The Ethics and Policy of QB40

Class Etiquette

Qur’an-Alone Sunday Study Group establishes a framework of sincerity, humility, and evidence-based reflection devoted entirely to Allah and the Qur’an. Every participant approaches the discussion as a seeker rather than an authority, with all interpretations grounded strictly in the Qur’an through language, context, and internal consistency, excluding Hadith or sectarian sources.

Speech must stem from sincerity, guided by Qur’an 16:125 and 39:18, aiming for understanding rather than argument. Each member speaks without interruption, with attentive listening and pauses for reflection, while any contradiction must be followed by the right of response to preserve fairness. All reasoning must be supported by Qur’anic citation, linguistic analysis, contextual study, logic, and concordance-based evidence.

Equality governs all voices—no hierarchy or reputation grants interpretive weight.

Disagreements are handled through mutual summarization, written reflection, and deferred judgment until further study, allowing coexistence of perspectives rooted in Qur’anic ethics and monotheism.

Conduct remains calm, respectful, and free from mockery or ridicule, maintaining confidentiality and unity as commanded in 3:103.

Sessions are orderly, free from distractions, and end with gratitude and prayer. True growth, as taught in 25:63, comes through humility—refining understanding without fracturing fellowship.
