The story of memorizing Quran for children
When Cady was 3 years old or younger, her mother wanted to take the advantage of spending a long time together at home, so they decided to memorize Holy Quran.
Cady could speak well, repeat words behind her mother and memorize, so the child could start memorizing as soon as he could speak.
The mother always read Quran in front of her child, which made this task very easy, and she offered it.
Mother: What do you think, Cady, if we memorize Quran together?
Cady: Of course, Mom, I agree and I’m very excited about that.
Mother: Wonderful my dear child, everyone will be happy with you and I will be proud of you.
Cady: Let’s memorize now I’m excited about it.
Mom: Okay but first we will draw the heart of Cady.
Cady: What’s Cady’s heart, Mom, I don’t understand.
Mother: We will start by memorizing Surat Al-Fatihah and short surahs from Juz Amma, then we will draw a heart that we call (the heart of Cady),divide it and write on it the names of all the surahs.
Cady happily: So cool let’s do it.
Mother: Every surah you memorize we will color it until we color the whole heart.
Cady: That’s a great idea, you encouraged me and excited me a lot.
