Talk about it at home
For the dinner table
Ramadan is coming, and it is especially the month of the Qur'an. The khateeb reminded us that reciting, understanding, and living by the Qur'an all grow from loving it. He encouraged parents to help children love the Qur'an rather than treating memorization as pressure alone. We can ask Allah for that love, study meanings and tafsir, and join Qur'an gatherings together.
