Surah Al-Kawthar
إِنَّآ أَعْطَيْنَٰكَ ٱلْكَوْثَرَ فَصَلِّ لِرَبِّكَ وَٱنْحَرْ إِنَّ شَانِئَكَ هُوَ ٱلْأَبْتَرُ
Meaning: We have given you Al-Kawthar. So pray to your Lord and sacrifice. Indeed, your enemy is the one cut off. See the meaning of Al-Kawthar for kids.
The longest, for comparison
Al-Baqarah (2) has 286 verses and fills about 48 pages of the Madinah Mushaf.
Teacher’s tip: Al-Kawthar is a great first “I memorised a whole surah!” moment for a 4-year-old. Celebrate it.
