The problem is getting a Quran teacher to teach Quran to beginners; we see the mother’s lap is the child’s first school. Being Muslim parents, as our children grow up, we worry about how to teach Quran.
Just as we are worried about their practical education, we send them to school and set up tuition for them; in the same manner, we must be highly concerned about how to teach Quran to kids.
Parents, especially mothers, are responsible for a child’s grooming and teachings, so this response is primarily your duty.
Feeling the weight of responsibility on our shoulders, we come across many questions regarding how to teach Quran to kids. For example, how to start teaching your child Quran, what is the right age to teach Quran, how would the startup be taken, and which method of Quran was learning to choose.
Where would your child go to the mosque, a tutor come home to teach Quran, and you would learn the Quran or some online Quran learning?
Right Age to teach Quran to Kids:
Let’s begin from the very starting point, and the very first question arises” when to start or what is the right age to teach Quran to your child and by what age they have finished.”
A definite answer to that question is that there is no clear-cut age boundary to start with and end. It is thought that 4-5 years is ideal to teach Quran to kids.
But some mothers keep on reciting while pregnant and breastfeeding with the hope this will impact their children. You can begin at an age even more petite than four years, depending on the abilities and interests of your child.
My younger brother had his surah Fatiha memorized by age less than three though he couldn’t even recognize alphabets. Keep in mind; that every child has its pace of learning, do not compare them with others ( your cousin or neighbor had finished the Quran at the age of 7, and you still haven’t been nine years old).
It doesn’t mean you give them a free hand to keep delaying their daily sessions, but the point is that such an attitude can demotivate your child.
Tips To Teach Quran For Kids:
In the following text, we will present you with some of the tips for the Quran to kids. These little points would help you significantly teach Quran to children.
- Set yourself as a role model or an example in front of the child to follow you. Recite Quran daily, and ensure your kids are around you when quoting the holy book.
- Recite Quran in a loud and catching tone; this would attract them to what you are reading.
- Try to make the start of the day of your kid “recitation of Quran.” Develop a habit of reciting the Quran after Fajr. So that when your child opens their eyes in the morning, the very first sound entering his ear is of Quran.
- Tell them stories of the Quran. Your bedtime story can be anyone described in the Quran. And do give them the reference of the story as the Quran. Urge them to look up the Quran themselves. Keep on telling them about the reward of Quran recitation.
- Keep telling them about the reward of Quran recitation, e.g., it makes Allah happy, Prophet (s.a.w) said that it is best of learning, etc.
The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said,
خَيْرُكُمْ مَنْ تَعَلَّمَ الْقُرْآنَ وَعَلَّمَهُ
“The best of you are those who learn and teach the Qur’an. ~ (Bukhari Vol 6 – 61:545)
Tips to Boost After Starting Quran for Kids:
These were the tips to boost your child to start learning the Quran. If your child has begun learning the Quran, the following tips will help you immensely.
1) Keep it simple at the outset. Don’t force your child to spend much time learning the Quran. Let him do it at his comfort level. For example, 10 minutes of dedicated and happy learning would be much better than an hour of learning by force, against your child’s will.
2) Let them know something extraordinary will follow Quran time, like a good story or playtime with mom.
3) Set goals and rewards for achieving a goal. E.g. You will buy your child a remote control car if they finish a chapter of the Quran in a specified time.
4) Play Quran softly in the home during playtime, morning, and end-of-night routines. Turn off the TV
5) Recite short Quran surahs in the car on the way to school, shopping, etc.
6) Keep the mood loving during the learning process. Give your child lots of hugs and cuddles.
7) Don’t punish them hard, or do not get tired of repeated mistakes of your baby while learning the Quran. Be patient. Every child has their own pace of work.
8) You can encourage healthy competition between your kids, e.g., “who finishes his/ her lesson first will be given a surprise gift.”
9) Aim to do two short Quran sessions a day. Like one after Fajar and one before Asar prayer. This way, if you miss one, you won’t feel bad.
10) Keep interaction with the tutor ( if you choose to have a home tutor or online tutor for Quran learning). Discuss the progress of your child with the teacher regularly.

@leila
for very beginning try to memorize your students short surahs, mean while make them understand arabic test. After they start recognizing words and are able to read them by joining, then start from chapter 1.
@Leila Neisani
you may teach them the translation of stories from Quran. Naturally, kids listen to stories with attention. It will be a nice way of creating love of Allah and his prophets in the hearts of kids
