What is a Muslim's biggest dream ?
A Muslim’s biggest dream is to memorize the Holy Quran. Every Muslim wishes for memorizing the Holy Quran. If they can’t memorize the Holy Quran themselves, a lot of Muslims try to reach such a goal through their kids.
The conditions of acquiring knowledge :
Al-Imam Al-Shafe’i set six conditions to acquire knowledge. Imam Al-Shafe’i said: “To acquire knowledge, one needs intelligence, seriousness, hard work, money, accompanying a tutor and a long span of time.” One of these six conditions is to accompany a tutor or a teacher. This means that if a kid wants to learn the Holy Quran, for example, that kid should accompany a tutor or a teacher. For this reason, there are many ways through which a kid can learn and memorize the Holy Quran, like:
The traditional old ways :
1- This is the traditional way of memorizing the Holy Quran. Attached to a lot of mosques, there are still some elementary institutes for teaching the Holy Quran for kids. These institutes are called (Katateeb, sing. Kuttab). Kids at a very early age attend these Khatteeb to learn the Holy Quran at the hands of Sheikhs or tutors.
2- Very wealthy parents prefer to invite such tutors home and teach their kids the Holy Quran at Home. In both cases, well off patrons fund memorizing the Holy Quran as a work targeting the satisfaction of Allah.
Memorizing the Holy Quran and technology:
3- A very useful way to learn the Holy Quran is to listen to famous masters of recitation. The great advance in the field of recording technology has made it easy or even fun to listen to records of recitations to surahas, Juz’s and even the Holy Quran as a whole.. Students can listen to the same recitation over and over till they have memorized the part of the Holy Quran they like to memorize.

Many institutes work in the field of teaching the Holy Quran for kids online. These institutes employ specialized Quran teachers.
