"The workshop had so many beautiful points of reflection that helped you in being yourself and living with the word of Allah ﷻ."
Allah ﷻ says in the Qur’an 47:24:
"Do they not then reflect on the Qur’an?
Or are there locks upon their hearts?"
A young heart is open to receiving light and develops with what it is being fed. When they learn and are constantly fed with reflections on the verses of the Qur’an, they are open to receiving guidance and blessings from Allahﷻ.
Quranic reflection keeps the heart connected to Allah and the path illuminated to achieve its true purpose in life. This leads to self-consciousness, awareness and clarity about the next steps in life.
You might think how is it possible to reflect on the Qur'an when my child doesn't fully understand Arabic - or even recognise all the letters and symbols. Besides your child might be too young and occupied with school activities, madrasah, confusing information and peer pressure. There is no time or space for this, right?
What if I told you the Qur’an can actually help simplify life choices and ease the path with all that - and more?
Imam Ibn Taimiyyah said,
''Whoever contemplates upon the Qur'an with the condition of seeking guidance from it, then the path of truth will be made clear.”
Your child doesn't need to conform with the demands of society that are not beneficial for them, nor aimlessly scroll through social media feeds or hire expensive life coaches to help boost their confidence or ever need to worry about how they will navigate all the turbulence of life.
The Qur’an is the guidance from the One who gifted and nurtures them.
They will never lack companionship through their life journey. It is their GPS whenever they need to find their way; the compass to direct them north, south, east or west; the flashlight to show them the straight path in the dark. A friend that supports them.
By heeding the guidance of the Qur’an, your child can instantly unlock all its benefits for this life and next.
The Qur’an is a Guidance and Source of Blessing for Everyone
No matter if your child knows Arabic or not, if you think they’re too old or too young, or if they’re too busy with other studies, the Qur’an is a guide for them.
The Paradise Pearls is bringing you…
The Qur’an and Me Workshop
A detailed workshop for young Muslims (11-17yrs) to help nurture their hearts to receive the guidance and blessings of our Lord by means of Qur’an Reflection, Tadabbur, on Juzz 'Amma.
Our focus is Tafsir and Taddabur of the final surahs of Juzz Amma in sequence.
This is a Qur’anic nurturing programme that aims to connect teenagers with the Qur’an and Sunnah in a thematic way so that it becomes a way of life for them. It focuses on instilling Islamic values, whilst building confident and active Muslims. It aims to promote self-examination (Muhasiba), contemplation (Tafakkur), self-monitoring (Muraqabah), spiritual excellence (Ihsan), and living by Quranic teachings.
The Qur’an and Me Workshop is unique because it’s taught in a way that is interactive, practical and relevant to the youth, the 'Generation Z'. The goal is:
- To address internal struggles and modern-day challenges that teens face in their lives through reflecting and connecting hearts to the Qur’an
- To explore techniques and tips on how to reflect on the Qur’an
- To develop a good understanding of the Qur’an as a means of empowering against ideas outside the fold of Islam
- To develop a steady and balanced routine with the Qur’an
- To lay a solid foundation for personal development, self-exploration and innovative skills through the lens of the Qur’an
- To explore the endless divine treasures of actionable strategies, life skills and Islamic values embedded in Juzz ‘Amma.
Whether they have been reciting the Qur’an for years or have just started the journey, the Qur’an and Me Workshop will help them to better understand and implement, connect and relate the lessons from the Qur'an so they can build a deeper connection with Allah ﷻ and make Him the main part of the equation in all matters in their life.
What Parents and Children Say
“My daughter has benefited a lot from the Qur’an and me workshop. She was very impressed by how motivating it was. She especially liked the ayah from Surah Al-Qasas. Alhamdulillah I really enjoyed watching her doing the reflection after the workshop.

“I took part in the Quran and me course and I would like to say a big thank you to Solace and Paradise Pearls for giving me this beautiful opportunity to study and reflect on the Quran with like minded revert sisters. Course was interactive, and we benefited from sharing each other’s knowledge and interpretations of different ayahs; reflecting deeper on their meanings and what they may tell us about Allah ﷻ and his wisdom. I also liked that it was timed for the four weeks preceding Ramadan which helped us prepare and reconnect with the Quran.”
Chloe Fish
“I took part in the online webinar ‘Qur’an and me’ and really enjoyed it! The host Rahmah was really kind and attentive and an excellent speaker, helping us to think deeper and have a deeper connection to the Qur’an. Along with the course arrived the book ‘Qur’an and me’ which is a reflective journal. A journey to deep thinking and reflection helping to explore our thoughts and feelings of the verses of the Qur’an in greater depth. I have benefitted from this hugely.”
Renice
“I took part in the online webinar Quran and me, Alhamdulillah it was beautiful because i was able to learn from other sisters, the teacher was amazing! And it also allowed me realise the importance of breaking down and trying to understand a deeper meaning of Quran, especially some surahs I recite on a daily basis. Now we have reached the month of Ramadan Alhamdulillah this journal gifted to me by you at solace is literally keeping connected to the Quran. Each day, I choose a page and I research more and more. Thank you for allowing me to access this course. BarakAllah feeki.”
Soraya Rhoden
“I usually get anxious when I start something, the anxiety gets very bad. For the first time I broke the barrier down. I was very anxious before the course started and I was nervous when I took the first class. but I pushed through, I found myself engaging in the class. I’m glad I did.
The journal is inspiring. The classes were wonderful and the whole course itself. It teaches you to really reflect on the ayats of the Quran. Rahmah is a wonderful teacher, a wonderful voice, she is so humble. I would do it again, it was very interactive and there were quizzes too.”
Fatima
“I am humbled to have been a participant of Quran and Me Course. It assisted me to connect more with myself and be open through ways of pondering deeply with Ayat.The beautiful thing is in a journey which is like the after need when Ramadan finishes..Allah accept it from you all and give her the resting place of Jannah.”
