Arabic Through the Qur'an
An 11 month immersive journey into the language of revelation.
Move beyond translation. Learn to recognise the roots, patterns, and structure of Qur'anic Arabic - and experience the depth of the Qur'an as it was revealed.


You've read the translations.
You've listened to tafsir.
You've felt the beauty of the Qur'an.
But deep down there is a distance.
A quiet awareness that the language of revelation holds layers you cannot yet access.
Arabic is not just vocabulary.
It is roots. Patterns. Precision.
Without understanding its structure, the depth remains veiled.
You will begin seeing the Qur'an as a coherent, interconnected linguistic miracle.



I find Ustadah Ola a remarkable teacher. Her teaching methods are not traditional lecturing. The way she engages students with such complex concepts is mind blowing.

This course was the highlight of my week- to engage with live sessions and step by step, see how the linguistics of Qur'anic Arabic works and how this manifests in layers of meaning - truly amazing!

Almost immediately I noticed a difference in my Salah, finally understanding the words I had been uttering for years. Every supplication recited throughout the day was given a deeper meaning.


"Aut dicta commodi nostrum quidem delectus molestiae ad et ex odit."

This is not generic Arabic. It is Arabic through the lens of revelation.

How The Course Works

Your Guide in this Journey
Arabic Through the Qur’an is taught by Ustadha Ola Shoubaki, founder of Arabic Gems Institute.
With a BA in Arabic from SOAS and a Master’s degree in Arabic Linguistics from the International Islamic University of Malaysia, she specialised in the science of Ishtiqaaq (Arabic etymology) — with particular focus on its role in uncovering the deeper meanings of the Qur’an and its usage in classical tafsir.
Since 2007, she has dedicated her work to guiding English-speaking students beyond translation and into the structure, roots, and linguistic precision of Qur’anic Arabic itself.
Her teaching style is clear, structured, and deeply rooted in the classical sciences — while remaining accessible to those without prior formal study. Over the years, hundreds of students have studied with her to build lasting foundations in the language of revelation.
This course reflects over two decades of refinement, research, and lived experience in teaching Qur’anic Arabic in a way that is both rigorous and transformative.
