Tips for Parents:

• Don’t put your children under pressure for memorising Qur’an. This experience should be an enjoyable and fun experience for your little ones.
• Use some videos for helping your children in their Qur’an memorisation journey. You can find some of these videos HERE.
• Try to talk to your children about the meaning of the Surah they are memorising. This helps them to have a more lasting memorisation of the Surah. You can find several reliable translations of Qur’an in different languages at http://www.parsQur’an.com/
• Practice and Repeat are the keys in memorisation. And even when they memorised a Surah, they still need to practice and repeat to keep that memorised Surah.
• We kept the number of Surahs necessary for this competition as low as possible. The reason is that we wanted your children to have a smooth and enjoyable experience while attending this competition. This is just a starting window for them to look at their world from a Qur’anic perspective.
