Tips for parents

Learning it with your child

Before reading

Say it together each time you open the Quran, not only in prayer.

Two sentences

Learn the A'udhu part first, then the Bismillah.

Bismillah every day

Say Bismillah before eating, leaving the house or starting homework, so it becomes a habit.

In the app
