What's the point of having children memorize the Quran when they don't even understand the importance?

00:00:09--> 00:00:52

We teach our children many things that they don't necessarily understand fully, or they understand the significance of, but we teach them those things. Why? Because in sha Allah when they're older, it'll be easier for them to excel in those matters. When it comes to language development, remember that there is a sensitive period of learning, which is from zero to 60 years of age, which means that in order to develop fluency later in life in a certain language, children must be listening to that particular language and also speaking that language. So just like that, if we want our children to have fluency in the Quran, in its recitation, in its comprehension, then we have to start early

And something that is helpful is memorizing short sutras of the Quran. And unfortunately, we underestimate children, children, if they're taught what the Quran is, if they're taught the reward of memorizing the Quran of reciting the Quran, they would really enjoy this process.

Likewise, we learn that whoever places the Quran in front of them, then the Quran will lead them to gender. So when we help our children memorize the Quran from a young age, we give them the opportunity to have the Quran in front of them. I mean, we expose them to so many things, we teach them the most random things also, why not teach them the Quran, the Book of Allah for which they will get reward also, and it will also help them develop this identity or this trunk connection with
