How To Memorize the Holy Quran
Methods of Memorization
The author calls attention to the fact that the Holy Qur'an is divided into several divisions which are:

1) the juz or part

2) divisions of the juz into smaller sections like the hizb

3) and the division of the ahzab into fourths.

The author advises the memorization of Qur'an along these divisions. To begin with memorize the smallest section and that is 1/4 of a hizb, then 2 fourths of a hizb (half a hizb), then 3/4 hizb, until a complete hizb is memorized. The entire Qur'an can be memorized in this manner, by the help of Allah.

As for the last juz, JUZ 'AMMA , he says that one fourth contains more than a surah, so in this case it is best to memorize one surah and then another, with the exception of the shorter surahs at the end of the juz , then he suggests memorizing two or three surahs at a time, depending on the person's ability so as not to lose a whole day memorizing a very small surah.

Before actual memorization, it is necessary to choose a proper time, place and mental attitude:-

1. The Preferred Times For Memorization of Quran:

There are many preferable times for memorization: the time of sahr (before salat Al Fajr by a period of time equal to the last fourth of the night) and this is a good and blessed time; and there is the time after Salat Al Fajr until the time of Duha; and there is the time that is between salat Al Dhur and Asr, if you do not want to sleep during this time; and there is the time that is before salat Al Maghrib by an hour and a half, approx.; and there is the time between Maghrib and Isha prayers; and an unlimited time possible to choose from is the time that you see yourself inclined to memorization of the Holy Qur'an and revision of it. In other words, analyze your typical day. If you see that there are certain regular periods where you are more peaceful than other times, or there is less demands upon you at a certain particular time, then choose this time for Qur'an. These are the most beneficial times as some of them are periods of peacefulness and contentment of the heart and restfulness, and some of these time periods are not usually considered busy periods of the day for work or activity.

2. The Preferred Places For Memorization of the Quran:

There is no doubt that the best place for memorization of Qur'an and other acts of worship are the houses of Allah (masjids) and after that places that are clean and far from filth (najaasaat--impurities that break the wudu and are unlawful to make salat in the midst of) and far from work (business) and disturbing sounds--that is, to sit in a clean and peaceful room that doesn't have distractions in it or areas that attract your attention or noises that disturb concentration, or any machines going (especially the T.V.). And if you cannot find such a room, then go to any other place on the condition that it is clean and as previously mentioned above.

3. The Best Mental Attitude (condition) For Memorization of Quran:

Your mental condition must be settled and calm. [Translator's comment: I don't know why I did not finish translating this section. Basically, your mind should be clear and at ease, not caught up in sorting out problems or thinking of what else you have to do. You should be ready to concentrate even if it is for only 15 minutes.]

Methods of Review
[Translator's comment: This was basically the same as methods of memorization from the very beginning. Take it section by section and if you have memorized a large portion of Qur'an or the entire Qur'an, you should review everything at LEAST once a month.

General Advice
This section is a gift from me to you -- advice related to the method of memorization of Qur'an and revision and what that entails.

1- Be free from the 2 hadaths (ceremonial impurities), major and minor when you memorize and revise Qur'an because of the greatness of what you are reading and reciting -- Allah's words -- and make a realization of what Allah said :

Hajj: 32 which translates: "And whosoever honors the Symbols of Allah, then it is truly from the piety of the heart."

2- Try to chose the most appropriate time and proper place to memorize and to revise.

3- Before memorization and revision you must seek refuge in Allah from the Shaitan by saying "A'oudhu billahi AlSamieul Aleem min Ash-Shaitan Ar-Rajeem".

4- Try to feel or sense the greatness of the words of Allah, and their meaning when memorizing and revising because this will cause good memorization.

5- It is good when reading a quarter or memorizing or revising it in a room or other place to read with a moderate voice, not with high volume or extremely low volume, because reading aloud increases the strength of your memorization; except if you are in a masjid, for example -- under that circumstance you must read in a subdued voice (where you can hear yourself) so as not to disturb others involved in worship or in his salat or reading Qur'an.

6- Try to improve your sound with Qur'an, carrying out the words of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him [reported by Muslim] "Embellish the Qur'an by your voices".

7- If you can memorize by yourself do so, and if not, agree with one of your companions (brother or sister in Islam) to memorize a particular juz so as to increase your activity.

8- YOU MUST MEMORIZE QUR'AN FOLLOWING THE RULES OF TAJWEED. [Translator's emphasis]

9- Try not to leave a quarter that you have memorized -- read it in salat as you memorize, and when revising.

10- If you complete the memorization of a new quarter or new surah, do not move on to another one until it is perfectly memorized.

Mâshâ Allâh, may Allâh ta'âla make us all of those who memorize the whole Qur'ân by heart, and act upon it, âmîn..

A good time to make hifdh is after fajr :thumbs_up

[Ummu Sufyaan]

:sl:
i dont know by heart a great deal, (im sure exactly. i know most of the smaller surah that are towards the end. and i just memorize what surah i happen to love). but I dont think i've never had the desire to memorize the whole quran. out of the "medium" sized suras (i.e the one more in the middle of the quran), i've memorized two, al hamdulilah. I just dont feel that i have the commitement and the paitence. i had a goal to memorize a particular surah by the end of ramadan (alhamduliah, i made it!), and subhanallah, it made me realise that memoriation of the quran....you just have to give it your all. something, in my heart, i feel dosn't exsist.

I need to improve and memorise much much more :( I suppose it has alot to do with how determined you are and consistent :thumbs_up

[ayesha309]

:sl:
i thnk more important than memorzing is continuing to retain the amount you have learnt (i.e. not forget it!) furthermore, while memorizing one learns there are soo many similarities from one juzz to another, from one surah to another and the difficult part is to remember which one belongs where. i hope you understand what i mean. Anyways, Insha'Allah May Allah make it easy for all those who are trying to memorize the Qur'an. But just remember do NOT forget what you have learned. There are harsh punishments for forgetting the Qur'an but it is not a sin if you did not memorize the whole Qur'an. and Allah knows best

well, i am in the process of memorizing the Quran. I am in Juz Mulk, Surah Qiyamah. Insha Allah, I would love to memorize the whole Quran, but one thing i love more than this to understand the Quran in Arabic. So that when i am praying salat i know what I am reciting. Especially in Ramadan, when the Imam is reciting the Quran, I would love to cry with him when he is reciting a surah:cry:But I can't at this moment, one day Insha Allah.

[Umm Hurairah]

Masha Allah 27 hafidh/hafidhas.

I could not reply to the poll because I know less that 1 juz. Allah, in His amazing Grace, has blessed me with the ability to learn 14 ayat of An-Naba' and surahs At-Takaathur, Al-Asr, Al-Maa'oon, Al-Kawthar, Al-Kaafiroon, An-Nasr, Al-Masad, Al-Ikhlas, Al-Falaq, An-Naas, and of course Al-Fatiha. That comes to 71 ayat to date. I learned Al-Maa'oon this past Ramaddan.

Mashallah thats cool :shade:
Are you a revert bro?

Yes, I reverted in 1982, but I have practiced Islam consistently only since June 2001. Allah (swt) has also blessed me with the ability to learn a little Arabic through the use of Arabic Playhouse and Al-Qari software. Masha'Allah.

how much do you know, and when did you start. if you dont mind my asking.
:sl:

[Ummu Sufyaan]

:sl:
memorization of the quran needs commitment. something i definatley i dont have. the haafith i know start from suraat an-naas, and is working upwards. what do u think of that.
can i ask you one other thing. what do you do when you come across two ayahs that sound almost exactly the same? have you ever had trouble with that?
:sl:

[Abu Musab]

:sl:

First finished the Quraan when I was eight.
I now try to complete it at least once during Ramadan.

:w:

Do you mean you first completed reading the qur'an when you were 8 or you completed memorising the qur'an at that age? :uuh:

[Abu Musab]

well you don't have to complete, you could try and get vital surahs memorised like Yasin, Mulk etc. Then from that you can grow on it...

And some people do start from the back as it might be easier...But I think that if it's easier to go from the 30th, then move from both the 30th and the 1st. That way you can move through the easier areas quickly and move at a steady pace from the front.

When you come across the mutashaabihaat, it's vital to know what ayah comes before and after and to note the differences in the ayahs. Sometimes, it's easy to get mixed up but that's when Recitiational Reinforcements play a major role ... lol

I think the best is still doing the 30th juz first and then start from the 1st juz until the end, it's the best way actually, because people who do from the back upwards seem to have a harder time doing surah baqarah etc compared to those who started from the front and went forward.

yeah, thats a good point. maybe looking up the meaning may also help.
yeah, i know about that all too well. i got so frustrated when reapeating and making the same mistakes. and up till now, it dosn't come off the tongue fluently, i have to sometimes stop and think about it.

well, i you are talking to me, then i ca tell you form now, im not a haafitha. i just select surahs from the quran that i love to listen to (from sh shuraims recitation :shade:), and memorize them. so far it has been two (in about 2 and a half years. m very slow). i think i'll take a rest for now. i feel so worn out. :phew (all you haafiths are laughing at me, aren't ya's?)

Your in the same boat as me I see and I have recently taken steps to change it Insha'Allah :)


I was addressing the questions to the Hafidhs to get a general Idea of how many I should memmorise per day and how long it might take for me to memmorise using that method. But it would be nice to know about the effort everyone else makes to learn the Qur'an, it's inspiring after all so shukr for sharing that info.

I have been trying to learn Arabic through softwares such as Rosetta stone and internet sources and thus delaying reading or memmorising the Qur'an. I am now trying to kill 2 birds with one stone by reading the word for word translation of the Qur'an which I recommend to all:

7 pages a day :ooh:

7 Pages a day is alottt...how long does that take?

When I was memorizing, i only did one page a day. Every day xcept for fridays I would do revision..one full juz'.

7 pages. sheesh!!! just make sure you dont over exert yourself. in other words dont push yourself to do everything at once. trust me, you'll fall short. i hope i dont sound bossy. :-\:hiding:
do you listen to recitations as you go along. or do you just start off the juz without it being familiar.
:sl:

[sevgi]

nawwwwww

everyones proud of my 'little' bro...*tear of pride trickles down right cheek*...


mashallah bro...keeep onnnn goooiiiinnnn....

[Ummu Sufyaan]

That's the plan, it's the final push before retreating from the front lines to seek refuge from the internal bombardment of Examinations:-\ but fear not, once I complete insha'Allah I will be taking an extra year to fine tune everything, insha'Allah.

Easy on bros :D Sometimes I try not to do 7 pages everyday to keep in line with a revisional victory along side the advancing victories. So when I'm on the 1 juz/Week plan I switch to 4 pages/day.



This wouldn't be possible without these reinforcements. I'd probably still be on the 6th juz or something lol, I owe everything to Allah, my teachers and especially, Sheikh Shuraim who has taught me almost all of what I know. :cry: May Allah preserve them all. Oh oh, and my parents and family who make du'a for me all the time. So As you can see, I haven't achieved much myself.

:sl:
wouldn't be better if you fine tune everything as you go along. this way you havn't memorized the wroing thing, which means the wrong thing hasn't 'stuck.' that way it will be harder to change. i hope that makes sense.

Sheikh Shuraim who has taught me almost all of what I know. :cry: May Allah preserve them all

I've been taught these rules for so many years : it just didn't stick, but once I started using them and listenning to recitations, you tend to pick up some sort of pattern...

Yeah lol...I remember when I was on the first book, Alif Baa....Urm...*smack* TAA TAA!! Then started building on it.

subhanallah. that reminds me of when i was a kid. my older sister was helping me to memorize surat al-falaq. i would recite it to her perfectly from heart. then she would be like one more time. then i would do it again. then she was like just one more time. and i was like, okay then. it went on for a few times. i was thinking, can i go now, please!

i think memorizng te quran at such a young age is a big step if one wants to study the shari3ah becuse you wll have to be taking notes and i image most of the notes would contain verses of the quran. it would be really hard to write/revise your notes if you dont know the verses necessary.

when you're stuck on to ayahs that are very similar, you memorize them together. ever tried memorizing ayah 23 and 33 of surat al-muminoon. :phew really hard.

make sure its a small break though, other wise you're gonna forgot and have to go back what you memorized. trust me, i should know. :D

What if the ayahs are memorized properly, but you're only having confusion in the ends of the verses? Memorizing them together won't really help...as you already know them..but cant figure out where each one goes..

[Ibn Abi Ahmed]

Same here! :X

What I tend to do is use recitations, and then put it into context with the next verse, that really helps.

How do you put into context with the next verse...when its like..not really connected to it? Or do you memorize it as if its part of the next verse?

[Ummu Sufyaan]

:w:

What if the ayahs are memorized properly, but you're only having confusion in the ends of the verses? Memorizing them together won't really help...as you already know them..but cant figure out where each one goes..

i suggest then to memorize a few words of the next verse, along with the meanings. that way, inshallah, you will be able to differentiate between sounds, and meanings. for example, if two ayahs end with similar wording, but are followed (or even preceeded) by different meanings, immediatley you should be able to pick out the differences as there is a change of pattern. does that make sense.

Oh wow Subhan Allah! My lil bro (about the age of your bro) wants to become Imam-e-Kabah Insha Allah. The only time I'm not yelling at him is when he's asking me to make duaa for him lol.

Insha Allah let me know when your bro becomes a Hafidh. Aww Masha Allah lil people are so adowable.

[Abu Musab]

How do you put into context with the next verse...when its like..not really connected to it? Or do you memorize it as if its part of the next verse?

Do you learn on your own? :hmm:

[Esther462]

I hardly know anything in the Qur'an as I've just got a copy and I'm still very new to the faith. At the moment I'm trying to learn the 1st sura for my prayers. After that I will learn learn differnt versis that have an improtant meaning to me.

A teacher will know the tajweed rules and so they can correct you, some people find it hard to pronounce certain arabic letters and only a teacher or someone who knows it well can point it out. However, if you have studied the tajweed rules and it has become second nature you don't need a teacher. Remember having a teacher means you will get further than without one, trust me. Without a teacher I'll learn a page a week, with a teacher I'll learn 2 pages a night or nus hizb.

Iqram said something about connecting, that helps, if you know the storyline or what the content of a surah is and know few arabic terms, minimal as it may be it does help.

I hope all of you are granted memorisation of the Qur'an with sincerity.

I have memorized a total of 23 juz so far and inshallah i can finish soon. It just seems like the last ten juz are becoming harder to get into my brain. I was too happy when i crossed the halfway mark that i started to slack off. These last 7 I really have to push myself. pray for me inshallah. I memorize with a teacher, its not impossible to do hifz witout a teacher but the Dor/Manzil/Review becomes hard without a teacher.
And wow, i was surprised to see that about 1/5 of the people on this forum are huffaz and there are also many hafiza Thats really good alhamdulillah.

One in five who take the poll. There are probably many who Are sad they don't know much Quran, so they don't take he poll. All the huffath are proud of there accomplshment, so take the poll. So it's probably less than 1/5 ofthe whole forum. But nevertheless, 33 huffaz is quite a lot.

Very hard to memorize it. One juz per day is a must i would say. I dont know 8th and 9th at all. Inshallah the next two months ill be going over them then on to the 10th juz and thats a straight terrain to 17 then ill probably have to work hard. It is stressful but I always enjoy reading it.

Alhumdulilah I voted to last time to this thread as less than 5 juzz (it was around 2 juzz that time)......thats was the first time I came to LI..and now I have made a good progress I guess. its around 7 juzz Alhumdulila...........make duaa for me brothers and sisters that I will keep going in sha allah

The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) said: One who was devoted to the Qur'an will be told to recite, ascend and recite carefully as he recited carefully when he was in the world, for he will reach his abode when he comes to the last verse he recites.

[WomanOfJihad]

Mashalah those of u who have voted here i Envy u all ( in a good way) its a shame i m not amongst you. :-(

Id REALY love to do hifz BUT ( i know thats a shaytan's word) BUTTTTT i feel like i m not good at memorising n if i do memorise i fear i might forget it.

Doin hifz its a great responsibility. if u memorise than Subhanallah u r the lukiest person on earth n the Virtuessss thats all a bonus for you. BUTTT if you FORGET than theres a wa3eed for it. but its one of my dreams to do hifz inshallah but at the same time not SURE n scared of forgeting.

[BlackMamba]

I think fear of forgetting should come AFTER someone has completed hifz. Not Before. lol

[WomanOfJihad]

^^^ good point. but one way or the other life gets busier which means less n less tym for dohr. especially with Sisters :
Marriage- Husband-Kidz- Family- household n it carries on

[BlackMamba]

^This is true. Everyone says that its hard for ladies to keep Quran memorized because of those reasons you mentioned.

[WomanOfJihad]

^^ Brother i think ur meant to encourage n not discourage :cry:

but then again i m sure there r lots of sisters out there who have memorised the Holy quran n yet not forgotten it.

are there any sisters here who have done hifz? if yes, id love to read ur thoughts plz. JazaKallahu khairan

[transition?]

:sl:

When I was being taught to memorize Quran as a wee child , we only memorized the Arabic and not the meaning. I've forgotten so much of what I memorized because of that. I'm having a hard time remembering the meaning and the Arabic. I'm gonna retake Arabic lessons or reteach myself some Arabic vocab words so I when I'm reading Quran, I'll have a hint to what the ayat is saying, and hopefully remember the meaning.
sometimes it's so embarrassing because I was born a Muslim, and my Quran buddy is fluent in Arabic, and she reads beautifully. but I learned so little in Sunday school. In fact, MashAllah, it's amazing that I'm still practicing Islam and haven't become of those modernists Muslims that believe hijab isn't necessary or the Quran needs to be changed ASTAGFIRUALLAH! There's so much confusion out there. :X

:w:

[BlackMamba]

Ru sure u forgot because you didn't know the meaning? Because I know some amazing huffaz that don't know Arabic and barely knew any of the meaning when they did hifz.

[Kas1m]

Mashallah i know its hard for the ladies but my wifes small sister memorized the Quran and she reads Quran at the Taraweeh at someones house where all the woman come and read Taraweeh.
You dont have to learn the meaning to memorize the Quran. Reading in arabic alone gives you the good deeds and if you want to learn the meaning afterward then Bismillah.
And people should not fear about forgetting. Here the key factor is to read little maybe but read Everyday REGULARLY and i mean regularly because there is a hadith that goes like 'if you die whilst you were memorizing the Quran, an angel would come in your grave to teach you the rest of the Quran.' so i would advise to read everyday little.
The last thing is that Inshallah I will read Taraweeh next year. There is a problem with me. I stutter a lot well used too, now im okay but im always fearing. Panic plus nervous plus talking to a stranger usually makes me Stutter and ive had bad experiences with that.
So Inshallah next year. The thing is i dont have anyone to Dohr with except my masjid Imam so I sometimes read it alone but i think its way better if you have a teacher

Taraweeh is quite different from other salaah, personally i focus more on the qur'an, because i stipulate beforehand what i'm going to read in each rakaah, so by just following that i can know where to start from.

[Muhaba]

I know almost three juz (1, 30, and most of Juz 29) and am now memorizing Juz 2 while revising Juz 29.

[UmmHasan]

Alhamdulillah I have memorized about 8 juz. If one really focuses on the quran its really not that hard to memorize. But it is really easy to forget it if one doesnt revise it over and over again.

[Detritavore]

I would love nothing more than to be able to check that final option. But alas! imsad

My pervious approaches to memorising the quran have been, erm, fruitless to say the least. As of late I've opted for a more systematic, logical regime. Learning the Arabic language and the science of Tajweed have thus become paramount in my quest to memorize the blessed Quran. That way, my recitation will be prefect (more or less) and, better still, I'll understand that which I have committed to heart. Boy, if only Arabic was my mother tongue, life would be a dream!

Asalaamu Calaykum,

I have to say am more or less in the same situation. I am trying to learn Arabic although I have good basic like reading but writing. I can understand like 30% of what I read and the rest I understand from the English translated Quran Karim I have. Mansha allah, years ago I memorized like 3 Juz but now forgot so re-doing again. I am on Chapter 101 (Surah Qari'a) Insha allah I want to finish like 2-4 Surahs every day and recite what ever I finish my spare time. I want to fully memorize Quran Karim because walahay it is beautiful, makes my heart beat faster, makes me peaceful and forget all that's in this world. What is better than reading the words of your one Lord? Nothing. Subhanna Allah. imsad

That's really good that you're making an effort to memorize Quran. But I just want to say one thing. There is no such thing as "english Quran," the Quran is in Arabic and any of the english translations are just translations-not Quran. Translations are made by humans while the Quran was made by Allah. So the only use of translations is to get the basic meaning of the Quran, not really to memorize. Keep making an effort to memorize in Arabic, listen to recordings www.quranicaudio.com

41:3 (Asad) a divine writ, the messages whereof have been clearly spelled out as a discourse in the Arabic tongue for people of [innate] knowl*edge,

You must be speaking about transliteration, right? :)

If there's nobody to teach you in your locality or they simply do not match your timings, I'd personally suggest you take one of those online Quran teaching programs, Sister. Actually, one of my friends recently started it and he loves it! They also have a trial program too, to my knowledge.

May Allah Ta'ala make it easy for you.

I only know the 1st surah but I keep going wrong in it so I'm still learning it.

Alhamdulillah I learnt Arabic 3 years ago, wait no its four years now, but that was onl the real basics. Alhamdulillah since then Ive been taking tajweed lessons, on and off. and now I know 18 surahs alhamdulillah :) its such a great feeling mashALlah wen you complete a surah.

May Allah give us all guidance and allow us to memorise the Quraan. ameen

[cat eyes]

:sl: im learning at the moment also. it takes two years to get the pronunciation accurate for others who know other languages it takes them less time. always make sure your teacher is qualified. so many muslims have been thought wrong because they were thought by just anybody. if you even have one word wrong you are committing shirk with Allah so always make sure you have it completely correct

[Cabdullahi]

my advice to you is too listen to a recitor on your mp3 whilst you pronounce give it one month and you'll be the best :)

I didn't know that... I should from now isten to a new surah first

[footy_craze]

Memorized 24 juz so far. on surah tauba,Will be done hifz my march INSHALLAH and then I have to revise

[footy_craze]

My teacher once told me that whatever you read in nafl salah you won't forget it. Like you might forget parts of it but it'll become easier to revise. I tried it and it works.

Yeah, makes sense. Sort of like how you never forget what you read in Taraweeh. :omg:

[Nokiacrazi]

Alhumdulillah I know Surahs 101-114, 96, 1, some various ayats.

Im also striving to learn Surah Ya-Sin 36.

May Allah make our pronunciation and understanding better.

alsalumu alaikum sister

you actually made a mistake by saying that if you miss one word wrongly you are committing shirk,actually its the opposite make sure if you get any information ask for proofs

and this is the proof,its an authantic hadith its from bokari and muslim aisha may Allah be pleased with her said that the prophet peace be upon him said a person who read the quran perfectly

he or she will be with al safrh al brar al krmh >>>with angels which is a good thing and a person who read the quran with difficulty and hardly and trying to read it will get double reward

ooh you are lucky because you dont speak arabic ^^

^what? how are you lucky for not knowing arabic? the main miracle of the quran is in the arabic language. why learn it without knowing the meaning? then your just a parrot

[BlackMamba]

^There are sooo many huffaz that don't know any Arabic. I would even go as far to say that most huffaz do not know Quranic Arabic.

If you can learn the meaning of what you memorize thats great but its easier to memorize the whole Quran and then learn Arabic. But wat tango said is right, if you memorize but from your actions your a munafiq then no point in memorizing

[BlackMamba]

That gets me pretty mad, I see and hear of people that memorize the whole Quran, and then their actions are like those of a kafir. They memorize the Quran and go smoke pot and drink. These people are the ones that are thrown in madrassahs against their will as young children and come out as "Huffaz" By the time they come out of the madrassas they are adolescents that have the Quran in their brain, but have no idea what it means and even more importantly have no desire to know what it means. These people go on to do nothing with their lives, and this is a big problem that we have throughout the Muslim world and even in the West.
