‘Uloom al-Qur’an refers to the bodies of knowledge related to the Qur’an, sometimes referred to as the Qur’anic Sciences. Although the primary focus on the Tulayhah website has been translating excerpts from the works of tafsir written or recommended by the salafi scholars, in order to better support and complement this content we also work to translate and publish articles dealing with other related branches of the Qur’anic sciences. This page is an effort to organize those articles and make them more easily accessible to our readers. We have organized them into the following categories:
