Tips for parents
Learning Al-Ikhlas with your child
A verse a day
Four short verses: learn one a day and recite the whole surah together at the end of the week.
Talk about the meaning
Ask your child: what does it mean that Allah is One? Short, simple answers are enough.
Listen, then repeat
Let your child listen to each verse and repeat it back, a little at a time.
Make it part of the day
Recite it together at bedtime or after prayer, so it becomes familiar.
