Tafseer Classes

Shaykh Haytham Tamim: a scholar of the Quran

Classical training

Shaykh Haytham Tamim has dedicated his life to studying the Quran, drawing from major classical texts and the teachings of renowned scholars. His knowledge has not just been acquired from books, but also from being in the company of respected scholars from whom the knowledge has been passed down over generations, from chest to chest, going back to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.

Real-life application

As a community leader, Shaykh Haytham understands that sacred knowledge is meant to shape lives, not sit on shelves. His experience in guiding and advising people allows him to explain how Quranic guidance applies to contemporary challenges. The Quran is a living message, showing how prophets faced and overcame difficulties with solutions that remain relevant today.

Clear and practical Tafseer

Shaykh Haytham makes Tafseer accessible and engaging, breaking down verses to reveal their psychological, emotional, historical, and legal implications. Whether analysing linguistic nuances, scholarly debates, or historical context, he specialises in showing how visual and compelling the verses are. His explanations provide clarity and practical guidance. Each class aims to strengthen faith and offer actionable insights to improve character and conduct.

[This is] a blessed Book which We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], that they might reflect upon its verses and that those of understanding would be reminded.

Quran (38:29)

Why study tafseer?

The Quran: your guide to a meaningful and successful life

Are you unlocking the Quran’s wisdom?

The Quran is your divine guide to a successful life - but how much are you benefiting from it? Reciting it beautifully is one thing, but understanding its deeper meanings is another. Translations may help, yet without context, the coherence can be lost. The Quran isn’t a simple narrative—it requires guidance. You need someone with deep knowledge to unlock its meanings, explain the background of revelations, and show how its rulings fit together as a complete way of life.

More than recitation – a manual for life

Allah, your Creator and ultimate destination, gave you the Quran not just for worship, but for deep reflection. It challenges you to think, make choices that elevate you, and strive for your highest potential. You have the ability to reason, choose, and pursue excellence. The Quran reminds you—you can rise to the level of angels or fall to the level of animals. The choice is yours.

Finding clarity in a confusing world

In a world filled with confusion, misinformation, and cultural distortions, the Quran provides clarity, truth, and a path forward. It helps you cut through the noise of differing opinions and conflicting ideologies, offering divine wisdom that transcends time.

Why study Tafseer?

Studying Tafseer with a reputable and reliable source allows you to understand each verse clearly —how it connects to the life of the Prophet ﷺ, how it shaped mindsets, and how it transformed a society in need of guidance. Tafseer will help you:

  • Understand the context – Know the background of each revelation.
  • See the bigger picture – Learn how rulings fit together in a divine system.
  • Gain psychological insights – Develop deeper self-awareness and emotional resilience.
  • Strengthen your faith – Find comfort, clarity, and a stronger connection with Allah.

Are you ready to transform your relationship with the Quran?

The Quran isn’t just meant to be read—it’s meant to be lived. It offers you comfort in times of uncertainty, elevates your status, and guides you to success in this life and the next.

Testimonials

Gezala Umar

As a non-Arabic speaker understanding the teachings in the Noble Quran has been one of the fundamental importance to me. I have been attending the courses delivered by Shaykh Haytham Tamim for over 20 years. Shaykh shares his knowledge, understanding and insight in the gentlest way, pace and clarity.

Aisha Hamid

I have been a tafseer student of Shaykh Haytham for 13 years, benefiting from his systematic and in-depth explanation of the Holy Qur’an - and his summary of the commentary of great scholars as well as contemporary scholars and connects them to our modern-day challenges, making the Quran’s timeless wisdom apparent to us in light of the individual, community, and global issues we face.

Zahda Saeed

I have been attending the Tafseer classes for over a decade and have found them to be very valuable for the understanding of the Quran. Shaykh Haytham explains each Surat clearly, supporting it with relevant Hadiths, why it was revealed and how we reflect and then apply it to our own lives in this day and age. Any questions are answered clearly. Most of all I value the very comprehensive notes sent to each member weekly. I strongly recommend these classes.

Jasmine Ansari

Shaykh Haytham's Quran tafseer series is important to me as it has been a source of comfort and increased my understanding of Islam. The series has helped me to cope better with the challenges that we face as Muslims, especially with the rise of Islamophobia in society.

Samia Ahmed

Attending the Utrujj classes for the last 25 years. They have been a life-changing experience for me. The explanations are clear and Shaykh’s words are so wise they always make me feel closer to my faith. I am very grateful to Allah SWT and Shaykh Haytham for this blessing.

In every class there are a few gems to be discovered! It is always uplifting and enlightening and I am so grateful for the blessing of having the verses of the Quran explained by Shaykh Haytham.

Madiha Sharaf

It has been such a beautiful journey to discover the depths of the Quran and marvel at Allah's divine words, from the style in which the Quran is written, to understanding the context of the revelation, and then being taught how to apply this in our practical life. Theses lessons strengthened my faith, uplifted me spiritually, and cemented my resolve to continue to strive for my goals. It is a privilege to be able to access this knowledge.

Nabiha Butt

Studying Tafseer in these classes has been an incredible and enriching experience. Shaykh Haytham takes his time to explain each verse in depth, ensuring that we understand the meaning and wisdom behind the words of Allah accurately. Nothing feels rushed—every session allows for deep reflection, making it easier to connect with the Quran on a personal level.

Isabelle Nicole

Since I joined Utrujj, I have taken the Tafseer and Hadith classes, and I have learnt so much! It has opened such a mine of knowledge to work through which I can process thanks to the superbly organised and talented manner in the teaching these talks are delivered. The Surahs are studied consecutively, rich in their detailed background. I hate missing a live session even though I can catch up later with the recordings. I can't thank the Utrujj Foundation or Shaykh Tamim enough for his undivided commitment to his flock.
