Start memorisation of the Noble Quran with children at a young age, as it is said that what is learnt in the early years is never forgotten.
Indeed, it is narrated from Imām Ali
: “The hearts of youngsters are like uncultivated ground, it accepts whatever is strewn on it.” It is also narrated from the Prophet : “Knowledge in childhood is like engraving on a stone.”
Memorize the Noble Quran with sincerity. All actions should be for seeking nearness and closeness to Allāh (SwT) alone. As this is not something easily conveyed to children, they must be observed to see what their motivation for memorising the Noble Quran is. There is no harm in giving the child gifts to encourage them in the beginning, and then, as they get older, gradually and suitably making them aware of the true goal behind their actions.
