Suwar Quran

Your child understands Juz Amma and Juz Tabarak through pictures, and remembers them by voice

Suwar Quran (“pictures of the Quran”) is a free site that explains the surahs of Juz Amma and Juz Tabarak to your child verse by verse: a picture that fixes each meaning, recitation by well-known reciters, the meaning in a child’s words, and one question that opens a conversation. For children aged 7 to 10 with a parent, older ages later. Every surah has two ways in: the picture lessons, or the mind map for memorising.

Start with today’s lesson
A lesson takes under three minutes: verse, recitation, meaning, one question.
Paper-cut picture from Surah Al-Fil: a huge elephant seen from behind, sitting and refusing to move at the edge of a rocky valley, a narrow mountain pass ahead
Today's lesson · Surah Al-Fil
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصْحَٰبِ ٱلْفِيلِ أَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ كَيْدَهُمْ فِى تَضْلِيلٍۢ

The meaning, simply

Do you know what Allah did to the people of the elephant? A big army came with an elephant to destroy the Kaaba, and Allah made their plan fail.

Why Suwar Quran?

  • A picture for every verseThe name says it: surahs through pictures. One picture per verse expresses its general meaning, so the verse stays in the child’s memory.
  • Recitation and repetitionAl-Minshawi and Al-Dossary, and the teaching recitation where children repeat after the sheikh.
  • A meaning for a child, and a questionFrom Al-Tafsir Al-Muyassar in a child's words, and one bedtime question to talk about.
  • Two ways through a surahPicture lessons one by one, or a mind map for memorising: a branch per meaning, an icon per verse.
