Listen and understand

Study meaning: then glorify your Lord with praise and ask His forgiveness. He always accepts repentance.

The response to success is praise and asking forgiveness. Tawwab describes Allah as accepting repentance. Ibn Abbas also understood the surah as indicating that the Prophet’s life was nearing its end, as recorded in Bukhari 4970.

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.
