alhamdulillah, thummalhamdulillah!

kids' ability to memorize amazes me! maryam, kid #2 memorized a surah within 5 days!Allahuakbar. well, it is not truly an achievement, but do consider that this is my first trial. plus, we didn't really do anything intensive. it was merely a 5-10 minutes reading per day, and sometimes the sessions don't even last that long. and on certain days, it is just me reciting the surah to her repeatedly, and her repeating it after me while she plays or does something else.


i started the same way i did with muzakkir. i recited the quran in front of her, and invited her to join in. i tested her on some surahs, to see how far she has memorized. i wanted her to continue from there, but she insisted on wanting to memorize ad-dhuha.

i agreed, and we went from there.

everytime we read, i would correct her mahkraj and tajwid, as she can already read with tartil, alhamdulillah. i try to make her start our sessions with alfatihah everytime, so that she can perfect the tajwid of that surah, in order to perform her daily prayers better. not that she prays much. oh my. that's another issue i have to try to tackle.
