MIND YOUR
MANNERS
There are special manners for many things in Islam. Eating, drinking
and even talking. If you want to do things correctly, you must learn how
to do them. This is what Manners mean. The Qur’an is the holy book
of Allah so we need to learn HOW to read it in the best way.
Look up the following Ayat (Verses) in the Qur’an and find the
translation. Then write the translation in the boxes below to learn
the manners for reading Qur’an:
Surah 56: Verse 79
Surah 16: Verse 98
Surah 73: Verse 4
