﷽
Somehow, someway, this blog has been around for three years. Since May 30th, 2020, Allah ﷻ has allowed me to post some aspect of Quranic organization every Friday, without break.
Last year, on the 2 year anniversary, I said,
In that time, we’ve seen some structuring of 57 out of 114 suwar (50% of the Quran!). In that same time span, this email list has grown to over 400 subscribers, all through word of mouth, and I pray that the next year sees a greater number of people sign up with the eventual release of the book.
So, the book is still not done :)
But, I have good news in that regard. If you recall, I began reposting all the old structures, but I rewrote them all as I want them for my book. So, while that number of 57/114 suwar hasn’t improved here on the blog, the book is almost done being written!
Please pray for Shaykh Mohammed Mana as he has been reading each of my posts carefully to ensure I don’t write something blasphemous or counter to orthodox understanding. Once he is done, I can get my Word docs transferred over to InDesign to finally get it ready for publishing.
Also, just because I haven’t been posting new structures here, doesn’t mean I’m not doing research in the background. Below is a list of suwar I have an entire structure for, but haven’t had a chance to publish yet. I’ve shared draft versions of most of these with the paid subscribers already:

Al-Ma'idah (The Table Spread)
Al-A'raf (The Elevated Places)

Al-Kahf (The Cave)
Saad (Saad)
Ad-Dhariyat (The Scatterers)
Al-Mujadilah (The Pleading Woman)
Al-Hashr (The Banishment)
At-Tur (The Mount)
An-Najm (The Star)
Al-Qamar (The Moon)
Al-Hadid (Iron)

And here is a list of suwar that are a work-in-progress. Some are near completion and others are just started:

This blog is now at 860+ email subscribers, mostly through organic growth. If someone knows a good blog/podcast I could share this with to improve my reach, please let me know.
People have asked me if they can post these articles on their own websites/blogs/social media, and the answer is, YES. My only request is that you give credit and link them back to this newsletter so that the interested reader may sign up and benefit from future and past posts. Feel free to reply to this post if you have specific questions.
That’s all I got for now. Please pray for the continued success of this project. So long as we don’t stop reflecting on the Quran, the discoveries will never end :)
Check out any posts you missed at the table of contents! And maybe subscribe if you haven’t already ;)
May Allah ﷻ bless you all.
