25 Ways to Connect Your Child to the Quran

21. Provide Simplified Arabic Dictionaries (For Children Aged 10 and Above)
This helps enrich and answer vocabulary questions for both the mother and the child. Examples include Al-Mukhtar al-Sihah and Al-Mufradat by Al-Asfahani, among others.

22. Provide Them with Easy-to-Understand Tafsir Books (Books, Tapes, Discs)
The interpretation of the Qur’an should be accessible and simple, like Al-Mu’een Tafsir or a tape of Juz’ Amma with tafsir. The approach should be to start with the Qur’an itself, followed by vocabulary and dictionaries, and then move to tafsir books. This method ensures that the child directly engages with the Qur’an rather than relying solely on the opinions and disagreements of interpreters.

23. Connect Them with Scholars of Knowledge
Having the child spend time with scholars breaks the barrier of fear and shyness, allowing the child to ask questions and engage in discussions on their own. This way, the child benefits and learns. Many great scholars emerged through this approach.

24. Link the School Curriculum with the Qur’an
Mothers and teachers should connect different academic subjects with the Qur’an. For example, relate mathematics to verses about inheritance and zakat, connect biology with relevant Qur’anic verses, and apply this method to other subjects as well.

25. Link Daily Vocabulary and Events with the Qur’an
If the child indulges in excess, remind them of the verses prohibiting extravagance. If they do anything that contradicts the teachings of the Qur’an, remind them of the guidance and stories in the Qur’an that clarify the rulings on such actions.

How to Benefit from These Ideas:

  1. Write down all the ideas on a single page.

  2. Categorize them based on their ease of implementation and practicality, and continue with them.

  3. Stick to three ideas at first, then evaluate the child and share the approach with others to spread the benefit.

  4. Rotate through different ideas as the child’s level progresses.
