It has influenced Quranic scholarship for centuries and has been extensively quoted even by scholars who rejected aspects of al-Zamakhshari's theology. The course offers a close textual study of selected chapters and verses, exploring how grammar, morphology and rhetoric shape meaning, where al-Zamakhshari's arguments are compelling, and where alternative readings may be stronger. Students are expected to read the assigned text in advance, allowing class time to focus on difficult passages, linguistic subtleties and key interpretive questions. This is an ongoing course and is suitable for students at an advanced level of Islamic studies. Registration is now open.

Alhamdulillah, this Sunday we gathered at Al Salam Institute in Oxford for our Musalsalat Reading Session, where students joined both in person and online to hear a number of musalsal narrations from Shaykh Akram. Among them was the Musalsal bi al-Musafahah, in which Anas ibn Malik رضي الله عنه said: "With this hand of mine I shook the hand of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I never touched silk or fine brocade that was softer than his hand." Abu Hurmuz, a student of Anas رضي الله عنه, said to him, "Shake my hand with the hand that shook the hand of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ," so Anas shook his hand. Thereafter, the students of Abu Hurmuz would ask him, "Shake my hand with the hand that shook the hand of Anas," and so this narration continued from generation to generation until it reached us. Beyond illustrating the care with which the Sunnah was transmitted, Allah has honoured us by allowing us to hear the words of His Prophet ﷺ and to shake the hands of our teachers, whose hands were shaken by their teachers, generation after generation, until they reached those who shook the blessed hand of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. May Allah preserve and bless our scholars and teachers, and grant us the honour of learning, living, and conveying the Sunnah of His Messenger ﷺ. Amin.
