The clip, shared on Instagram, shows Bilal reciting alongside his father, Haris Ismail, during a tasmi’ (Quran recitation) session. Neelofa described how early exposure to short surahs and daily prayers has shaped his learning, noting his familiarity with Mommy Hana’s children’s Quranic learning books since infancy.
"Imagine seeing your child, just over a year old, already reciting short surahs—yes, we can read the Quran now," she wrote, emphasizing gradual, consistent learning. "Little by little, with patience. May what he learns today stay with him forever."
The post resonated widely, with netizens praising Bilal’s articulation and Tajweed accuracy, comparing his recitation to that of native Arabic speakers. Some commended Neelofa and Ismail’s dedication, while others highlighted the benefits of early religious education.
"Masha-Allah, his pronunciation sounds like an Arab child’s," one comment read. Others noted the importance of starting Quranic education young, calling it a model for other parents.
The video offers a glimpse into the couple’s approach to raising their children—particularly Bilal—with Quranic values from an early age, reflecting broader cultural trends in Malaysia where religious upbringing often begins in childhood.
