INTRODUCTION TO CLASS 1 4 QURAN:
Teaching a child to read Arabic is a blessing and an honour, as you are equipping
them with the ability to read the Holy Quran. HADITH about everything in existence
prays for the forgiveness of the person who teaches the Quran, even the fish in the
sea. With this weighty task in front of us, it is important to keep in mind that all
success is from Allah.
We are now introducing recitation of Quran for the younger children, in the hope of
bringing all our children to one level of recitation.
For those children who are in the process of learning how to recite Quran, a
separate Quran Manual will also be given.
For those children who are already reciting Quran, some rules included in this
Manual will be taught to them to improve their recitation further.
All children will do the Tafsir and Az Zahra part of the syllabus.
Recite the Holy Quran and Memorise it. Allah will not punish the
heart in which the Quran has been placed.
(Imam Jafar As Sadiq (A)
