Our First Educational Tool: Developing Simple Games to Teach Quranic Concepts 🎲

Bismillah: As Syauqi’s engagement with the Quran grew, we started thinking about how we could make learning even more fun and interactive. That’s when we decided to create our first educational tool—simple games that brought Quranic concepts to life! 🧩🌟

Turning Lessons into Play 🎉

• Game-Based Learning: We began by turning Quranic stories into playful activities. For example, after learning about Prophet Ibrahim’s (AS) bravery, we created a simple matching game where Syauqi had to pair bravery-related scenarios with the right responses.
• Interactive Lessons: These games were designed to reinforce what Syauqi had learned through stories and doodles, making the lessons more memorable and engaging. We found that when learning was combined with play, the concepts stuck better.
• Family Fun: It wasn’t just Syauqi who enjoyed these games—Nurin and even we, as parents, found ourselves having fun while learning together. The games became a regular part of our family time, deepening our collective understanding of the Quran. 🎮💖

One of the first games we created was a simple board game that followed the journey of Prophet Musa (AS) from Egypt to the Red Sea. With every step, Syauqi had to answer a question related to the story, reinforcing his understanding of the events. 🌊📜

The Birth of Iqrasaurus Tools 🦖

This experience highlighted the importance of making learning interactive and enjoyable. By turning Quranic lessons into games, we were able to Inspire a deeper love for the Quran in Syauqi. This was just the beginning of developing more tools to support Islamic education.

As Allah says in the Quran:

"And whoever fears Allah—He will make for him a way out." (Surah At-Talaq, 65:2) 🌟

This verse reminded us that when we put our trust in Allah, He provides us with creative solutions to guide our children on the right path.

A Peek Into Our Conversations 🗨️

Syauqi: "Daddy, can we play the Musa game again?"

Daddy Ikram: "Of course, Syauqi! But first, tell me what happened when Prophet Musa reached the sea."

Syauqi: "He asked Allah for help, and Allah parted the sea!"

Ummi Ziehan: "That’s right! And every time we play, we remember how powerful Allah is."

Syauqi: "I love this game, Ummi! Let’s play more!" 🎲🌟

End Note: Games are a wonderful way to make Quranic learning interactive and fun for the whole family. Stay tuned as we reflect on the first year of our journey and what we learned along the way! 📅✨
