I am so happy when reading brothers and sisters experiences in memorizing Quran and also the tips are useful. I started memorizing Quran in 2006 during my pilgrimage in holy city Mecca but I made a mistake. I started with Surah Maryam and not from Muqaddam or Juz-Amma, it just sparked in my mind during I sat alone in Masjidilharam after talking to a Hafiz who asked me whether I memorized any surah from Quran or not. I feel remorsed that I had take for granted the chance of memorizing Quran that I had in Islamic school last time, we had the class in school but we followed the whisper of Shaythan by playing around Alhamdulillah I memorized the whole Surah Maryam and now proceeding with Surah Tha-Ha. I feel that I must proceed with what I have done and finish it before correcting my mistake. Now, I almost finish memorizing Surah Tha-Ha and it is about two pages more.

Hope brothers and sisters pray for me. I encourage respective brothers and sisters to start memorizing verses in Syaaban. It is the gate of Ramadhan.
