Who are we?
Brief reflection
Do you want your kids to love the Qur’an? Do you want them to look forward to attending Qur’an classes? Children have series of challenging views with regards to engaging in learning that suits their nature in preparation for their adulthood.
As children, they want to love the Qur’an, they want to read it, but they have a psychological barrier they cannot surmount because for them, the Qur’an reminds them of being yelled at, being forced to sit in a corner and memorize words they never understood.
Mean teachers who never smiled, parents who were angry because they did not memorize well enough, and never any fun.
Yes, we must teach our children how to respect the Qur’an, but respect does not necessitate solemn experiences. We want our children to LOVE the Qur’an; we want them to grown into adults who find the Qur’an to be their best friends. To help develop that relationship, sometimes the best way for children to find the Qur’an meaningful is to build a relationship with it as they build relationships with friends.
Through play, games and activities, children develop bonds with one another; why not allow them to experience the same fun and exciting friendship with the Qur’an
