UK schools close for about two weeks over Christmas and New Year. Without a plan, Quran can slip; with one, it can leap forward.
A two-week plan
| Week 1 | Week 2 | |
|---|---|---|
| Lessons | As normal, or at least 1 | As normal, or at least 1 |
| Morning practice | 15 min daily | 15 min daily |
| Goal | Start a short surah or rule | Finish it; family recital |
| Family time | One Quran night | One Quran night |
Holiday goal ideas
- Memorise a short surah, such as Al-A’la or Al-Qadr.
- Master one Tajweed rule.
- Finish a section of the Qaida.
- Read a set number of pages.
Handling Christmas around you
Many families are invited to events or see decorations everywhere. Use it to talk about Isa and Maryam in Islam. See Maryam and Isa and Christmas at school.
Travelling?
Lessons can continue online. See lessons abroad.
Back to school
The first week of January: revision only, so holiday progress sticks.
Teacher’s tip: winter mornings are dark and slow. A warm drink and 15 minutes of Quran in pyjamas becomes a cosy holiday ritual children remember.
