Raising children on the Qur’an
Raising a child on the Qur’an in a righteous environment is one of the greatest deeds by which a slave draws closer to his Lord, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “If he dies, his work is interrupted except for three things: ongoing charity, knowledge that benefits him, and a righteous child who calls for him.”
Parents were keen to teach their children to memorize the Holy Qur’an at an early age as evidence of goodness, blessing and righteousness, and to raise them on what benefits them and to be close to God and discipline them with Sharia literature, a trust in the necks of parents.

How do I love my little one in the Quran?
One mother of a 5-month-old baby says, how can I get him used to the Qur’an and love him in it and at what age can he start memorizing the Qur’an?
We say may Allah reward you for your keenness to make your little one’s heart full of the Qur’an and faith, and the Qur’an does not have a specific age, it is possible to start with the child while he is a fetus before he is born.
Hearing the Qur’an by a pregnant mother affects and is affected by her fetus and is associated with this sound and memorize it faster than others.
The Qur’an can also be played in the voice of a well-versed reciter such as Sheikh Al-Husari and recited to the child’s ears.
As well as reading the Qur’an in front of the child all the time.
When he is four or five years old, he can be attached to one of the Holy Quran memorization houses.
