Listen and understand

Study meaning: The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months.

Better than a thousand months expresses extraordinary worth. A thousand months equals 83 years and four months, but the ayah says better than, not exactly equal to that number. Do not invent a guaranteed reward for every individual action.

Build the ayah

1. Listen to the whole ayah.
2. Repeat a short phrase after the reciter.
3. Join the phrases without rushing.
4. Cover the text and try the complete ayah.
5. Compare with the recitation and correct one point at a time.

Return to ayahs 1-2, then add this ayah. If a phrase is difficult, practise less material and return later. A parent can listen and encourage without asking the learner to compete.
