25 Ways to Connect Your Child to the Quran
Undoubtedly, one of the key factors in raising a child with an Islamic and Quranic upbringing is the family environment and the surrounding atmosphere in which the child grows. The mother, in particular, plays a significant role due to her closeness to the child, as she has nurtured and cared for him since he was a fetus in her womb. Therefore, it is essential to address the believing mother with some guidelines and advice to achieve this noble and sacred goal:
-
Listen to the Quran While Pregnant
The fetus is psychologically and spiritually affected by the mother’s condition and what surrounds her during pregnancy. If a pregnant woman consistently listens to the Quran, she will feel psychological comfort, which will positively affect the fetus. The Quran has a spiritual impact on its listeners, and this effect extends even to those who do not know Arabic, let alone those who are proficient in it.
Your psychological comfort while listening to the Quran = the comfort of the fetus itself.
Even if the listening time is relatively short, it will affect both you and the fetus throughout the day. -
Listen to the Quran While a Baby
It is scientifically established that infants are affected by and absorb what is around them. The sense of hearing starts working, although adults can control their hearing and recall what they have stored. An infant, however, stores information and vocabulary but cannot retrieve or use it during the nursing period. However, after the nursing phase, they can. Therefore, listening to the Quran daily for 5-10 minutes (5 minutes in the morning and another 5 minutes in the evening) increases the infant’s stored vocabulary, making it easier for them to recall and even memorize the Quran later on. -
Read the Quran in Front of Them (Imitation Instinct)
This idea nurtures the child’s love for imitation. Reading the Quran in front of them, or with them, motivates and makes the child fond of the Quran, unlike if you just instruct them to do so without them seeing you. The process is even more complete if both parents read together with their children, even if only for a short period. -
Gift Them a Personal Quran (Ownership Instinct)
Giving your child their own Quran resonates with their natural love for ownership. Just as this instinct is clearly visible in their relationship with toys, it also applies to what you gift them. Make them feel connected to their Quran, so they read and flip through it whenever they wish. -
Make the Day They Complete the Quran a Celebration (Conditioned Connection)
This idea connects the child to the Quran by associating it with something they love, which only happens when they complete a specific part of the Quran. Have a small celebration for the child, offering them a simple gift as a reward for keeping their commitment. This idea motivates the student and encourages others to finish what they have agreed to accomplish.
