In today’s social media era, excessive use of phones, laptops, and computers makes it difficult for children to practice Islam properly, such as offering Namaz, reciting the Quran, and learning daily duas.

It is essential for parents to supervise and guide their children. Encourage them to perform Namaz, read Quran, and learn daily duas.

The easiest way to instill these habits is by leading by example. Children adopt what they observe. If we consistently practice Namaz and Quran recitation ourselves, they will naturally develop interest and love for these practices.

Teaching Norani Qaida To Kids

The first step in teaching children the Quran is Norani Qaida, which helps them learn correct pronunciation of each word.

Since the Quran is a collection of words, starting directly with it can be difficult for children. Norani Qaida was designed to make it easier for them to read words correctly, step by step.

Once they master the words, they can be gradually encouraged to recite the Quran with confidence.

Basic Prayer Training

In Islam, teaching Namaz comes first; once a child turns 7 years old, parents should start encouraging them to pray. Since young children may not understand and are still learning basic habits, it is essential for parents to guide them by taking them to the masjid during prayer times and praying with them at home, standing beside them. This instills a habit from childhood, which the child will carry into adulthood. Children should also be reminded daily about both prayers and Islamic teachings to ensure they grow up practicing their faith consistently.

• Take them to the masjid during prayer times.
• Pray with them at home, standing beside them.

Daily Duas For Children

Children should be taught daily life duas alongside Namaz from early childhood, such as prayers for morning, evening, meals, sleeping, and waking up. They should not be pressured to memorize everything at once; instead, teach one dua per day and review the previous day’s dua the next day. This helps children develop the habit of reciting duas naturally. At the same time, explain the virtues of each dua so they try to learn them happily, as a meaningful gift.

Islamic Teaching And Learning At Home

Raising children at home is one of the most important responsibilities. Along with teaching them duas, they should also learn daily manners and behaviors such as how to talk respectfully, how to listen to elders, and why these things matter. Children should be encouraged to engage in both Islamic and worldly good deeds, like giving charity, helping others, or removing harmful objects from the path. When parents practice these actions themselves, children naturally begin to follow them. It is also important to limit mobile usage in front of children, otherwise they will become attached to it and adopt the same habits.
