Each surah is divided into lessons, taking into account the subject and the appropriate length for students’ attention. Each lesson is accompanied by supplementary materials, such as hadiths, duas, and nasheeds. Each lesson also includes illustrations, so that students can easily learn Quranic vocabulary and see examples of good behaviors. These lessons can be a key to the doors of goodness if teachers use them to present the Quran to children easily and simply. Teachers should use their skills and experiences and combine between education and discipline at the same time. Teachers who fulfill their mission by devoting their service to children are an important part of society.

According to many teachers and parents, this curriculum fulfills students’ daily educational and disciplinary needs, and it is continually being developed, so that it may reach its best form.
