I would love to participate, i had started before on my own a few yers abck but then dis continued, I would love to start again, I know some surahs Alhamdolillah I would like to begin again, i think id have to wait though, as I have memorised around 17 surahs from 'Amma. Alhamdolillah

:w:

That's awesome Masha'Allaah. Whatever you've already memorized, you can review!

This is a great idea and i'd love to participate, insha-Allah. Currently I am memorizing Quraan with some teachers at the local masjid. Also I have read the Quraan with tajweed with a teacher but my tajweed still needs a lot of work. Hopefully this program will help my memorization.

I borrowed a Juz Amma tajweed book that has english transliteration. Insha-Allah I'll try scanning & uploading it as it might help those who don't know how to read arabic.

Jazakallah Khayr, sounds good!

May Allah support and bless everyone for their proper intentions insh'Allah,ameen.

Ameen!

MashaAllaah I really like this idea, it could bring a lot of barakat to this forum. :thumbs_up

I think we all need the push to finish the entire Quran, not just finish it, but reciting it off by heart and knowing the meaning of what we're reading inshaAllaah. My Dad is a hafidh, he finished the Quran 13 times, so inshaAllaah I can use his expertise to my advantage.

I also like the idea of recording your voice and sending it off to a hafidh/hafidha, as we can learn from our mistakes. And also learn how to *beautify* our voices.

May Allaah increase our scales on the day of judgement and may he make our path to memorising the entire Quran a smooth one. Ameen.

Insha'Allaah, I hope it will benefit all of us. Ameen to the dua'!
 
:sl:So is there going to be a chart of graph or something like that. Maybe three categories: Sabaq (New Lesson), Sabaqi (Previous Lesson Review), Manzil/Dor (Review). A student of hifz should be doing these three categories on a daily basis. There could be a system that counts the total amount of lines memorized each day, and the pages reviewed. It could be posted up also and inshallah the students can motivate each other. I think when your friends or fellow students are memorizing many lines, then that motivates you to do the same. Jealousy is allowed in this situation.
And make sure you can read correctly, pronounce arabic letters, and know basic tajweed before you start hifz, it will make it easier. you don't do calculus before algebra.

Mashaa'Allaah, Allaah yahfadakum!

I don't know how the muraja'ah could work but I'll give you the ways we do it.

There are three ways:

1) All the students who have memorised Juzz 'Amma are told they need to prepare for next lesson. The students sit in a circle and everyone reads an ayaah each and it goes in anti-clockwise. Until Smaller suraat are reached in which case the students reads the whole Surah each and so forth. Sometimes the teacher will ask you to read few ayaat instead of one ayaah.

2) You prepare Suraah/Juzz or Hizb and the teacher will say 'Kayfa takfuroona billaahi wa kuntum...' and then you finish the ayaah and keep on reading till he/she is happy. You also state the Suraah it is in.

3) You just recite the Suraah/Hizb etc to the teacher from beginning till the end.

You're only allowed three minor mistakes, if you make more mistakes then you repeat it again. If you're reading the suraah from beginning to end, every time you make a mistake you start from beginning of the surah!

I was watching this clip, I can't find it but it's these young brothers, in their 20s sitting in a circle and they are reciting Minhaaj At-Taalibeen from memory [Its 3 volumes!] Subhanallaah! These students would have also memorised the Qur'aan in qira'atayn and have memorised texts such as Safina An-Naja, Arba'een, Ajroomiyyah, Alfiyyah etc, Mashaa'Allaah!

So Inshaa'Allaah I hope this project becomes successful!
 
Ameen. I like the idea of aiming to beautifying our voices as well. A Qari known for beautifying his voice is Mishary Rashid Al-Afasy. He's inspired me personally to recite in the proper way and to memorise Al-Qur'an Al-Kareem. He has a show called "Khalona Ma3a". You can search it on youtube. It primarily concentrates on pronounciation, but you can gain an idea of how to teach etc...



Yes! Use your Dad, and ask him for tips. Does he practice a lot?

:sl: Yeah alhamdulilah, he aims for reading at least a juzz a day to keep his memorisation fresh. I've heard that it's also really encouraged, especially if you've just become a hafidh recently.

Yeah... especially since my memory can become like a sieve if I don't practice...

2. checking by writting the Quranic script ..
yh writing things out is a really good memory aid, but unfortunately not all of us can write out arabic :)...

:w:
No..it's not like we're forcing anyone to memorize/recite. It's a personal commitment. We're going to put our commitment of setting it up, running it and managing it, and it's up to the participants to benefit and keep up insha'Allaah. And we're going to be doing it a pace that works for people that have to work/school and other life commitments so i'm hoping everyone will be able to keep up.
ok, i get your drift. i guess if people are really motivated, then they'll need nothing to motivate them...

Definitely! We'll have text, translation, and links to recitations of the surah/ayaat posted along w/ daily lessons.
im not sure if you've heard these before, but i think they should be useful, inshallah! basically they are a huffadh aid where the surah memorized is broken down into like 3 or 4 ayahs per clip and the haafidh repeats after the qaari until its "drilled in" as opposed to a whole surah being on one clip and getting confused and having trouble keeping up with it.

heres a sample:
Juz' 3amma 1-3
Juz' 3amma 4-6
Juz' 3amma 7-9


Not sure what you mean?
never mind. i think if i explained it would just get confusing...

We're going to focus on memorization. If someone knows the rules of Tajweed it's a plus, but if they don't but know how to recite, Allaah knows best, I think it'll work. Also, I know of some pretty cool videos that will atleast help out the Juz 'Amma group make sure they're recitation/pronunciation is correct. Here's an example:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQGzZYes4Vw
i see...

but im still confused about how we are going to go about this? is it that we are in (self-taught) groups and the leader of our group (who will be a haafidh/haafidha) will just listen to our memorization. so basically the reason why we are in groups and have a leader is to motivate one another :?


when do we start btw...?
 
:sl:

can someone clarify the progress so far?? Im really interested in taking this up inshAllah

I don't think so about the chart..but we do have something in mind in terms of Excel so we'll see... however we do want to keep it simple and easy to follow so that even later on if there are people that haven't started out w/ the initial groups can join in without getting confused by a number of different things.

Again, the goal here isn't to make anyone a hafidh - it's to help people form a daily relationship with the Qur'an that can progressively grow insha'Allaah.

I have posted some surahs from Juz Amma with English tranliteration. Those who can't read arabic might benefit from them. You can read them here: http://www.islamicboard.com/general/134284280-juz-amma-english-transliteration.html

Jazakallah Khayr! Looks good!

Pretty cool ways Masha'Allaah. Thing is all require real time interaction between the teacher and student which is quite beyond our scope online. I think the correction with an Imaam and revisions are on the part of the participant..wallaahu 'alam.

The video sounds awesome, I would really love to watch that! It's a maqarah right?

Juz' 3amma 4-6
Juz' 3amma 7-9
That is seriously awesome. Is the entire Qur'an up online somewhere which we can use? That is perfect for Juz 'Amma, hopefully there are more for level 2 and level 3!

but im still confused about how we are going to go about this? is it that we are in (self-taught) groups and the leader of our group (who will be a haafidh/haafidha) will just listen to our memorization. so basically the reason why we are in groups and have a leader is to motivate one another :?

Plan is for right after Ramadan insha'Allaah. Because it's summer, people are travelling and engaged in summer activities offline. Then Ramadan is a good time to get into the mode and work on imaan etc..so ideal time is right after Eid insha'Allaah.

Basically, each day we'll post a lesson consisting of 2-3 ayaat. Every 4-5 days we'll have a review day where we'll post all the ayaat that were done up to the lesson of the previous day. Each day, the participants say whether they've completed the lesson on a different thread. The Ameer keeps up with who has memorized and who hasn't and will remind/advice accordingly. Once a surah is completed, the participants should record themselves reciting the surah from memory, upload it somewhere, PM the link to the Ameer/Ameerah and they will listen and point out mistakes.

For a proper traditional correction, we highly recommend and encourage the particpants to go and sit with an Imaam and recite to him to ensure a perfect memorization insha'Allaah.

:sl:

can someone clarify the progress so far?? Im really interested in taking this up inshAllah

We're getting there insha'Allaah. Soon we'll open a thread where we'll have people sign up for the level they want to do, along with conditions etc so keep an eye out for that!
 
insh'Allah we will keep an eye out but how long will the program go on for? Example:3months? Will we have to stay for minimum amount of months? Are there going to be terms that new people can join in? Sorry for the questions but thats my general curiosity so*shrugs*. It is a good time that you have chosen after Eid because everyone is busy with family and revising for taraweeh so it is a perfect time. Will all participants need to have a microphone? If so any good ones to buy at future shop possibiliy? If you don't mind me asking before hand,who are going to be the heads of operating this?

^ By the way things are going at the moment, it seems like the former...

Ya ikhwaan, prove me wrong!!!
 
Perhaps some people feel shy to state how many ayaat they can manage, or which surah/juz they want to start from?
