2-3 days before I memorize only 2 pages of surah baqarah and I stopped it.

jazak allah khairan sister

the key word is repeat and repeat and repeat, the more you repeat, the more you will be able to recall what you have memorized

there's a well known story about one of the salaf who wanted to memorize a book, he kept repeating the page over and over and over for nearly 70 times
and there was an old lady who's living in the flat under him and she used to her him while he memorize, so once she called him asking why is he repeating too many times
he said: that's how i memorize
she said: but i have memorized it from hearing it for a couple of times only
he said: ok say it then
so she did

after nearly a year, he called her asking her to say it again, she said: i have forgotten it
he said: but i didn't, and he revised it in front of her then said, that's why i read it so many times

the point is, the more you repeat it and the more you revise it, the more you will be able to recall it after a long time
revising in your prayer is the best test for you to see if your memorization is good or not

now, can you recall juz Amma, surah yassin, rahmaan etc ?? do you consider your memorization for them poor, good, very good, excellent?

now our goal will be to memorize surat al-baqara plus revising what you have memorized from other surahs

i need to know how much can you memorize each day?
how long does it take every day to memorize it?
how many time do you repeat it each day?

after you answer all these questions, i will put a plan to show you the process you need to follow in regard of memorizing and revising
i want you to stick to it and in sha'llah you will be very happy with the results

may allah make things easy for you

now that's not helping *smiles*

at least tell me what's the minimum you can memorize each day and what's the maximum

also if you REALLY want to memorize quran then you have to take it seriously, saying it depend on my mood is not good
also relaying on whether you are free or not is also not good

you want to memorize quran then you MUST make time for it no matter how you are busy
other wise there's no point of memorizing

in regard of memory, it's good to remember that good memorization is a gift from Allah, he give it to us whenever he wants and he can take it away from us whenever he wants, so we shouldn't rely on something we don't own.

l teach my self in memorizing and finishing the Qur'an, it takes me two weeks to finish one surah, but may Allah help me in finishing and memorizing it though its hard teaching my self

true it's not easy teaching yourself but it's not impossible as well

all i can advice you is to listen to quran ALOT especially the sura you want to memorize so you can memorize quran with as correct pronounciation as you can
and if you find anyone to hear you while revising to make sure that you have no mistakes then it will be excellent, even if you do it once every couple of month

if not then record your voice while revising then after you finish, open the quran and listen to your voice to see if you have any mistakes

may allah make it easy for you and help you finish memorizing the whole quran

10 verses is nearly one page

in sha'allah i will write a plan for the whole surah and give it to you

i can't post links or images so i need to open a new document in word with 4 columns
first column for day/date
second column for what you will memorise
third column for revising what you have memorised recently
fourth column for revising what you have memorised long time ago

that table will be for 73 day
fill in the first column with days
and the forth column, fill it in what what you have memorised before (juz Amma, yassin, rahmaan,...) where each day you will revise one juz only for once a week
ex: Mon ... juz amma
Tue ... yassin + rahmaan + ...
and so one
now i think what you have memorised before is not more than 7 juz' which mean you will have a couple of days free, that's fine, leave it free

in sha'llah i will be back with what should be written in second and third column

Assalamu alaikum,

Welcome here sister.

I have memorized 107 Surahs Alhamdulillah (I had started memorizing from the last juz) . Presently I am memorizing Surah Yunus.
The Surahs which are left (yet to memorize ) are Surah Taubah,Surah Yusuf, Surah Hood, Surah Ibrahim , Surah An Nahl, and Surah Nur.

The Surahs which I have done recently are Surah Maidah And Surah Anaam ( I find myself weak in it now).

Along with hifz , I am a student of dentistry. I find it very difficult to revise . I don't understand what to revise and how much to revise each day .
I don't understand how to give my time to revision and new memorization together .

I did not have a hifz teacher (for my daily lessons) as such till now . Searched a lot for a teacher , but did not get ,I listen to qiraat of many reciters , see its translation in English and then memorize. My parents and family help me . And then in my holidays , I go recite the whole memorized part to any quran teacher.

- how many verses can you memorize every day? or how many pages ?

I memorize around 1 page everyday . ( At times I do 2)

- how many times do you repeat one verse? how many times do you repeat the whole part that you have memorized on one day?

One verse I repeat around 15 20 times , untill I find myself good with it . The whole part I repeat 2-3 times a day .

- how often do you revise what you have memorized?

The part which I have memorized recently , I revise around 3 pages everyday.

The part which I have memorized before, I am trying to make it 1 juz a day ., But somehow I find very difficult to be consistent . Every 6 months ( my holidays) , I go recite around a juz daily to a teacher.

Please help.

Please help.

we alekom el salam we rahmat allah we barakatoh,

ma sha'allah tabarak allah

don't worry, in sha'llah everything will be good

all you need to do is to keep revising and i will help with a plan for it in sha'llah

how long (by minutes) do you usually take to read one juz' ?

do you mind concentrating on revising now
OR
you prefer to keep memorising what's left from the quran along with revising what you have memorised?

Assalamu alaikum wa arhamatullahi wa barakatahu .

I would really appreciate if you help me with a plan .
I take around 25 -30 mins for 1 juz.

I prefer memorizing what is left along with memorizing .

Thank you .

I attend classes everyday from morning 8 am to 4 30 pm . I get only 1 hour lunch break in the middle.

JazakaAllahu khairan.

that's good
at the moment i want you to read 2 juz' every day which means you should finish reciting the whole quran once every fortnight, this should be a revision for what you have memorised and a preparation for what you are going to memorise

in sha'llah i will make a plan for you for memorizing the new surah with revising the old one

i understand from here that apart from Maidah and Anaam and Yunus, you have no problem revising the rest of the surah's

ps: i might take some time writing the plan because i'm traveling in a couple of days and my end of the year exam is after a week, so forgive me in advance

all i want you to do is to concentrate on reading 2 juz' a day

Alright , I will try to read 2 juz a day. Will let you know if I could do that after some days.

Sister, Take your own time . All the best for your exams. May Allah help you .

in sha'llah you can do it, you don't have to read it at once time, you can divide it during the day

yes please let me know how you go because it's going to be part of the plan

jazak allah khairan for your duaa
