MashAllah this seems like an excellent idea. May Allah bless all the people for taking part and giving suggestions and comments.

I am currently attending a class where I am attempting to do hifdh. It is difficult as my life is extremely busy right now. But I have the teacher recite one small surah(Im currently doing Juz Amma) Then I lisetn and repeat then read myself. The class is rn once a week so by the next week I have memorised the surah. She tests me and then gives me another surah to learn.

We also have a chance to learn Allahs beautiful names too. She listens to us each week to see how many we know. We try to add about 2 or 3 to the list each time. MAshAllah it seems to work well. The class is for women, and especially those who have young children, so the class can get a bit noisy sometimes. lol

Anyway, what I mean to say is that this will be an excellent way to aid people in memorising parts of the Quraan and can only be of benefit to people. The amount of effort anyone puts in inshAllah they will get the reward for it.
Perhaps the surah could be linked through the thread so people can learn the surah for the next week inshAllah. I think weekly classes would be good as not everyone logs in everytime and as people were saying, personal lives are very busy so to listen and then recite during our dail lives is an easy way to learn inshAllah.

A fantastic idea alhamdulillah and I think those who can should all try to take part inshAllah
 
can we do same for those of us who need to learn arabic first
 
:sl:

Brother Abd Al Rahmaan I mean will you tell the next reciter is brother Tony.

If that does not clarify I will give another example insh'Allah.

:w:
 
:sl:

a GREAT idea! :thumbs_up

would YOU take part?
YES! Insha'Allah!

:bump1:

& how about having Muhammad n zAk as the 'teachers' for the bros? ;)

Jazakallah Khayr for the input! Very appreciated.

Can you elaborate on linking the surah through the thread? I didn't get that.

We would love to bro, but given the medium it's not feasible. Learning Arabic and learning to recite properly needs the constant supervision of a teacher - which is something we cannot provide unfortunately.

:sl:

a GREAT idea! :thumbs_up


YES! Insha'Allah!

:bump1:

:w:

Yeah, and maybe you too Hafidh Ahm@d! :D

:sl:

Who are going to be the teachers?

:w:
:w:

No teachers per se, this isn't a class. Everyone will have to keep themselves in check - however in order to help facilitate it for the participants we're looking into ways that our Hufadh can 'check' the recitation. At the end, it is the responsibility of the memorizer to go to an Imaam once they complete a surah and recite to him - this would ensure complete correction insha'Allaah.

This sounds like an excellent idea! InshAllah I'll be looking forward to take part.

Make lots of dua'!
 

salam 3lekum
jazaka Allahu khayran akhee .. GREAT Idea
my suggestion for the program is:

1. appointing the teachers.

2. doing a schedule 2 or 3 schedules every schedule different from the other on the pace of memorizing (for ex- the number of the surahs that will be memorized per day)
the schedule may be like this ;
day+date : (mention the surahs that should be memorized )

3. showing the schedules(the whole schedule for all the juzu2 memorizing plan) that were made .. every participant will choose the most fine schedule for him/her.

4. dividing the participants on groups .. every group according the schedule that was chosen !..

yani : schedule 1 >> group one .. etc

also dividing the participants for brothers and sisters ofcourse..
it's better for checking the participant's memorization

and for the checking ways it maybe one of two or two of two ways
1. checking by reciting the surah using the messenger or what ever!(sister to sister - brother to brother)
2. checking by writting the Quranic script ..​

i hope it was clear .. and sorry if i repeat ideas were mentioned before ..

Excellent idea and a noble intention, masha'Allah.

I'm interested in the details as to how exactly the programme would be implemented, monitored, delivered etc., insha'Allah...

i believe that a recording method, the momorizer records themselves and sends it to their group leader, a sister will be assigned for the sisters and a brother for the brothers
 
In regards to a teacher, participants can, once completed go and recite to a local imaam. During, we are still working on ways memorization can be checked
but not everyone has that luxury of reaching an imam.
and also to see if people are putting in the effort, perhaps we should get the rep system involved here---> get rep deductions for those who are slacking off?

As per people's personal lives getting in the way, that's valid too. However, I'm sure people who commit to this because they want to can take out 30 minutes a day to memorize 2-3 ayaat.
agreed...



How about a muraja'ah level? Hifdh is sa7lan in comparison to revision, anyone memorising or has memorised can vouch for that I think lol.
that has to be included...

heavy idea, also i think its best to like memorize first like memorize memorize, and you can always listen to how the letters are recited by different recitors, but memorize first and then concentrate on fixing up what you learnt like makhaarij and the idghaam and other rules of recitation but the main thing should be the memorisation then pap pap :D
good idea...i was also thinking we have an audio/text posted of what we are memorizing. an audio of about 5 sheikhs reciting the same verse, so that we are aided in memorization/tajweed along with the text/translation of that ayah. and 5 sheiks so that everyone gets the shiekh they like/are accustomed to. some like shiekhs sudais, but others may find him too fast, so maybe someone like shiekh minshawy would be more suited for them and so on...


can we do same for those of us who need to learn arabic first
maybe we should somehow run a little Arabic class in complementary to the huffath...you know sometimes when you go to uni you have to take extra courses as an abridgment to the classes you're taking so that you gain that extra little bit of knowledge you need...so maybe something like that...it'll only be something very basic i image and there are plenty of useful vid/texts on youtube and over the net in general on how letters should be pronounced, etc.

also, are we going to focus of just qiraa'ah (recitation where just the letters are pronounced) or tajweed as well (where the letters AND tajweed rules are implemented.

btw, if this goes this goes ahead and is successful, it could bring good publicity to the forum...

Inshallah. And if it is successful then we, as members, can mention it to people by mouth and it'll become even more so.

Interesting but how will they/we memorize alone?

Will make dua insh'Allah.
:w:

:w:

Memorize alone on their own time of course..but along with the group.

Great ideas, Jazakallah Khayr for the input!

1) No 'teachers' per se - I just want to be clear this isn't a class, it's a way to memorize the Qur'an together. We are trying to facilitate that our huffadh will listen to recitations, but the details etc need fine tuning.

2) This is an interesting idea, of having various schedules. A bit challenging, but we'll look into it insha'Allaah. Jazakallah Khayr for bringing it up.

3) As above.

4) Groups within the levels? That's going to be a challange to set up and monitor. We'll take it into consideration insha Allaah.

5) Memorization will be done together, but not the checking. Sisters for sisters, brothers for brothers.

InshAllah :D

In due time insha'Allaah. Make lots of dua'! :thumbs_up

Yeah.

:sl:

One only for each gender?

:w:

Depends how many huffadh we have. We'll see insha'Allaah.

but not everyone has that luxury of reaching an imam.

I guess so. We can't really help that unfortunately. But to at least help out in that regard we're trying to get the recitation checking by the Huffadh going.

and also to see if people are putting in the effort, perhaps we should get the rep system involved here---> get rep deductions for those who are slacking off?
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.

that has to be included...
It's going to be tough. We don't want to bite off more than we can chew, because then we're divided in making x run smoothly and y slacks off and vice versa. So for now we're just going to get the three levels set up and working smoothly insha'Allaah. Maybe later on we can get some more things going, Allaahu 'Alam.

good idea...i was also thinking we have an audio/text posted of what we are memorizing. an audio of about 5 sheikhs reciting the same verse, so that we are aided in memorization/tajweed along with the text/translation of that ayah. and 5 sheiks so that everyone gets the shiekh they like/are accustomed to. some like shiekhs sudais, but others may find him too fast, so maybe someone like shiekh minshawy would be more suited for them and so on...
Definitely! We'll have text, translation, and links to recitations of the surah/ayaat posted along w/ daily lessons.

maybe we should somehow run a little Arabic class in complementary to the huffath...you know sometimes when you go to uni you have to take extra courses as an abridgment to the classes you're taking so that you gain that extra little bit of knowledge you need...so maybe something like that...it'll only be something very basic i image and there are plenty of useful vid/texts on youtube and over the net in general on how letters should be pronounced, etc.
Again, it's a cool idea..but learning Arabic on an internet forum isn't the best means and not to mention how the Staff can manage it all. And again to repeat, we're not teaching..it's not a class.

also, are we going to focus of just qiraa'ah (recitation where just the letters are pronounced) or tajweed as well (where the letters AND tajweed rules are implemented.
Not sure what you mean? 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/pronounciation is correct. Here's an example:

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

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?
