On this episode, Salim is joined by Imranali Khaki and Tahira Mahdiyya. This duo has been helping families build a better relationship with the Quran. They discuss different ways of engaging children with both individual Surahs and the Quran as a whole by drawing on short stories and verses with practical lessons to learn from.

The couple shares practical tips that help cultivate a Quranic spirit in our homes and walk us through their personal journeys with the Quran. Join us on this journey as we try to reconnect with the Quran and find ways to make it a core part of our everyday life.
