|  | |  | Consistency is Key When Learning the Quran By Wendy Díaz A common concern for many Muslim parents is how to help their children build a strong, lasting relationship with the Quran. For most, the goal is not limited to memorization. It is about raising children who love the Quran, live by its teachings, and carry its light into every aspect of their lives. We know that a child who grows up connected to the Quran is more likely to remain grounded in their faith, especially in today’s turbulent world. The Quran offers guidance for every stage of life, serving as a roadmap to help us fulfill our purpose and reach our ultimate destination: Paradise. And beyond the spiritual and emotional benefits, memorizing the Book of Allah comes with immense rewards that are multiplied when it is done with sincere intention and consistency. |

| |  | Prayer as the Most Consistent Act in the Muslim Home By Mahasin D. Shamsid-Deen Within the Muslim household the establishment of prayer is a must. Prayer is an obligatory act in Islam, one of the basic five principles and perhaps the most significant action that exists in the Muslim household. Establishing prayer within the household as a consistent activity is crucial in helping and reinforcing Taqwa and Iman and developing akhlaq as an essential part of each person’s personality because family members are reminded to be every conscious of their Lord. |

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Ihsan is to worship Allah as if you see Him, and if you do not achieve this state of devotion, then (take it for granted that) Allah sees you…" part of Sahih al-Bukhari 4777 Book 65, Hadith 299 |
| |  | Healing Through Consistency: Learning to Show Up for Myself By Miriam Mohamed I started searching for other verses, other patterns—and I noticed it wasn’t a one-off. Time and again, the Qur’an places emphasis on individual accountability and care for the self before turning to others. I realized then that putting yourself first isn’t selfish—it’s alignment. Islam doesn’t teach us to neglect ourselves in pursuit of caring for others; rather, it calls us to include ourselves. To recognize that we too are worthy of the same compassion, forgiveness, and care we offer so freely to those around us. |
