Between work, children and the home, many sisters keep postponing learning the Quran. Yet with simple organisation and suitable lessons, steady progress is possible. Here are practical tips for women learning the Quran with a busy schedule.

Find the right time slot

  • Early in the morning, before the house wakes up.
  • During the children’s nap or school hours.
  • In the evening, after the children go to bed.

A 30-minute lesson two or three times a week, at a fixed time, is better than long, irregular sessions. See also the best time to memorize the Quran.

A setting that puts you at ease

  • A female teacher: sisters study with female teachers only.
  • Camera optional: you can follow the lesson with audio only.
  • Lessons at home, with no travel and no childcare to arrange.

Involve the family

  • Recite what you learn in front of your children: it is a living example.
  • Enrol the children at the same time, each with their own teacher.
  • Revise during daily chores by listening to the day’s portion.
