al-Salāmu ’alaykum everyone. In Shā’Allāh I pray everyone had a rewarding Ramadan. May Allāh accept all of your deeds and works.
Here’s a full playlist of all the Ramadan lectures from this year (1441AH/2020CE). May Allāh bless us to see another.
We at Middle Ground have a short survey about a new class, a Qur’an reading circle. Please, if you have a moment, take time to fill it out. Jazakum’Allahu khayran:

The Qur'an's use of imagery is important to grasp, not only grammatically, but in order to be adequately inspired by it. Like its use of nahr and anhār (نهر، أنهار، نهار) "river(s) and day": like time passing us by like the gushing of a river. In one sense, time eludes us, rushing past us (pun intended). In another sense is a river's gushing stream and its tranquilizing power, as how God describes The Garden (Jannah). For me, with the ever increasing insanity of the world I need a fantasy world to retreat to. But a fantasy still rooted in reality.
