How Much of the Qur'an Do You Know?

Alhamdulillah I know a few big Surahs, but I don't think it's enough to vote 1 Juzz on there. But InshaAllaah trying to get there slowly, slowly...

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

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

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!

InshAllah, make dua for me, yes?

And I'll in turn keep you all in my prayers

Assalamu Alaikum wa rahmatu Allahi wa baraktoh

Well, I know 13 suras

It's not much but I haven't been working on it. I like to listen to them, for example, surah Al-Hamazah and they comme naturally.

I learn them from this site.

Yea, it's sad that we spend days playing on the forum and throw the Qur'an behind out backs.

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.

I only know 33 surahs

Those 33 surahs are from the last part of the quran and most of them are very short surahs , except for 3-5 surahs.

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.

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

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