You’ll be surprised as to how many parents ask us why we are teaching hadeeth and tareekh and aqaiid and fiqh etc…why don’t we just focus on reading the Quran… “aur sab toh seekh hi laingey…kya faida?” On the other hand, the little kids love and enjoy their lessons on varied subjects.

yep, been there too. the first half of Islamic school is learning to read quran and to memorize surahs from Juz Amma. the other half is about Islamic teachings. A lot of parents think that they shoudl just finish the entire quran and thats it. but its not. what is reading goign to do if they dont: A. understand what it means B. understand what the qur’an is about and C. learn some surahs which they could use in their salahs. When i was little I read the entire qur’an a couple of times, but honestly took nothing from it, and still would use the two shortest surahs in my salah.

At the end of class, I pick one student to come do a dua for the class…he’s what they say, “O Allah thank you for bringing us to the masjid to learn the Quran and learn how to be good muslims. O Allah please make sure I keep coming. Rabbi zidna ilma.”

that’s a good dua. We make the students read Al-Asr, and the last 3 Quls.
