How we teach it
- Starting young (3–7)
- Short surahs through listening and repetition. No tajweed rules yet — just beautiful recitation as a model. The child absorbs the sounds. An-Nas, Al-Falaq, Al-Ikhlas, Al-Masad, An-Nasr come first.
- Building (8–10)
- Longer surahs (Ad-Duha to Al-Balad). Tajweed rules introduced gradually. Daily review of previously memorised content is the key to retention. The Quran Memorization Log tracks this cycle.
- Consolidation (11+)
- Full juz or more. Independent review by the child. Tafsir of the surahs they have memorised. Connection between Quran and daily life.
- The review cycle
- Ayahs memorised today are reviewed tomorrow, next week, next month, and next quarter. Without this cycle, memorisation fades. Our Quran Memorization Log has built-in review columns.
- Resources we recommend
- A slow, clear teaching recitation (ayah by ayah, with repetition) is best for young children. For tajweed, we use the resources recommended by Markaz Ibn Al-Qayyim.
- Our rule
- Consistency over intensity. 5 minutes every day is better than 30 minutes once a week. The Quran Memorization Log works with any pace.
