Qur’an Connection Challenge: Spotting Rahmah in Surah Al-Kahf

Introduction

Learning the Qur’an becomes more exciting when children see it as an adventure. The Qur’an Connection Challenge is designed to help kids connect with Arabic words in the Qur’an in a fun and meaningful way. Today’s word is Rahmah (mercy). In Surah Al-Kahf, Allah beautifully mentions this word when telling the story of Musa (AS) and Khidr.

The Word Rahmah in Surah Al-Kahf

In Ayah 65 of Surah Al-Kahf, Allah says that He gave Khidr “Rahmah from Us” before teaching him special knowledge. This verse shows us that knowledge is always connected to Allah’s mercy. By pointing this out, kids not only learn the Arabic word Rahmah, but also understand its spiritual depth.

How the Challenge Works

The Qur’an Connection Challenge turns this learning moment into a simple game:

1. Open Surah Al-Kahf together.
2. Ask your child: “Can you spot the word Rahmah?”
3. Every time they find it, reward them with a star, sticker, or even a cheer.

This playful approach motivates children to notice Arabic words directly in the Qur’an. It helps them improve recognition skills, connect meaning to context, and enjoy the learning process.
