[…] New Best Friend It was around 10am when my six-year-old first grader said, “Teacher! I want to recite Surat al-Mulk in front of the class!” Surat al-Mulk is title that refers to a chapter from the Quran; surah means chapter; al-Mulk means dominion. “Insha’Allah (God willing) at story time,” I promised.

Salaam alaikum,

I loved this article, thank you for sharing and may Allah give us all the same enthusiasm as this little girl for the Quran and insha Allah may her connection with the Quran be as strong or even stronger throughout her life.

My websites to share are:
http://quran.com/
I like this one because the web address so easy to remember

http://bayyinah.com/media/
I’m sure many of us are familiar with Br. Nouman Ali Khan from the Bayyinah institute. He does literary tafsir of the Quran is has almost completed Juz Ama. It’s available here for free. Also free via iTunes podcasts. Can’t think of anything better to listen to on a long road trip. Excellent in helping to deepen one’s understanding of the Quran esp the surahs we read often.

http://www.mp3quran.net/eng/
Download the Quran by different reciters in mp3 format. All free.

Lastly, if you have a smart phone don’t forget to look for Quran related apps. For example, if you have an iPhone check out http://batoulapps.com/

Jazak Allahu Khair to all the brothers and sisters who work on these sites.

Masha’Allah, la Quta illa bi Allah. What a wonderful article. Let me share my brothers and sisters the Qur’anic verese which have crowded in my mind while going throuhg this article:
“And those who say, “Our Lord, grant us from among our wives and offspring comfort to our eyes and make us an example for the righteous.” [Qur’an 25:74].
” so recite what is easy [for you] of the Qur’an. He has known that there will be among you those who are ill and others traveling throughout the land seeking [something] of the bounty of Allah and others fighting for the cause of Allah . So recite what is easy from it ” [Qur’an 73:20].
These are among the dearest verses i live with.
Yes, we live with and for the Qur’an.
May Allah guide us all to read, understand, apply and live with the Qur’an. Ameen.

As Salamu Alaikum, I have found that what really helps in developing that close connection with the Quran is when you know the meaning of what is being recited. Unfortuantely most translations do not do justice to the original meanings. But here is one website that does give some in depth meaning of some surahs... Quran-Tafsir.org

SubhanAllahi wa bi hamdihi. Children are born on the fitrah and this is a special special child May Allah bless her. We owe to ourselves and to the Quran to embrace it- sometimes we fall in ghaflah- JazakAllah for the reminder. I just read it to my first grader and am going to ask my children to work on memorizing this Surah over summer break inshaAllah -pray for us.
Anas (radiAllahu anhu) reported Rasulullah (sallallahu alaiyhi wasalam) as saying, “There is a Surah which will plead for its reciter till it causes him to enter paradise (Tabarakalladhi Biyadihil Mulk).”[Tabrani]”

JazakAllah Khair for sharing this with us. I couldn’t have read this at a better time, it has given me a much needed boost. MashAllah, the young girls excitement for Surah Mulk was very inspiring.
