Our next chapter
Surah al-Nisa
Faith, family, justice, society and responsibility.
Surah al-Nisa is one of the Qur'an's great Madinan surahs — addressing the construction of a just, principled and compassionate Muslim society.
Through its verses we encounter questions of family, marriage, inheritance, wealth, leadership, social responsibility, justice, hypocrisy, community and our relationship with Allah.
Rather than simply reading a translation, Guided Reading slows down and explores the Qur'an carefully — connecting the wording of the verses, their context and the guidance they offer us today.
What Guided Reading looks like
Don't just finish the Qur'an.Learn to understand it.
Tafsir
Explore the explanation, background and significance of each passage.
Context
Understand why verses were revealed and how they fit within the wider message of the Qur'an.
Fiqh
Encounter the legal guidance contained within the verses and how scholars understood it.
Aqidah & Spirituality
Explore matters of belief, the heart, character and our relationship with Allah.
Life Today
Ask the question that matters: what does this verse mean for us now?
Guided Reading brings the classical Islamic tradition into a structured, accessible study of the Qur'an for the modern Muslim.

Your teacher
Shaykh Mohammed As'ad Ali
Director of Imdadiyyah — Sheffield
A structured study of the Qur'an should give you more than information. It should teach you how revelation speaks to belief, worship, character, family and everyday life.
Shaykh Mohammed As'ad Ali is the Director of Imdadiyyah, an Islamic educational institution and madrassah in Sheffield — founded by his parents as Jamia Islamia Urdu Teaching Centre, through which they served the local Muslim community for many years.
On returning from Madinah, he took up its leadership: renaming the institution Imdadiyyah, overseeing the refurbishment of its premises, and expanding its educational vision and programmes. Under his direction it has grown from a community madrassah into a broader centre for Islamic education, pastoral care and community development, while continuing the legacy his parents established.
In Guided Reading, he combines traditional Islamic scholarship with clear, accessible explanation and open discussion — reading the verses closely, drawing on the works of the mufassirun, and connecting each passage to the lives of students today.
