My TijarahTen Minutesa Day
Companion to Raising Righteous Hearts.Six weeks, and the Arabic to go with it.

Start here
Two things, running at once.
Ten minutes of Qur’an a day, and eight Arabic phrases a week. Start tonight, in about 10 minutes: read a short surah together twice, close the book, and let them say it back.
One time of day, and keep it
Guide, p.11Write your slot below. It’s the same slot tomorrow, and on the evenings nobody feels like it.
Ten minutes, then stop
Guide, p.09Stop while they still want more. A session they wanted more of is easier to come back to.
Never end on the page
Guide, p.10Read it together, then close the book and let them say it back with nothing in front of them.
Say the phrases, don’t teach them
Guide, p.21Eight a week, said out loud when the moment comes. No testing, no drilling, no marking.

One thing to change next week
Week six is done
Write it down while it’s fresh.
Fill this in tonight, while you still remember which hour worked and what got in the way. Then start again on page 02 with six new surahs.
What they can say with the book closed
The phrases we now say without thinking about it
The hour that worked
What kept getting in the way
What the teacher said to fix first
The surah we start next
My TijarahWhat this book can’t do.
It can’t hear your child read. You’ve heard that surah so many times that your ear fills in what it expects. A teacher listening only to your child can hear what really came out.
Bring this book to your child’s trial lesson. Show the teacher your six surahs on page 02, ask them to hear this week’s surah with the book closed, and write the one thing to fix first at the foot of the week.
No lesson booked yet? Try up to 3 teachers free: 3 free trial lessons with up to 3 different teachers. Each trial lesson is 25 minutes. No card needed. Keep the teacher your child gets on with. You don’t have to decide today.
