Divinely Chosen Words: A Deep Dive into Quranic Expression

Every word was chosen. Now discover why

Divinely Chosen Words is a 9-week public course based on the book, Divine Speech, written by Nouman Ali Khan.

The course is designed for anyone who wants a richer, more meaningful relationship with the Book of Allah and offers a practical set of techniques to apply to the Quran. Whether you’re coming with no prior background or you’ve already dipped into Arabic grammar (naḥw and ṣarf), this course will open doors you didn’t know existed.

Benefits of the Course:
Develop a deeper connection with the Quran. Move beyond recitation and translation to genuinely engaging with what Allah is saying — and how He is saying it.

Understand why the Quran is linguistically miraculous. Discover the features of Quranic Arabic that have left the greatest poets and scholars of every generation in awe.

Build tools for lifelong Quranic study. Whether or not you continue with formal Arabic study, this course equips you with a framework for engaging the Quran more thoughtfully for the rest of your life.

See familiar verses in an entirely new light. Verses you have heard hundreds of times will take on new dimensions of meaning, beauty, and personal relevance.
