tul-Madinah (for girls) for the education and learning [Tarbiyyat] for boys and girls. In these Madaris, the Holy Quran is taught and memorized with Tajweed and Qira`at. Its teaching and recitation, listening and making others listen are all acts of reward. One gets 10 virtues for reciting only one letter of the Holy Quran.

اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ! The Holy Quran is a source of guidance for every Muslim. Acting upon it leads to success in both the worlds. But remember! In order to act upon it, it is essential to recite, learn and understand the Holy Quran correctly. Alas! Majority of us are gradually getting far away from its recitation, learning and understanding. We are not acting upon it. However about its education, the Beloved and Blessed Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said: ‘خَيۡرُكُمۡ مَنۡ تَعَلَّمَ الۡقُرۡاٰنَ وَعَلَّمَهٗ’ ‘The best person amongst you is the one who learns the Holy Quran, and teaches it to others.’ (Sahih Bukhari, Fadaail-ul-Quran, Hadees 5027)

About how much should one learn the Holy Quran, Imam Ahmad Raza Khan رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has mentioned, ‘Learning as much Tajweed by virtue of which one can clearly and correctly differentiate between all letters (of Arabic alphabet) is Fard-e-‘Ayn (obligatory for each Muslim adult) and without this differentiation, Salah is absolutely invalid.’ (Fatawa Razawiyyah, vol. 3, pp. 253)

We should also admit our children in Madrasa-tul-Madinah to provide them with Quranic education with Tajweed and Qira`at, to make them righteous by providing them moral education and to make them a continuous source of reward for us.

عطا ہو شوق مَولٰی مَدرَسے میں آنے جانے کا

خُدایا ذَوق دے قرآن پڑھنے کا پڑھانے کا

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب              صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

What is fear of Allah called?
