When Allah blesses me with kids of my own, I’ll make it my biggest mandate Insha Allah, to teach them the Qur’an myself, coz it hurts me seeing how some unprofessional Malams have ruined the Qira’ah of so many kids.. mostly coz it’s all about business to them; kids go home to -
- recite a few Surahs offhand fancifully, and the naive (nonchalant) parents applaud and pump more money into their pockets.
These Malams exaggerate the kids’ progression & Hifz, but when you sit the same kid down and tell him to show you where in the Qur’an he’s reciting from -
These Malams exaggerate the kids’ progression & Hifz, but when you sit the same kid down and tell him to show you where in the Qur’an he’s reciting from -
- you see that he has absolutely no idea.. just a robotic recitation, with gross mispronunciation of Huroof and without basic Tajweed. The kids also cannot spell & form the Qur’anic vocabularies.. all they do is lip-synching the Malam, word for word.. that’s how they ‘progress’ -
- This hurts even more when you realize that it’s harder to fix a student’s ruined Qira’ah than it is to teach fresh students.. (coz changing the method by which anything was first introduced & learned is a really tedious task). -
- The most deceptive ones are those that’ll tell you that your child will become a Haafiz in 6months, accompanied with the painful fact that most PARENTS DO NOT ASSESS THEIR CHILDRENS’ ISLAMIYYAH LESSONS (either coz they’re not learned in it themselves or they dispassionately -
- don’t deem it of pressing concern like their precious Maths & English Homework), so they just let themselves be gullible, and dish out serious money to the wishy-washy Islamiyyah, then sit back waiting for magic (in the guise & mutual deception that the child is some genius) -
- then they go ahead and celebrate the kid with a grandiose Waleemah, calling him the youngest “Allaramma”, when the kid can barely read past “Sabbi”.
Sad!
Sad!
If you don’t believe in what I said in this thread, use this free time to properly assess the Qur’anic recitations of the young ones, you’ll see for yourself.
