I am looking for suggestions on surahs to use for my salat. I am looking for one particularly easy to memorize (i.e. I don't think al-baqara is a good place to start for me). I have al-Fatiha down and have al-Ikhlas memorized but have been repeating al-Ikhlas for both raka'a in each salah which I do not believe is the correct procedure. I have a Qur'an with transliteration so I could pick any surah and read from it but I think it is more beneficial if I can do salat from memory as opposed to having to rely on reading. Any suggestions would be most helpful!
I am referring to tajweed. I don't know if it is any different for sisters than brothers or if it is the same. When I recite Al-Fatiha and any other sura in salah I just say the words with the best pronunciation as possible within my current ability but I don't say it with any kind of particular toning, length of words or length of pauses in between, or any kind of melody that would match the tajweed of an imam or recorded recitation. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to try to match that or if I can or should just say the words without melody.
