The question

How should listening to the Holy Qur'an be — in order, or randomly?

Our answer

Order is very important with the Qur'an. Begin from the last surah of Juz' 'Amma. Repeat verse by verse until you ensure it's fixed, then move to the next surah. Work in ascending order, from the last surah (Surat an-Nas) all the way to Surat an-Naba'. Let this be the first of your goals in Qur'an memorization. If your child completes the memorization of Juz' 'Amma — and most of them complete it around the age of four — this is a great achievement. Then continue with the following juz' in the same way.
