Its real benefits are clear: it teaches us the value of the Quran and of Laylatul Qadr, it is short enough to recite in every salah, and every letter of it earns ten rewards (Tirmidhi 2910). Many parents also teach it early because it builds a child&#8217;s love for Ramadan.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Teach Surah Al Qadr to Kids in 5 Days<\/h2>\n<ol class=\"hqi-steps\">\n<li><b>Day 1:<\/b> Listen to the audio three times together, then learn verse 1.<\/li>\n<li><b>Day 2:<\/b> Add verse 2 and say the meaning: &#8220;What will make you know?&#8221;<\/li>\n<li><b>Day 3:<\/b> Add verse 3 and explain &#8220;better than a thousand months.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li><b>Day 4:<\/b> Add verse 4 about the angels coming down.<\/li>\n<li><b>Day 5:<\/b> Add verse 5, then recite the whole surah in salah.
