Don’t we all wish to see our children opening and reciting the Quran without us asking them to do so? Won’t it make you pleased to see your son or daughter pondering over the Quran and acting upon it? Don’t you wish for them to be eager and excited about it?
The Quran is our ultimate guide to the eternal gardens of pleasure, happiness and success. When we give our hand into its hand and allow it to direct us, we experience closeness to Allah and the sweetness of faith. As parents, we want the best for our children. And when we realize the importance of Quran, we want them to be connected to their perfect guide as well.
This email and the following 3 emails will contain tips and steps on how we can materialize this desire and raise children who are in love with the Quran.
1- Immerse yourself in the Quran
You are the parent and everything begins with you. Be very honest and ask yourself this question: How is my relationship with the Quran? Children don’t listen; they imitate. If they see you picking up the Quran a few times a day, they’ll know it is something important. But if they seldom or never ever see you engaged with the Quran they are not likely to obey you.
