WHAT TO EXPECT IN THIS YEAR’S LESSONS
This workbook and this year’s Ramadhaan 1446 (2025) classes will be a study of the amazing 32nd chapter of the Quran, Soorah as-Sajdah. Following the previous years’ precedent, we will maintain a similar focus and scope throughout the lessons and workbook this year, in shaa’ Allah, with 30 Tafseer lessons in total.
- MORE FOCUS ON AL-IMAM AS-SA’DEE
Our focused study of only one book of Tafseer allows us to zoom in a little more than we normally would, getting more of a feel for the style and methodology of the amazing explanation of the great scholar, al-Imam ‘Abdur-Rahmaan ibn Naasir as-Sa’dee (may Allah have Mercy on him).
- LIVE DAILY BROADCASTS
As you expect from us, we provide live daily classes (locally and online) throughout the month of Ramadhaan, in shaa’ Allah, broadcast right from our beloved masjid in Pittsburgh, the First Muslim Mosque, in shaa’ Allah. The high-quality MP3 recordings of our live classes remain available for those who could not attend, to listen in whenever that is easy. (Check out the easy visual guide on page 9, and on the back cover.)
- CONSOLIDATION ACTIVITIES AND A FINAL EXAM
Following last year’s precedent, this year’s workbook also includes quizzes (as consolidation activities) and a final exam. After each set of lessons, you will have an opportunity to review and evaluate your understanding of those classes with a unique consolidation activity, in shaa’ Allah. Additionally, a 25-question comprehensive final exam is available.
- A PERSONAL PROGRESS TRACKER
To help you manage all these resources and stay on track throughout the month, our uniquely designed Personal Progress Tracker provides more structure to your study. With it, you can track your daily progress and weekly quiz scores, in shaa’ Allah. Adding in your final exam score after you review the month’s lessons, you will get a total score out of 100 points. This helpful tool is found on page 12 of this workbook.
SOME OF THE MAIN THEMES OF SOORAH AS-SAJDAH
One of the central topics of Soorah as-Sajdah most relevant to the month of Ramadhaan is the aayaat of Allah and how they are to be interacted with. See: Verses 2-3, 15, and 22-24. Most specifically, faithful believers are praised in these aayaat for their worship in the night, as they prefer standing in prayer and supplicating to Allah over comfort and rest in Verses 15-16. May Allah give us success in standing in the nights of Ramadhaan with sincerity and accept it from us.
Common to the verses revealed early in the Makkah period are the following recurring themes:
- Resurrection after death (Verses 10-12 and 27)
- The Day of Judgment (Verses 11-12, 13-14, 21, 25, and 28-29)
- Paradise (Verses 17 and 19)
- Hell (Verses 13 and 20-21)
Soorah as-Sajdah is also rich in dialogue. We observe the Lord of the creation citing the disbelievers and responding to their claims, concerns, and questions in four unique interactions. See: Verses 3, 10-11, 12-13, and 28-29.
These and many other intriguing and engaging topics make the study of this soorah -if Allah so wills- an absolutely incredible and life-changing experience. May Allah grant us understanding of His Majestic Book and sincere implementation of its uplifting guidance, and may He make us the first of those who submit and implement what they call to.

As Salaamu Alaikum
Please make the books available on Amazon in Saudi Arabia.
I’ve followed along since the very first book MashaAllah and have now made hijrah (may Allah azza wa jal accept it. Ameen) but I can’t get the books here subhanAllah
Pdf doesn’t work as I’m easily distracted by my phone Authubillah. Physical books are a must for me
Wa ‘alaykum as-Salaamu wa rahmatullaah wa barakaatuh. You can order paperback and hardcover editions from amazon.co.uk or other countries’ Amazon sites.
Jazak’Allah khair, I asked prior to purchasing the e-book and didn’t realise that this information would be included within in.
No problem; may Allah bless you and grant you success!
