The role of parents is crucial in helping children develop a strong and loving bond with the Qur’an. We need to encourage our kids to understand the Quran for that teaching them the Arabic language is also essential. It is the most important book which should be understood by us.
Start even before our children are born, our own practice will be reflected in our kids.
“This is the Book about which there is no doubt, a guidance for those conscious of Allah.” (Surah Al Baqarah 2:2)
We can play the audio recitation of the Qur’an around our kids a few minutes at a time.
Just tell kids enough to capture their attention and interest. Things should be told in the way that should grab their attention and interest level should be increased, most of us just making our kids scared of Allah but tell them very less that how much Allah loves us, style of delivering should be age appropriate to make it easy for children to understand.
“We relate to you, [O Muhammad], the best of stories in what We have revealed to you of this Qur’an although you were, before it, among the unaware.” (Surah Yusuf 12:3)
Allah  tells us quite a few stories in the Qur’an, and each story comes with a lesson and/or an inspiration.
We must avoid forcing our kids, interest can be developed gradually our daily practice can be a great motivation for our kids, so we should try to recite Quran in front of our kids.
“Those who have believed and whose hearts are assured by the remembrance of Allah. Unquestionably, by the remembrance of Allah’s hearts are assured.” Surah Ar-Ra’d 13:28
Make it a habit to explain to kids the virtues of the Qur’an such as healing and good deeds. We must avoid giving them some tangible gifts or make it rare, they should learn the importance of the gifts from Allah.
“And We send down of the Qur’an that which is healing and mercy for the believers…” Surah Al Isra’ 17:82
We can do some activities with the family or friends and can come up with appropriate games based on facts from the Qur’an.
At night, Islamic stories should be told to our kids rather than frictional stories.
Our kids should learn to trust Allah.
