You can learn more about the program here: In short, I highly recommend the program for those looking to learn classical Arabic so they can understand the Qur'an as well as access classical Arabic texts (e.g. Tafsir, poetry, etc.). I particularly recommend attending the live classes, as it will help you stay motivated as well as provide easy access for asking questions and clarifying your understanding. There is a lot of resources for support and the material and program are excellent. If you want to contact me for more information about the program or ask questions about my experience, you can reach me at yaminoanil@gmail.com.

May Allah bless all of those seeking knowledge and make it easy for us to understand the Qur'an to the fullest extent.
