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)

TOPIC 1: INTRODUCTION AND TERMINOLOGY:
Quran as a Gift:
(Introduce the Quran as a gift from Allah. Show the children a Quran wrapped up as
a gift. Ask the children what they think is inside it. Tell them it is something precious
and a gift they can keep for life. Open it and show them what the whole Quran looks
like, what the Arabic is like, how it is read etc.)
Ramadhan has just gone; this was the month the Quran was revealed. What
presents did you get on Eid? Allahs present to you is the Quran.
What is the Holy Qur'an?
It is a book that contains the words of Allah.
Who wrote the Holy Qur'an?
It was not written by anyone; Allah sent down the words to the Holy Prophet (S)
through the Angel Jibrail over a period of about 23 years
The Holy Prophet (S) then recited the verses to the people. Most of the people would
remember the verses by heart but the Holy Prophet (S) chose some special people
called scribes to write down the verses.

Arabic is read from right to left and back to front.
