I'm 17, my native language is Arabic. I grew up in Egypt but now I live in Australia. I understand Arabic but not quranic Arabic, I can't read or write Arabic.
For those who memorised the Quran can you tell me how long it took. It's kind of too late for me really since kids can memorise and absorb things quicker than adults but I know it's possible Inshallah. So assuming I'm going to take Arabic classes so I can write and read Arabic how long will it take to memorise the Quran? 7 years?
It would really be appreciated if someone who memorised the whole Quran and was in my situation gave me some insights.
Re: How long would it take to memorise the whole Quran?
It all depends on the person. I think you should still do school since you're 17, because when you memorize the Quran, your memory becomes sharper, and it will make it easy for you in school later. (College/Uni)
3-4 years, try your best ma'shallah. It's all about effort.

Brothers and sisters, don't forget each letter you say when reading the quran is a reward for you, and each reward is written for you as ten by Allah's generosity.
So in Bismillah arRahman arRaheem 19 letters which means 190 rewards! Just by doing the bismillah without even starting you gained 190 rewards InshAllah.
So how about doing ayas and repeating when you memorize?
It is truly an offer from Allah we cannot refuse. It is the chance of a lifetime truly because some of the scales on the day of Judgement may only need one reward for it to be heavier and open up the way by Allah's mercy to the Jannah!
We ask Allah the sincerity, the truthfulness, the acceptance, the good abode at the hereafter.

walaikum assalam.
my bro started memorizing Quran when he was 13 and completed it around 20-22 months
At 17 one can still memorize and absorb things easily so i think if you concentrate fully you can do it in 2-2.5 years. depends how much time you will give daily.
Re: How long would it take to memorise the whole Quran?
depends on how much you memorize per day, month, year. Each Juz has 10 sheets (20 pages). There are 30 Juz in the Quran. how many pages can you memorize per day or week? per year? how many juz will you be able to memorize per year? you can calculate the rest yourself depending on your ability to memorize. the sooner you memorize , the better becuase as you grow older, memory becomes weaker and it becomes more difficult to retain the memorized portion. What I learned upto midteens i don't have to revise at all and still don't forget on the other hand, more recent Surahs I forget easily and have to revise a lot. May Allah enable us to memorize and retain what we memorized.
Re: How long would it take to memorise the whole Quran?
I'm 25 already and I've only memorized around 20 short Surahs. It gives me something to look forward to trying to memorize the whole Qur'an now that I've read what is posted here. Jazakallah for the information everyone.
Re: How long would it take to memorise the whole Quran?
Salaam brother.
If you memorized 3 pages a day on a consistent basis, you can do it in less than a year. 3 pages a day may seem really tough, and in the beginning it is. But after awhile, you will be used to it and memorizing will be easy.
But let me tell you that memorizing is not the hardest part, the hardest part in the revision and keeping the memorization strong. You have to read 3-5 juz a day and be consistent with it or you'll just end up forgetting. A true hafidh in my opinion is one who is very strong in recitation and he understands what he is reading.
May we all become a hafidh one day and may we do it only for Allah's pleasure (:
And He gives you of all that you ask Him; and if you count Allah's favors, you will not be able to number them; most surely man is very unjust, very ungrateful.
Re: How long would it take to memorise the whole Quran?
I think I posted a thread on this but you should watch the traveler with the Quran series. It will give you a strong boost and give you guidelines to memorize. They show people blind and people who have mental disorders and they still memorize the entire Quran. It gives me and hope it gives you motivation as well. Btw I'm 17 too and Quran is easy to memorize, we just need more time and effort.
He is Allah, other than whom there is no deity, the Sovereign, the Pure, the Perfection, the Bestower of Faith, the Overseer, the Exalted in Might, the Compeller, the Superior. Exalted is Allah above whatever they associate with Him [59:23]
Re: How long would it take to memorise the whole Quran?
I struggle to memorise. I have a lazy mind. It loves to dream away and hates remembering. Even full concentration and repeated over and over again can be forgotten not too long after. I tried Yassin at one line a day, when it got to around 15 lines I was having a tough time separating the 12th 13th and those that followed. Every additional line after that just could not sink in. I've got to leave weeks if not months before I embark on memorising another. I also make an effort to understand it too.

Re: How long would it take to memorise the whole Quran?
Just to add to the above post, I have also noticed several 'sharril' or 'sharrul' and 'Khairil' or 'khairul' meaning kind of 'not good or bad' and 'good' respectively. But I have many friends with the name Sharil or Sharul..

Re: How long would it take to memorise the whole Quran?
If you are a moron you will never memorise it. If you are a genius it should take a day or two. If you are not one of these it will take some time in between.
And if you are a prophet you will get direct downloads (enlightenments) and not need to read any copies.
