Available Spots
Description
“Stories from the Qur’an” is a course that explores some of the most important narratives in Islamic tradition -- stories that have shaped religious belief, Arabic culture and language, and Palestinian cultural identity. Through close reading, discussion, and analyzing historical context, we will engage with Qur’anic stories as living narratives that continue to influence ethics, culture, and collective identity. The course focuses on selected stories from the Qur’an and the Hadith, including the story of creation and the first humans, Satan’s disobedience, the stories of different prophets according to Islam (e.g. Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus), and stories from the lifetime of Muhammad, such as Prophet Muhammad’s Night Journey, the Migration to Medina, and other stories. Participants will explore how these stories articulate themes of exile and return, justice and power, faith and doubt, while tracing their effects in Arabic culture, Palestinian storytelling, and everyday language. By the end of the course, students will: - Understand key Qur’anic narratives and their cultural significance. - Develop tools for reading sacred texts analytically. - Explore connections between Qur’anic stories, Arabic culture, and Palestinian identity. - Engage critically with themes of displacement, resilience, and moral struggle. - Expand Arabic vocabulary and knowledge of Islamic narratives and history through story-based learning. *** Early Bird Price Start at - 1300 NIS - Until 15/03 Reduced Price Start at - 1400 NIS - Until 05/04 Full Price Start at - 1500 NIS - Until first lesson of the course We have made a small change in our pricing structure and are now offering a sliding scale in order to give you the opportunity to donate 100 or 200 shekels when you buy a course.
