Making our children more familiar with Islamic teachings and their morals is one of the biggest concerns for us as Muslim parents, and it needs patience and effort to achieve that,
but one of the best ways to make them more related to Islam and the Quran is by telling them stories!
Most Muslims learn about Islam from stories when they are young, and every story in the Quran carries excellent lessons for us. You know that every child likes stories, especially at bedtime.
Telling stories can reach meaningful messages to your child’s mind, so start telling your children stories from Quran and do a discussion after each one to be sure that they have a clear understanding of them and their underlying messages.
