Age-by-age roadmap: what to teach your little Muslim, and when

Pick your child's age to see what's realistic now in seven areas — from Allah and wonder to salah, du'as, Arabic letters, manners, Ramadan and stories — with a 10-minute idea for this week. It's gentle exposure, not a test to pass.

Ages 2–3

At two and three, children learn by copying the people they love.

The seven strands at a glance

One example from each age, so you can see how each strand grows.

How to use the roadmap

Start with love, not a list. Every milestone is “what it often looks like”, not a test. Children move at their own pace.
Ten minutes is enough. Each strand has one small idea for this week. Pick one or two, not all seven.
Tick as you go. Mark “working on it” or “got it!” for each milestone. Ticks stay on this device, or on your child's profile if you have a free family account.
Families differ. Where practice varies between families and madhhabs, follow your teacher.
