It is the dream of every Muslim parent that his or her child memorise the Qur’an. However, as time passes from one generation to the next, it seems to become harder. Where do we begin? What do we do? What can we expect along the way? What’s the best way to encourage our children to memorise the Qur’an?
Both my wife and I were fortunate enough to memorise the Qur’an as children. I was 13 and she was 9. After the grace of Allah, it was our parents and their sheer dedication and discipline that saw us to the end. this combination is, no doubt, a story repeated all over the world, throughout the ages, numerous times.
As parents, we have now started that journey with our own children. Alḥamdulillāh, our eldest daughter finished memorising the Qur’an aged 8; she was ecstatic that she beat her mother’s record. Our second child completed the Qur’an aged 10, the third aged 9 and the youngest has also started. Having made the transition from students who memorised the Qur’an, spent some time as teachers and now playing the role of parents, we understand how different each role is in this triangle.
We are fortunate having been through the process ourselves to be able to guide and use our experiences to help our children. However, many parents who share our dream and vision don’t necessarily have the benefit of that experience or expertise. For many of them, it can be a lonely and often difficult journey. This book was written as a parent’s guide, full of ideas, advice and real-life experiences.
It is my hope and prayer that we are able to connect our children to the Qur’an, not only in memorisation, but also reading, understanding, contemplation and application. To start this journey means, in shā Allah, that you will begin a cycle that will repeat itself from generation to generation with much of that reward coming back to you.
This does not mean it is easy, but then rarely in life are monumental achievements easy. However, with the right mindset, clarity of direction, good practical advice and much du‘ā’ and trust in Allah, all of our children can memorise the Qur’an and foster a deep and important relationship with this miraculous Book.
