that I do and different kinds of lectures that I do even on the same subject matter.

So, you know, I've been a student for nearly 15 years now.

The more I study it, the more I realize that we don't actually have a systematic approach that can properly run developed approach to analyzing it on and contemporary times.

We have that the Seer literature, there's a lot of scholars in our history that wrote about the Qur'an and wrote analysis of every single ayah.

Like it's almost like scientific how you study it.

And it's really like formulaic and you can get to a result very, very quickly and efficiently, right?

So, we're studying something ancient.

I studied something ancient but I studied it in a modern method, right?

And I tried to bring that approach to Qur'anic studies.

We're studying the text of the Qur'an, the Luhat, the linguistics and all of it.

But I'm going to try to study it in a way that I can actually present in easy language.

So, this has been a pretty interesting journey.
